PHP framework and CMS


What is the difference between a PHP framework and a CMS? It just unclear to me what the difference is.


Solution

  • CMS = Content Management System.

    Framework = Collection of tools, source code, methodology and idioms.

    You can build a CMS with a PHP Framework, but you can't build a PHP Framework with a CMS. Also, a CMS doesn't have to be built in PHP, but a PHP framework will be (most often).
