[BNM] PHP Frameworks

[Alastair James]

My recommendation:

For small sites : Kohana (a port of codeigniter, the documentation is
patchy, but its a nice little framework)

For large projects : Zend. It  makes you do quite a lot of work, but
it is probably the most scalable and maintainable PHP framework I have
used.
