Yo may consider this one too - QPHP. It is ASP.NET like, object oriented, event driven, component based, ajax support, i18n support, highly customizable.

Tonic has a lot of extremely good ideas in it, and deserves much more buzz than it gets IMO!

If you’d like to try out yet another Framework in PHP, you can take a look at PHPWebBuilder. It supports object relational mapping, a component-based MVC, and transparent AJAX support.

Let me post some links to PHP5 hostings.
I really do not understand you guys why do you look in USA for web hosting if there are plenty of excellent web hosting companies in East Europe like Czech Republic, Slovak Republic.
My client is from Holland and he has a hosting at A2 Hosting in USA (actually they were the first to offer PHP5 hosting). The problem with almost all USA web hosting companies is that their server is extremely slow, or expensive.
A2 Hosting for example all the time restarts its servers, at leat I believe. It happened several times that the web site was down for a few minutes.

So let me reveal a secret. You will find much better web hosting companies, many times cheaper, in Europe than in USA. You west European guys should learn to trust the new EU members.

1&1 and possibly other hosting companies support php4 normally and php5 if you use the php5 extension or an .htaccess file. Its easy to set up on apache, maybe your host already does.

Harry and Arnaud, could you elaborate on what the issue is with “Adds slashes to POST and COOKIE data in the event get_magic_quotes_gpc is disabled.”

The creator of Code Igniter has this to say about it:

CodeIgniter looks the most promising to me since it’s so much lighter weight than the others (Symfony looks incredibly heavy to me and dependent on at least three other projects).

I think we actually have it pretty good in the PHP world vs. .net where we have different framework options including not using a framework at all.

Just thought I should point out Drupal as another great alternative. Open source (GPL), works with PHP 4 and 5, highly modular and extensible. Although Drupal is actually a CMS, and is called a CMS or a community blogging tool by most people, it actually has a very clean separation between its core system, and its various modules that are responsible for content management.

The core system of Drupal is increasingly coming to be known as the “Drupal framework”, because it is possible to disable all of Drupal’s application-specific features, and to build a custom app on top of its extremely light core. Development is also moving towards making the core even lighter, and there is much talk of releasing the app-specific modules only in targeted distributions, rather than in the base system.
