I hope responding to everyone in one email won't be considered rude, but it seemed to be easier than making everyone open half a dozen emails.
Ajai - Thanks for the great info on frameworks (esp. the OOP part) and for the advice on what to look for. Guilherme - CRUD, ORM, MVC... so many terms & concepts I need to learn! Thanks for the specific info on Symfony & Zend and which situations they're best for. Paul - Excellent advice and article. I've bookmarked you site and some of the other articles you linked to. Thanks! Mitch - Thanks for the heads-up on Silverstripe, but even more so for the definitions of glue & stack frameworks--that was a HUGE help. Yitzchak - Thanks for adding your experiences. I think Ajai was right--getting a basic understanding of OOP will probably help me figure out what will work best for both me & my future projects. Rob - I ran across mention of Kohana when googling for info on CodeIgniter, and both sound like things that might work well for me. Thanks for sharing what you found in your search for a framework--it's really helpful to hear other people's experiences. Well, it looks like I've got some new homework to do. Thanks again to all of you for your patient advice. You're the best!
