Furthermore, you can and probably will make a small typo or another coding mistake, affecting your whole code. You won&#8217;t worry about errors when using a PHP framework, since the code was tested and verified before being added<\/span> to the used libraries. Furthermore, it will save you time and energy, since without it,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you will still have to write the same code that&#8217;s already been provided.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the world&#8217;s most popular programming language, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/495026\/programming-language-breakdown-by-industry\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45.4% (in 2021<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) of people using it, PHP has a wide variety of frameworks to choose from. Having said that, it&#8217;s not hard to test many of them until you discover that only a few are the real deal. Among them, Laravel and Symfony are, without a doubt, the best ones. So today, we will compare these head-to-head!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-brief-introduction\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Brief_Introduction\"><\/span>A Brief Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-introducing-symfony\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introducing Symfony<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symfony is an open-source, free-to-use PHP web development application framework, which was first introduced in late 2005. The platform gained some popularity, but what really made it a hit was the release of the 2.0 version in 2011. Over 32,000 websites use Symfony as their foundation. The framework was used to build some notable governmental websites in France, including the Cultural Ministry&#8217;s web portal. Furthermore, the Interpol website was also created using this framework.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symfony has one major advantage over other frameworks &#8211; you can use any Symfony component outside the framework, and it will still do a tremendous job. This makes working with Symfony much more beneficial, and you can also use it in other projects. This framework can be of help when building e-commerce websites, content management systems, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/mailtrap.io\/blog\/send-emails-in-symfony\/\">sending emails via Symfony<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-introducing-laravel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introducing Laravel<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like with Symfony, what truly made Laravel a PHP framework superstar was version 4.0, <\/span>introduced in 2013. This modification was a complete rewrite of the framework that decoupled its functionality<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into separate components. These components are then managed with Composer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What really makes Laravel a top PHP framework is the syntax&#8217;s simplicity, which is extremely easy to learn, write, read, and maintain. Over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/webtechsurvey.com\/technology\/laravel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">387,000 websites use Laravel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including Weebly, Epik, Snapwidget, and others. Most users are in the US, but the framework is used worldwide. A major recognition came in 2016 when Laravel was named the most popular framework of the year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many similarities between the two frameworks, but what really counts are the differences. Let&#8217;s review these!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-installation-process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installation_Process\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Installation Process<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the installation procedure, both Symfony and Laravel are fairly straightforward. However, you will need to install a dependency manager beforehand, and since both frameworks work with Composer, we&#8217;d suggest using it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Symfony <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offers an alternative installation method by installing a new binary in your system. This will give you several advantages and nifty commands that can help you greatly, especially when a dependency is missing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Laravel <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">also supports different installation methods, but there aren&#8217;t any advantages to them. In fact, sticking to the default composer method is your best option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Winner:<\/b> <b>Symfony<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lthough both are pretty straightforward, Symfony&#8217;s additional advantages can&#8217;t be overlooked.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-configuration\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Configuration\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Configuration<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to configuration, <\/span><b>Laravel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is much easier to use. The framework uses the default PHP syntax. It has .env files as a base, and the application configuration is saved as a .php file. Laravel separates the basic and the special configurations, making the use more organized and easier.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Symphony&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> configuration is entirely different and much more complicated at first glance. This framework separates the environment configuration and the bundle configuration. The former is stored as .env, where the essential information is held. The latter uses YAML files predominantly. They determine how the website will behave in any environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Winner: Laravel<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symfony&#8217;s configuration is much more complex. Although it allows you to create different files for different environments, the complexity of the YAML syntax and the need to learn it altogether make the familiar PHP syntax of Laravel the better choice.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-templates\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Templates\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Templates<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no significant differences between Symfony&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twig.symfony.com\/\">Twig<\/a> and Laravel&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/laravel.com\/docs\/9.x\/blade\">Blade<\/a> templating engines. The latter is typically considered to be easier to use, but syntax aside, there are no major differences in functionality, and both have fans.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both allow the usage of &#8220;for&#8221; loops and &#8220;if&#8221; statements, work fast, and generate their templates into PHP code. Most importantly, they are great at preventing XSS attacks due to escaping output by default.