Kohana is an elegant, object-oriented HMVC web framework for PHP 5, built as a community fork of CodeIgniter. This repository is the basic application skeleton with the official modules included.
Use cases
- build a php web application with an hmvc framework
- maintain a legacy kohana 3.3 codebase
- start a lightweight modular php5 project
- use kohana official modules like orm and userguide
- migrate an old codeigniter app to kohana
When to choose
- you are maintaining or extending an existing Kohana application
- you need a small, fast PHP5 HMVC framework for a legacy environment
When to avoid
- you are starting a new PHP project - the framework is deprecated since 2016
- you need modern PHP 7/8 support, security updates, or an active community
- you want a framework with a large ecosystem of maintained packages
