Framework suggestion

Hi! I'm a little bit lost when deciding what to use to develop a new web project.

What i'm supposed to create is something like that: http://resources.maxwellrender.com/news_scripts.php?t=1

A library of objects where we have users that own these objects. If i were i user, i could download, search, post and valutate objects.

So we've got users and objects (with properties). I also want to use AJAX (in order to avoid refreshing all the page).

Question is: which framework suits me?

I'd apreciate any suggestion. Thank you very muchos.

The problem is that only you can answer "which framework suits me?" They are all free to download. I often suggest that you download a few popular ones and try to install them and glance at the code. You will find, in a very short time, the ones that you either cannot install or understand. Hopefully there will be one left that works for you. Any of the popular frameworks will work for this project.

Thank You Christopher! I'm using codeigniter, but i think this project demands more graphical features (Igniter doesn't have AJAX although there's a helper around). I'll taste the popular ones (Zend, CakePHP, Symfony, Kohana and Yii).

I don't use CI anymore, but you can certainly create integrate Ajax into your apps - whether there are specific helpers or not, or how good they are, who knows.

Yes, I don't think you will find much more Ajax support -- unless you want the framework to generate the Javascript code for you. If you are writing you own Javascript then they are all generally the same.
