PHP/Zope Guru

Hi folks, first of all I'd like to apologize for crossposting this message. I'm well aware of the fact that this isn't they way it should be done, but I considered this the probably most promising alternative. Enough about this. I want to setup a major database project. It is supposed to cover the administration (entering, changing, deleting) of recordsets, as well als a search engine (resultspace narrowed by several different criteria chosen from a form) ending up in resultlists and detailed views of the recordsets. I started with PHP (LAMP) and then came across Zope. Zope impresses me and I like the simple concept of PHP. There I am now considering the pros and cons ... and then a thought stroke my mind: Why not ask the pros professionals? So I finally decided to create this awful crossposting ... so: Are there any pros who already dealt with a similar matter? Any detailed information on how and *why* one or the other solution rulez would be highly appreciated and helpful, as I have to argue the decision for one or the other system with the initiators of the project. Thanx for reading a lot, hope hearing from u pals soon ... Cheers, Vince ''' ô¿ô -
