Thank you very much for your input, that is all really helpful information! I'd love to hear what some more people have to say on the subject.

The web development team I work for is starting to get projects with more in-depth PHP requirements, and it's becoming apparent that we will soon be able to benefit from using a PHP framework to speed up the development process. We know that the various frameworks like Zend, CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Ruby on Rails, etc. each have their own strengths and weaknesses, so we're trying to determine which one will fit our company the best. Here's some information that will help aid in making this decision: - We mostly serve small, local businesses - We do a lot more work with content management and simple data retrieval than big web applications - We're more interested in increasing development speed than being able to build the ultimate web app - We'll need a framework with strong support and lots of documentation and tutorials - The framework should be something that's future proof, so we don't learn a framework that goes down the tubes next year I know beggars can't be choosers, and I really appreciate any help we get, but I'd prefer if you could specify why you would suggest a particular framework. A response like "CakePHP is the best. The end." won't do us any good, we need to make sure we're picking the one that's best for our company, not the one that just happens to be popular at the time. Thank you very much for helping us in this important decision for our company!
