Roshan Bhattarai has set up an informal poll in an entry on his site asking visitors to rate what they think the "best" PHP framework is.

I've been asked a lot of times which is the best PHP framework. Well, it's a very difficult question to answer this question and there are some pros and corns in each framework. So, today I would to hear your views via poll.

Included in the list are CakePHP, Symfony, Zend Framework, CodeIgniter. Coming out with around forty-three percent of the votes, though, is the Zend Framework with CakePHP following with twenty-two percent.

Demian Turner has posted about the latest version of the Seagull framework (0.6.3) and an update to correct a remote file disclosure issue (up to version 0.6.4).

Well it took a bit of time but after quite a few months a new release of Seagull is finally out, 0.6.3 (0.6.4). Things have been keeping pretty busy with the startup I'm working on, but it's been a great opportunity to refine some features of the framework and optimize the performance. The early indications are good, after less than 10 weeks of going live Kindo users are creating up to 20k profiles/day and the server load is staying comfortably below 0.5.

The update is a different download that helps correct an issue with the framework allowing user-inputted values from the GET string. Be sure and update your version to keep this security issue under wraps.

The Technovated blog has a new review/process of one of their latest updates to a site - a CMS solution that uses Mediatemple with the Seagull framework and Paypal.

On Friday 20th July I finally deployed a site which we as a team have been working on for a number of months. Working on the project has been a huge learning curve and has taken way longer than ever expected. The site which I am talking about is http://bd4d.com, which stands for By Designers 4 Designers is built using the seagull php framework with the new cms module

The review is broken up into two key sections: General Comments (Media Temple install, useful plugins, paypal) and Site Features (showcase, events, job board).

Version 0.6.1 of the Seagull framework was released last week, download it here. There's been a gap of 4 months since the last release due to the main devs being busy with contracts, nevertheless quite a few important fixes and improvements have been added to the project.

Some of the improvements included in this release are:

• errors encountered in production mode are handled more gracefully
• added possibility of passing arbitrary args to CLI requests
• the comment module enhanced with Akismet integration and captcha
• the library cache can now be controlled using the standard Config gui
• many PEAR and translation updates

On the PHPHacks.com site today, there's a brief overview of some of the more popular PHP frameworks offered to date, including the Zend Framwork, CakePHP, and Symfony.

New frameworks are being released almost every other day in the PHP community. With over 40 frameworks available it's difficult to decide which framework works best for you, especially as each framework offers different functionality.

There's ten on their list, including the ones mentioned before and others like eZ Compontents, CodeIgniter, PHP on Trax, and the Seagull Framework. For each of them, they list out three to four bits of information about features/bundled modules/unique functionality/etc. It's some pretty good information, but I wish they'd also included one other thing for all of the frameworks - links to their homepages.

On PHPKitchen, there's a new note about the release of the latest stable version of the popular Seagull Framework, version 0.6.0.

After 3 release candidates stable version 0.6.0 of the Seagull framework was released last week, download it here. Blame it on the heat wave this summer in the UK, we broke our "1 release per month" mantra for the first time in 3 years, but I think the results were worth waiting for.

There's information included about how to install (minimal and developer versions) as well as some of the improvements made, including:

• automated module installation for admin users, and improvements to the module generator wizard
• mproved wizard functionality based on PEAR's HTML_QuickForm_Controller (Malaney J. Hill)
• nice CAPTCHA component (Steven Stremciuc)

You can get complete information on the framework on its site and grab the download here.
