Mobile PHP/HTML5 Framework for Dynamic Content

Hi, I am looking to build an app which will contain mainly html content from a mobile website. The content will be dyanmic, probably stored in a mysql database so it will be updated on a regular basis. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good framework to use? My preference would be to use php since its something I am familiar with. Thanks in advance. Chris

Hi Chris...dunno much about WordPress but I do know that lots and lots of mobile sites look very very good 'mobilized' from WordPress. Probably a theme or a plugin or something? Could be worth checking out.

Thanks for the reply, was looking at avoiding the likes of Wordpress, Joomla etc and building from scratch so I can fully customize everything and then also use similar code for other apps I would like to build for existing sites I help with. I've had a look at Sencha Touch but not sure if its a bit too much. It looks very good but looks like it would involve a lot of coding on both javascript and php side.

Found a php package which uses jquerymobile -> www.jqmphp.com this looks impressive from the demo. This looks good also - http://devgrow.com/jquery-mobile-php-mvc-framework/ The only thing is both do not look like they have been updated since they were built. Hopefully I will get some time later to try them. Just want to find the right tool for the job and to compliment BT before I start building.
