The use of MVC frameworks for PHP development is a matter of choice. There are many ways to approach the problem and each one has its own merits. The use of MVC makes it easy to create multiple applications that share a common set of functionality without having to rewrite them from scratch each time you want to add new features, allowing developers to maintain all their applications in one place. MVC is a common architecture for crafting web applications, but it can be applied in many other scenarios as well. In fact, there are several PHP MVC libraries available for you to use in your next project. WP-MVC is the most popular PHP MVC library around. It's also the first one on this list! WP-MVC comes with a lot of features, like routing, templating and more. PHP-MVC is a great alternative to wp-mvc if you're looking for something more lightweight or want to use some features that wp-mvc doesn't have natively (like routing). This library also supports Laravel 5.* out of the box! Zend_MVC is another great alternative if you're looking for something more lightweight or want to use some features that wp-mvc doesn't have natively (like routing). Many developers depend on the following open source PHP MVC libraries
