PHP与应用服务器？ [关闭]

Question

For those of you who have had the opportunity of writing web applications in PHP and then as an application server (eg. Python-based solutions like CherryPy or Pylons), in what context are application servers a better alternative to PHP?

I tend to favor PHP simply because it's available on just about any web server (especially shared host), but I'm looking for other good reasons to make an informed choice. Thank you.

Answer 1

There are several products in PHP which fill the same space as CherryPy or Pylons.

(except, of course, they don't run Python ;)

Have a look at -

• CakePHP - http://www.cakephp.org/
• Symfony - http://www.symfony-project.org/
• Code Igniter - http://codeigniter.com/
• Zend Framework - http://framework.zend.com/

Personally, I prefer Drupal, which works as a great framework and comes with a lot of CMS and community site features out of the box. The ones above are quite different in many ways, but any of these should offer you the best of both worlds if you want an app framework / appserver that runs on PHP.

• Drupal - http://drupal.org/

Which one is the right choice is largely a matter of taste, although each has its various advantages and disadvantages.

There are many more - these are just the ones I've heard good things about from colleagues and collaborators. It's not a complete list.
