The best php basic framework

Question

I'm wondering if there's any framework that I could use for basic website with cms features.

Some features that I was looking for in the framework is,

• basic cms editing features,
• possibly easy way of constructing web forms, (contact us, feedback, subscription)
• pretty url with mod-rewrite.

May be I'm asking too much.

Answer 1

WordPress would certainly give you everything you're asking for. It's PHP, has quite advanced editing features, is trivial to construct forms in, and can output archives in any URL format you like. It also has a robust feature set that's easily extensible through plugins. Check it out here.

Additionally, if you're just looking for a CMS in general and the PHP aspect isn't terribly important, you might consider Movable Type. It's extraordinarily expressive and powerful and is easy to learn.

Answer 2

Drupal and Joomla are both decent php based cms systems.

Answer 3

PHP basic Frameworks, not full featured Content Management Systems, I would recommend:

CodeIgniter
KohanaPHP
CakePHP
