I'm currently working on a medium-sized bespoke PHP application (tens of
thousands of lines of code) which has been built up over 7+ years. At
some point I'd like to move this over to a framework, mainly so that
things like changes to the models (e.g. a user) don't have to be made in
half a dozen places (database, form template, PHP processing, client
side validation etc.). I'd also like things like CSRF protection to be
built-in instead of having to remember to add them to every form.
However, I've noticed that most of the PHP frameworks seem to assume
that you will use them exclusively and do everything the way they want.
This is great for new projects, or existing applications which can be
ported in one go, but not so much for larger applications where a
gradual transition is needed.
Is there a good framework out there which caters for this scenario? I'm
sure I'm not the only developer in this position. :-)
Thanks
Paul
