Zend Framework

Zend Framework quite new, still in beta ( translator : as opposed to writing this article by the author ) , so there are some features that need to be complete. (for example, user authentication Module ) , but it already has a lot of functions. Although it does not take any advantage from the comparison table, the Zend Framework does contain some processing PDF documents,RSS Source, Online Services (Amazon, Flickr, Yahoo) modules, and even more. the Zend Framework also contains several different database objects, making it much easier to query the database and even save you the hassle of writing SQL query scripts.

Currently,the Zend Framework does not fully support orm, but developers are still stuck in whether to add orm Layer of controversy. Perhaps in the future, you can write your own ORM package , contribute to the community, and have the opportunity to integrate it into future versions of the framework.

Zend Framework It looks promising, and it fixes some common PHP problems at the same time . Maybe the stable version will do a better job in the comparison table!
