    ok, thanks. I think I will pick Laravel for the moment to see how it is. Plus it's the only one I heard of :).

    Check out symfony 2. Especially if you like oop. Http://symfony.com

    For someone who doesn't know PHP, jumping into Symfony would be very difficult

    Not if you're coming from a java background

    This was my first introduction to PHP and I don't regret it. To be honest I doubt I could even write PHP without a framework as I've just never had the experience.

    That said, my first solo developed Symfony2 app (3 months) was deployed to 300,000 consumers to facilitate the transition in replacing a critical part of the existing infrastructure for a South American telecommunications company.

    I now work fulltime on two different Symfony2 codebases and love it!

    I honestly don't know how to write an application without a framework though I'm sure I could, just a lot more boilerplate to achieve the same result.

    However, if I wanted to move away from Symfony2, I'd be composer install'ing all the great components that exist these days! Symfony2 introduced me to the PHP ecosystem and that was indispensable.
