I have looked at various PHP applications and the good ones seem to be seagull, php-nuke, and binary cloud, with seagull being the best one. Anyone have any other good examples or think other wise of the ones mentioned?

I can't tell whether you are looking for a framework or a CMS with a that list. For frameworks maybe Prado, Symphony or Zend? For CMSs Drupal, Joomla or Typo2?

I was just looking for any application which is a good display of PHP design and architecture. Thanks for the examples. Speaking of which, what is the difference between a CMS and a framework? Both seem pretty similiar to me.

A CMS can be built from a framework.
A CMS is often a complete suite of end level ready parts. A framework is most often only the skeleton or scaffolding for a developer to build upon to create an end level product.

So a framework is basically a group of classes? What are the advantages of using a framework over not using a framework?

Yes, they are often a group of classes. Basically, it gives you a code base to work from that you'd otherwise likely need to create. Such as a emailing class, database interfacing class, input parsing, output control, etc.

a framework is exactly what it sais.. its a frame.
Think of a house frame.. you can build up your house from the foundation from that frame whatever your application is
