PHP is one of the most favored server-side scripting languages known for its simplicity, <strong><em>PHP frameworks<\/em><\/strong> complement PHP, it provides developers some pre-built modules to ease things out and they don&#8217;t have to start everything from scratch, a platform to create robust, reusable components, and has faster development cycles.<\/p>\n<h3>How do PHP frameworks help developers?<\/h3>\n<p>PHP frameworks give the users a basic structure, with some pre-built modules to develop robust web applications faster. These frameworks enforce coding standards and development guidelines hence standardizing the process and stabilizing the product.<\/p>\n<p>PHP frameworks use <strong><em>Model View Controller(MVC<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>)<\/em><\/strong> architecture, where the development of the business logic is independent of both the underlying data and the overlaying presentation view. MVC helps developers to focus on their specific areas without worrying if their code will adversely affecting the development of the other modules or not. This breaking up of the development process into independent modules increases the speed of the entire development process and improves the stability and quality of the product.<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of using frameworks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Rapid development using the libraries and tools provided by the framework<\/li>\n<li>Easy to upgrade and maintain the developed applications<\/li>\n<li>Excellent community support<\/li>\n<li>Security features such as Input filtering and Output encoding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Top 5 PHP frameworks of 2017<\/h2>\n<p>There are a wide variety of PHP frameworks, many of them are open source frameworks.
