Konine Logo

Successor to Koseven and Kohana — PHP 8.4+ HMVC Framework

Actively maintained — stability first, open to enhancements

Project Status: Actively Maintained

Konine is actively maintained for backwards compatibility, security, and PHP version support. Stability for existing applications always comes first, but the project also accepts feature requests and ships requested enhancements when they are built in a backwards-compatible way. If you are evaluating frameworks for a brand-new application, CodeIgniter and Laravel are also well worth a look alongside Konine.
