Best way to do this?

    I need to make a simple site where users can upload files into different categories, plus a couple of text fields for descriptions, and then people can download them.

    In the past I would have done this with pure PHP, but since I discovered frameworks I'm sure there's an easier way!

    I started looking in to Drupal but I think I'm way over my head. I was thinking about using the PHP PEAR modules but I suspect it could be simpler still...

    Suggestions?

    Ruby on Rails ? OI haven't tried it myself so you will need to read up on it and see if it's for you. Another widely popular framework and well supported by hosting service providers.

    Did you look at the Cake PHP framework?

    No real point in learning RoR if all you're doing is simple form/db interactions.
    In saying that though, I don't know anything about Cake other than it's a framework for PHP and that you should never try to combine Cakes and jumpers. They just don't mix.

    Why waste time searching for and then trying to get our head around a framework when it's pretty simple to do in plain PHP.
