Kohana: Which alternatives are available?

Since Kohana seems to be very poor documented and my time is valuable, I may want to stick with something that lets me get a web platform faster up and running.

I know it forked from CodeIgniter. I actually like the idea of Kohana, but since the big hole in documentation it seems to be a bad alternative. Well, almost everyone on the Internet complains about it's bad documentation, so I believe it's bad.

So despite of CodeIgniter and Kohana itself, what else is worth looking at that makes life easy and not harder?

This is perhaps the most asked question on SO with regard to PHP.

I would suggest that you read all of the very fine answers to all of the very fine questions that I found with this search: PHP Framework

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but my experience with Kohana has been that its documentation, while lacunary, is quite enough to get you started and that for everything else, a quick glance at the code itself usually tells you what you need to know without too much effort -- it's pretty well-commented, and well-organsied.

I've found development in Kohana to be fairly speedy so, even if you do value your time highly, you may find the initial investment pays off.

I would recommend Zend Framework

  • Easy to learn
  • Well documented
  • MVC
  • Very large, contains everything you may need
