A few years ago, I was the head of my own company, making light CMS systems for small businesses here in France. Heavy PHP work, not using any framework of any sort, just creating everything I needed. I figured that nothing existed that was exactly what I needed, so I just built everything from scratch. When a friend asked me for a hand with a web site, I started looking into frameworks. There was Symfony, which I liked, and Zend that my boss has been keeping on at for some time now. I looked into the 2 frameworks, and tried an alpha run with both. I liked Symfony, but "unfortunately" I started with the newer version, Symfony 2, and the deployment onto a production server was a little chaotic. That has probably changed by now, but with the deadline that I had, I just couldn't use it. I will, however, look into it again in the future. Zend, however, I stuck with. I managed to whip up a site in no time, and it is up and running with pretty good performance. Felt good to dive back into PHP, but the last time I did anything, it was in PHP4, this time I got to play with PHP5. Yet another thing on my to do list, explore PHP a little more!
