    You're running a site about something you know nothing about? :confused:

    Cake = Piece of Cake
    Zend = High quality
    Drupal = Perfect, if you learn how to master it

    Does this help?

    EDIT: Yes, they can be hard to define...
    ...Many people call Drupal a CMS, but it is really an excellent PHP framework. :)

    Framework are softwares that help the programmer easy coding.You will get almost all functions from Zend.

    Drupal is a CMS I think.
    Why gemini181 call it as framework ?

    what's the php framework

    A collection of PHP classes, and modules which make it easier to develop programs.


    what's a good one

    There are dozens ranging from basic to very complex.
    Your questions can best be answered if you experiment yourself with different frameworks. :)

    Here is something I might tackle, but haven't done, yet...

    Integrating Zend Framework and Doctrine
    This article will guide you through the steps needed to set up a project using both the Zend Framework and Doctrine.

    I hope this helps.

    a framework should take care of several base tasks easilly for you.

    I dont use a php framework, dont even know many, but in this thread smarty and adodb haven't been mentioned yet.
    for templating: http://www.smarty.net/
    for database abstraction (could also be called a mere library) http://adodb.sourceforge.net/

    I suspect that a lot of developers simply put many more tested libraries together, put their own code in modular resuable blocks too, and end up with a framework of their own that's suited to their task.
