PHP laravel framework

Is there anyone who have tried the Laravel framework, is it worth starting to study it?

Given your questions to date, I have to write no. Others should check out https://www.daniweb.com/members/1218680/nextsmm/posts

I think it's time for you to focus on what really matters to you. As it stands you are all over the map.

Can you share what's going on to cause such a wide range of topics?

I've heard very good things about Laravel, and I believe it's currently considered the best PHP framework out there.

However, I haven't used it myself. I wrote DaniWeb in CodeIgniter.

What Is Laravel Used for? Laravel is primarily used for building custom web apps using PHP. It's a web framework that handles many things that are annoying to build yourself, such as routing, templating HTML, and authentication.17-Sep-2020

Sorry, bit late with reply. Laravel used to be really lightweight, easy to set up and go. It's still a great product but as it's continued to develop, so the learning curve has increased. If you're looking to develop an MVC, then it has some great positives with regard to handling middleware, authentication, automatically creating templates for controllers, views etc from the artisan command. Seeding database tables. It uses fluent and eloquent. Other lightweight frameworks exist: Laravel Lumen (https://lumen.laravel.com/); Codeigniter, Yii, CakePHP.

Nearly every comparison site puts Laravel at the top, but that does not mean its the most user-friendly. If you're new to a MVC-type set up then you may find Yii or Codeigniter easier to start with. I've used all the ones listed at some point over the last 15 years. "Horses for Courses".
