Makes sense. It's just that, coming from the world of dedicated apps,
writing web apps in raw PHP seems very tedious, so I was wondering if
some tools were available to take care of the repetitious parts like
CRUD, validating input, authentication, etc.

What I'll do, is build a prototype in PHP with a framework, then a
prototype with an application server (Django or RoR), and see how it
goes.

Thanks everyone for the input.
