I'm an intermediate PHP developer with no experience building a large scale web application in this language (though I have in others, mainly Rails)...say I wanted to build a social networking site using PHP and MYSQL (preferably) with all the web 2.0 trimmings.
Where should I start? What sort of frameworks should I be looking at? Any up to date modern books that would outline something like this? Really anything for building a modern web app in PHP.

Facebook uses MySQL, but primarily as a key-value persistent storage, moving joins and logic onto the web servers since optimizations are easier to perform there (on the “other side” of the Memcached layer).
With a well considered code-base and so many great features to build upon, it is no wonder that Laravel is a popular way to create social media networks and rich, dynamic applications.
Ryan, there is a php framework called Elgg which is a php framework directed at social networking based applications.
