title: PHP Framework: Ebay Like Site
body: <p>I am going to be builiding a site like ebay - with all the features of ebay. Please note my payment method is limited to paypal.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>What would be the best PHP framework
    to use to build this quickly,
    efficiently and with the smallest
    learning curve?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have narrowed down to <strong>CodeIgniter</strong> as the major contender for this project - but having looked through the docs I couldn't find a library or class that I can use with paypal - is the same for all frameworks- surley not?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Zend</strong> framework - I considered this but although its documentation is very good, hardly any video tutorials - other frameworks seem to have lots of these especially with normal developers creating screencasts - where is the Zend community!</p>
  
  <p><strong>CakePHP</strong> - Having read the stackoverflow threads, I gathered this is a slow framework, giving  developers little control as it seems to be a CMS backbone rather than a framework - agree? It was also said cakePHP and Zend have a steeper learning curve than CodeIgnitor.</p>
  
  <p>I have start my short-listing again and I would appreciate any help with this.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks all</p>
