1.FuelPHP
The development framework is a php5.3+ alternative to Codeigniter, and the development framework incorporates many PHP5.3 features, such as namespaces, anonymous functions, and fuelphp also incorporates many of the development features of CI (Codeigniter). When you use fuelphp to develop, you will find CI shadow, and the development framework has a growing community, so in the coming days, will gradually be favored. Of course, the site also has "for the CodeIgniter Developers fuelphp Tutorial", if the CI developers can be in-depth understanding of fuelphp, you can also in the "fuelphp" column to learn more about the framework of information.

The author of this framework development, in the creation of the Laravel project, with fuelphp have some common purpose, because they are suffering from some of the classic development framework does not fully adopt the PHP5.3 characteristics, while many excellent development framework suffers from lack of documentation, so Laravel was born. Laravel in development, developers are very focused on the community and document building, so as a PHP developer, in the next time Laravel is a good choice.
3.phalcon
