You might want to check out this site: http://www.symfony-project.com. I'm
working my way through the very extensive tutorial "askeet in 24 days" and
finding it a great experience. One of the stand-out features of this
framework is the absolutely excellent and extensive documentation. My own
experience is limited but for me a lot of frameworks seem to fall down in
this area and it just too hard a slog to become productive.
To answer your query about scaffolding, here is the relevant url:
http://www.symfony-project.com/book/trunk/generator. Good luck with finding
a productive and enjoyable web framework.
Regards,
Ian