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some minor differences, though. <\/span><b>Symfony&#8217;s Twig <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allows users to filter, <\/span><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">whereas with\u00a0<strong>Laravel&#8217;s Blade,\u00a0<\/strong>you can add PHP code directly\u00a0<\/span>to your templates. Furthermore, Blade makes it simpler to extend functionality<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Winner: Tie<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many consider Laravel&#8217;s engine to be more user-friendly, the differences between Twig and Blade are way too small to claim that either one is better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-coding-style\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coding_Style\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coding Style<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The coding style is another difference between the two frameworks. <\/span><b>Symphony <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is entirely based on coupled classes created by dependency injection<\/span>. This makes the entire process of long-term maintenance and testing much<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> easier.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Laravel, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on the other hand, automatically scans for dependencies and resolves them, making the dependency configuration redundant. Naturally, this means the whole process is much easier, which is becoming a theme in Laravel&#8217;s use. However, while Laravel is, without a doubt, easier to use in this case, it may lead to issues with maintenance and testing in the long run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Winner: Symfony<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The long-term solution is always better than the easier short-term one.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-orm\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ORM\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ORM<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The object-relational mapping (ORM) feature is essential to both frameworks, and although they differ, their main objective remains the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Symfony<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> integrates a third-party ORM<\/span><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doctrine-project.org\/projects\/orm.html\" target=\"_blank\">Doctrine<\/a>, while\u00a0<strong>Laravel\u00a0<\/strong>uses its own ORM<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <a href=\"https:\/\/laravel.com\/docs\/9.x\/eloquent\">Eloquent<\/a>, to interact with its database. Doctrine entities can be used outside a specific scenario, which gives them greater flexibility. It implements DataMapper patterns, which know nothing about the database, but they can use the data itself. The information about all interactions between the models and the database is stored in a separate layer called the Entity Manager. Thus, this manager does all the operations. One of the most significant advantages of this ORM is its ability to optimize database operations, as processes are queued rather than running simultaneously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Laravel&#8217;s Eloquent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, on the other hand, implements the ActiveRecord pattern, where all models are aware of the database and work directly with it. It allows the ORM to update, create, and delete a record. Furthermore, Eloquent is much more PHP developer-friendly and can be learned much more quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Winner: Symfony<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Eloquent is the easier option, Doctrine offers more valuable features and helps database processes run more smoothly and be better organized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-security\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security is essential in all PHP frameworks, and both Symfony and Laravel are among the top choices. <\/span><b>Symfony<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has one genuinely robust security system, but it&#8217;s a bit complicated to set it up. On the other hand, it&#8217;s pretty sophisticated, with several authentication methods and a well-designed permission model.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Laravel&#8217;s <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">security is less complicated and lacks many of Symphony&#8217;s features. However, for most projects, Laravel&#8217;s basic protection is quite enough, and the easy setup makes it a preferred security model for many.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Winner: Symfony<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">D<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">espite being the more complicated option, Symfony&#8217;s solution has better features and is more tightly secured. This being said, Laravel&#8217;s protection is by no means weak, but it simply can&#8217;t hold a candle against Symfony.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-request-response-lifecycle\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Request-Response_Lifecycle\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request-Response Lifecycle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lifecycle is probably the single most important thing when choosing the right framework for your project. This is the process of converting a request into a response and is essential for your project. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Symfony <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uses a system called Event Dispatcher. It fires different events and event listeners to handle them. Events follow strict steps, and the event listeners follow closely. Typically, the listeners are related to CSRF token validation, security checks, and the entire signing process. The best thing about Event Dispatcher is that you can add functionality by creating custom event listeners and assigning them to the correct event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Laravel <\/b>uses an entirely different approach to converting requests into responses. Middleware, as the term is used, is once again a much easier solution, though with some limitations. A request has to go through different stages, or layers, on its way to the controller. These layers are essentially equivalent to Event Listeners in Symfony and are responsible for security and other features. Once the controller responds<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it has to go through the same layers. Naturally, if you want to add new features, you need to create a new middleware.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Winner: Laravel <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; as with almost everything else, Laravel has a more straightforward approach, making the whole process far less complicated.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-one-is-better\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_One_Is_Better\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which One Is Better?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picking up a winner is not an easy task.
