I asked a similar question a while ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1697995 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1697995 Going off the suggestions there, I decided to use the ZEND framework and I've been using the following book: http://amzn.com/1430218797 http://amzn.com/1430218797 If you want to build a CMS project, I would highly recommend this book. The examples and code are really easy to follow. Good luck and feel free to email me if you have any questions! (Note: I did have some RoR experience, but I was completely new to PHP) EDIT: Curious to know - how does HN feel about starting with the ZEND framework?
