I have not tried kohana as of yet, will have to keep an eye out for that. The past few months I have been getting into the Yii framework, which I have found to be superb! It out performs most of the others at the moment and has some really great embedded practices and tools. Great feedback, thanks!

The web was taking off and it was simply AMAZING. Then I kept hearing about this PHP thingy, read some code and realized it was the same concept as ASP but PORTABLE and FREE. :-) "There are also some very fast moving and powerful frameworks available fully supporting OOP including such Frameworks as Zend Framework, Symfony, CakePHP, Codeigniter." And don't forget Kohana which is an OOP fork of CodeIgniter (CI). I haven't used any frameworks yet but I did read the CI tutorials and they were bloody BRILLIANT. Wow, the expressiveness of PHP in such a framework...and you can literally do ANYTHING. Kohana takes that to another OOP level. Any PHP projects I'm undertaking will BE via Kohana. For sure, PHP has come a loooong way and we all owe Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans a huge debt of gratitude for taking Rasmus' baby (php3) and taking it forward with the Zend engine. I still don't think many peeps comprehend the significance of this endeavour. Zeev & Andi are, arguably, 2 of the greatest tech legends in cyber space -- and history will prove me right.

The developers skills are the strength. The flexibility of PHP combined with a strong developer and good coding practice obtains powerful results! HI Zijin,

Full OOP support (with namespace in v5.3/6) Unittesting Frameworks Free! (no costly license fee from MS) loosely typed language as oppose to strongly typed .net (i guess this has pros and cons, loosely typed allows you to do things quicker, but less safe) PHP just need better developers, developers for .net/java are usually good at OOP and good architects, that's why they make better software, little to do with the capability of the language. If .net/java developer are to develop in PHP, they would make equally good software once they master the language basis and api.
