Which framework is better?

go go gagdet thread necromancy.

Laravel for me,all new projects are on it now and migrated some previous CodeIgniter.

I don't really know how to explain it. I know Laravel very well and I know XenForo like the back of my hand so I have no trouble making them work together. Laravel powers to main website but grabs XenForo here and there. And XenForo will work by itself just with a theme/style that links back. I will also be stripping out all the bloat and uneeded things in XenForo, it will basically handle just forums - the rest of the site does everything else (signup, profile pages, login, account management etc).

@Robbo - How do you manage the auth between the Forum and the framework ?

I don't really do this anymore. I simply don't use XenForo. If I need forums I use discourse. However my add-ons will all be using laravel components soon.

However if you wanted laravel to work with XenForo users/auth you would have Laravel run the XenForo auth check (look at Laravel's login controllers) and then run in Laravel Auth::login($userModel) instead of doing Auth::attempt.

I would go with Laravel is modern & you can do all with Laravel but if you want to use a simple framework i would choose CodeIgniter.

CodeIgniter is massively outdated, don't even consider it. If you want light, look at Silex or another "micro" framework.

Everytime I look at Silex, it reminds me of a small routing class I wrote.

Silex and Slim take similar approaches and are mostly intended to be used to build APIs very quickly - hence the focus on simple to use routing Silex has the advantage of Symfony components being behind it.

Laravel is the future. It's easy to understand and Eloquent ORM is awesome.
