Question

I’m looking for a good framework for PHP and see most offer the MVC approach, are there any other (or better) design methods/approaches that would be considered more efficient or best practice? MVC is starting to look dated but I wanted to know if it’s still considered the industry standard.

Answer 1

MVC is still the industry standard for every Object Oriented web development language.

However you are afforded some alternate routes:

1. Micro Frameworks (Google Them) (which most often still use MVC design patters, just not as formalized and some not in an Object Oriented fashion)
2. Event-Based Frameworks (like PRADO)

However beyond those routes you are a bit out of luck as far as I know.

Thanks Xeoncross, forgot to add the “micro usually are still mvc” caveat
