Choosing between Laravel and plain PHP depends on your project scope and timeline.
Plain PHP
- Lightweight and fast to deploy on shared hosting
- Ideal for simple CRUD applications
- Lower learning curve for beginners
- Many ArpaNeuro projects use PHP + MySQL
Laravel
- MVC architecture and built-in security
- Eloquent ORM for database operations
- Better for scalable, complex applications
- Artisan CLI speeds up development
Our Recommendation
For FYP and small business projects, PHP is excellent. For enterprise SaaS and complex ERP systems, Laravel is the better choice. ArpaNeuro offers source code in both stacks.
