Hi, I’ve taken a similar path, from coding everything from the ground up to exploring PHP frameworks and ended up with PhpCake, which I found very useful.

Since then through work I’ve moved into Ruby on rails. And boy am I pleased!

I’ve actually shocked myself with how fast I’ve put together a recent application, compared to PHP and PHPCake. Plus if you familiar with PHP then Ruby on Rails isn’t too difficult to pick up.

Ruby on rails is great for that, though I have to say the amount of support, docs, community for PHP is still much better.

Have you considered trying out Ruby on Rails?

My 2 cents

Thanks for additional framework suggestion, Tom. I never heard of this one prior to your comment.

For those who need handle database on the web, but don’t want to do coding, I recommend Nenest. Nenest lets users to publish database on the web without programming.

I’d also suggest to take a look at the phpthrowdown.com contest which is currently running. There are about 100 teams competing using different frameworks. The result of the competition could prove interesting.
