Answer 1

You can just a framework for a solid base and the create those things as models. I think most frameworks offer something for authentication don't know about the rest, but as I said, use a framework for base and then build what you want.

Answer 2

I think the most solid php framework "base" you can use is ZEND. Then, as already said, you can easily add features/plugins! :)

Answer 3

The most happening future proof, nimble framework in php at the moment I believe in Lithium checkout it out here

I highly recommend it.

Answer 4

For small projects: http://alloyframework.org/

For medium / experimental: gotta be http://li3.me/

for large projects: Zend - just so flexible. CAVEAT - Zend Form Decorators are an utter horror. Sorry guys...
