BPM frameworks in PHP?

Question

Do we have any BPM frameworks developed in PHP?

I did a Google and found some old (2005) entires which talk about starting such a project. But I don't see any solid framework out and running. So, I was just curious.. do we have any?

If not, why haven't the community yet developed one? Zend framework is a leading PHP framework, why haven't they started developing such a component?

Answer 1

You should check EzerPHP out. Very promising. code.google.com/p/ezerphp/

Answer 2

We have developed a new BPM framework from the ground using PHP called Process Companion. It is based on the BPMN 2.0 standard. Get more information at http://www.processcompanion.com

Answer 3

Most of the relevant BPMN 2.0 based Open Source Process Engines are written in Java (e.g. Activiti, Camunda, jBPM, Bonita). If you would like to integrate such an Engine into your PHP-Application, you could use the REST-APIs of those Engines. With this approach, you could use proven BPM-Engines within your PHP application. In addition, you have benefits like active communities, stable code etc.

Could this be an adequate alternative for your usecase?
