title: Single Page Application - Should I use MVC Framework on the server side?
body: <p>I'm developing a SPA application and I can't decide, whether to use server-side MVC framework or not. </p>
  
  <p>I have chosen AngularJS as the client-side framework. I was thinking I could use Symfony 2 on the server side, but I also considered using pure OOP oriented PHP. Something like this - database class, model classes (User, UserDbManager, ...). I would use something like Slim to create the REST API.</p>
  
  <p>It seems counterproductive to basically write the same code twice, once on the client side and once on the server side, if I could just use the server to serve the data from the database.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone had done similar decision, I'd be happy, if you'd share your thoughts and tips about it.</p>
