I am currently working on converting a ColdFusion website, using Fusebox framework, to PHP. The site contains like 20,000 lines of ColdFusion code. My dilemma is, should I switch to Fusebox-PHP (as it will be easier to migrate the project layout) or a robust and popular framework like Symfony or Zend.
Can anyone suggest a few points in favor or against the three options?
Fusebox has been abandoned for a variety of issues (legal issues amongst them iirc). As long as you are rewriting it into PHP you might as well switch to a more current framework. Sure, you will have to learn how to do the same things a new way, but on the bright side you will have gained experience with a popular framework!
Ultimately Fusebox is dead and it would be unwise to use it (unless you were doing something turn-key like just migrating to Railo)
