I wouldn't recommend Zend (I find it rather resource heavy) - but rather Laravel or Symphony, CodeIgniter is also nice and extremely easy to learn - probably the lowest entry level that I can think of, but 2.0 is taking it's sweet time to come along so that's a huge downside, plus, Ellislab wants to sell the project... Regarding CMS work, I have personally found that Magento is one of the best things to specialise in…

There's a lot of money in Magento because it's so utterly horrible to work with.

Recommend the Flight (http://flightphp.com/learn) framework for creating RESTful APIs in PHP. It is lightweight, flexible, and does routing nicely.

"PHP-elitist" is an oxymoron, right? Like a dumpster-foodie or an instant-coffee aficionado?

Betteridge's law of headlines strikes again!

I for one needed to Google it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines): Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

No, as a full stack web developer, I use node.js so that I don't need to switch between js and php frequently.
