Zend Framework (ZF) is an open  source, object oriented web application framework  for developing web applications and services with PHP 5 and licensed under the  New BSD License. 

What is the Zend Framework, exactly?

 The Zend Framework:

• Is based on PHP
• Is object-oriented
• Has open source contributors
• Uses the MVC paradigm
• Has contributors who take responsibility for the fact that their code is not the intellectual property of someone else

The component structure of Zend Framework is somewhat unique; each component is designed with few dependencies on other components. Its Model View Controller (MVC) implementation supports layouts and PHP-based templates by default. Zend Framework has support for multiple database systems including MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL. This loosely coupled architecture allows developers to use components individually and calls as a “use-at-will” design.

Zend may be the choice for you. if you need a code base to build from on an ongoing basis ..

Advantages of using Zend Framework:
• Completely Object Oriented
• Use-at-will architecture with loosely coupled components and minimal interdependencies
• Extremely extensible by providing fluent interfaces and abstract classes
• Flexible caching sub-system with support for many types of backends, such as memory  or a file system.
• Rich library for frequent usage in applications
• Future expansion scopes
