I haven't used PHP in almost a decade, but I've been super impressed with what I've seen in the most recent few versions. Looks really cool, it's gotten me tempted to dust it off again at some point

I've been working professionally with PHP for the last decade or so, and the last few years have been so good. The changes are very welcomed, and the performance improvements are amazing in general.

The codebases that you can create nowadays are light years away from what you would see 10 years ago. And the frameworks have improved alongside too.

It has been a decade for me too, if not more. What's your favorite framework/tools/tips? I'd love to get back into it.

Pick one framework between Symfony and Laravel and follow the docs.

Maybe read https://stitcher.io posts about the new features since 8.0 to have a grasp of the language changes.

What would you recommend? Looking for a more robust and streamlined solution to build small(er) pages...

Not OP but I'd personally recommend Laravel over Symfony if you're just getting back into it. Fundimentally they are very similar, but Laravel's less of a learning curve and these days has a significantly larger community.

There's resources like laracasts which take you through from the basics to highly complex concepts without it feeling like you're being lectured.

One benefit of Laravel is that under the hood it shares a lot of Symfonys core components so should you decide to switch at some point it's not too much of a learning curve.

Thanks, I guess I'll look into Laravel then.
