    You can try

    - CakePHP
    - Zend Framework
    - Symfony Project

    All 3 of those are good... I'd recommend Cake to start with, or if you're looking for some fun build your own (ok, that might not be everyones idea of fun ;) )

    Happy coding!

    I will also recommend CakePHP to start with, and you can also check CodeIgniter, other very powerful php framework..

    Good luck

    Zend Framework is excellent and is really geared more towards enterprise. So it makes assumptions you know things about MVC and such. But if you're willing to read some tutorials I'm sure it should not be to difficult to pick up.

    The others are great to but with Zend being really the commercial side of PHP I feel a lote more confident in it's development and support continuing as long as PHP is around.

    KohanaPHP is an interesting project also. It's a fork of CodeIgniter.

    l"ll check it out I'm just curious what is the controller part of MVC would the controller be considered the code or would that be the model or view?

    Controller is what handles a lot of the logic for a specific page. It also links the model the view up.

    The model is really a link back to a dataset. To make things simple if you have a table admins then the model would be admin.

    The view is basically the template.
