Lukas Smith has posted some of his thoughts on who the framework winners are right now and which might pull ahead in the future including Symfony and Zend Framework.

At Liip "Symfony2" started in production a year earlier. Well I say "Symfony2" because it was just our internal framework OkAPI enhanced with the current crop of at the time PHP 5.2 Symfony components (actually we also included the symfony 1.x routing component).

The results were so convincing that we decided to switch to Symfony2 entirely.

The big feature back then and today is of course dependency injection (DI) and the dependency injection container (DIC).

Lukas Smith has posted some of the things he thinks the Symfony2 framework still has left to do before it can be released in a stable form.

In a new post to his blog Lukas Smith has a list of PHP projects that have popped up around the Symfony2 framework and are following some of the framework's standards for development.

In some of his recent work Lukas Smith has been testing the waters of what Solr (the fast, open source search platform) has to offer.

In his work with it he needed a way to convert the queries that come in from users into something Solr can understand.

In this new post he explains how and shares the code for his solution (symfony-based).

As Lukas Smith mentions in his latest post to his blog, the release of PHP 5.3 that was originally slated for today has been put off just a bit longer.

This new post to the PHPClasses.org blog take a look at some of the new features that will be included in the PHP 5.3 release (coming soon to a web server near you!) by way of an interview with Lukas Smith.
