The thesis presents one of the four most popular PHP web frameworks: Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter and CakePHP. These frameworks are compared with each other according to the four criteria, which can help with the selection of a framework. These criteria are size of the community, quality of official support, comprehensibility of framework’s documentation and implementation of functionalities in individual frameworks, which are automatic code generation, routing, object-relational mapping and implementation of template engines. Afterwards the selection of the framework is described, which is then used to develop a web application. Key functionalities of this web application, such as authentication and authorization, are presented and technically described. Finally, the usage of the developed web application is shown and illustrated.
