The community matters. PHP had a hard life growing up in the early web. Googling for answers in php will often promote bad programming practices, like putting all your code in one file. The ruby and python communities are a bit more interested in code maintainability, at least historically through my own googling around. Learn the frameworks in the ruby or python communities and then come back to php with fresh insight if you really want to go the php route. My two cents. Hopefully this won't turn into a flame war. |

OOP, strict php 5, mvc, with a some nice ORM inspired by active record. If you are looking for super easy docs to get you started, checkout the http://codeigniter.com to get you started (kohana is/was forked from CI)
p.s. kohana 3 is the newest version which you can get from github, it's a lot different from 2.x and contains a database mapper called "sprig" i believe. It's supposed to be django-esque but I'm not familiar with django to say anything about that ... only check it out!
Also if you want to go the ruby route, of course there's ROR but do take a second to look into sinatra, it's SUPER easy. it's simplicity is thus - beautiful.
