Top 23 PHP Framework Projects
- Project mention: Battling Laravel's Sneaky DELETEs: How I Got ORDER BY and LIMIT to Play Nice with Joins | dev.to | 2025-10-12
I fired up a PR #57138 overriding compileDeleteWithJoins in MySqlGrammar. Now? Laravel spits out the full SQL-JOINs, ORDER BY, LIMIT and all. Let the database (MySQL, MariaDB, or even Vitess) decide if it's happy. On vanilla MySQL? You'll get a crisp QueryException. Check mysql docs for more info (Mysql: Multi-Table Deletes). On PlanetScale or Vitess? It just works, thanks to their query-rewriting magic.

Slim Framework
Slim is a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs. (by slimphp)
A good example of inheritance is the Logger class under the Slim namespace. It extends an abstract class called AbstractLogger, which in turn implements the LoggerInterface from the PSR-3 standard. Abstract classes in PHP cannot be instantiated directly, so this setup provides a reusable foundation for custom logging logic while adhering to a standardized interface.
-
Pest
Pest is an elegant PHP testing Framework with a focus on simplicity, meticulously designed to bring back the joy of testing in PHP.
Laravel also has out-of-the-box testing tools like Pest and PHPUnit and functionalities to enable expressive testing. It also supports executing automated testing sessions that are more precise than manual ones.
