to create addons

Addons for xf? You need a notepad, a local web server. Learning PHP and learning MySQL - is not wrong either. This is all you need to write addons for xf ... of course you should also get familiar with the xf code.

or did I not understand the problem?

I think it is an older form of the Symfony framework..

I asked which FRAMEWORK. As far as I look through codes of addons it's not PURE PHP. It was like some object oriented thing. I am asking this what framework of PHP I need to learn to make Xenforo Addons.

You don't need to learn a specific framework - in general you should be familiar with PHP, MySQL, JSON, JS/jQuery (optional), and XF code and template syntax.

These links should help.

Perhaps your knowledge of PHP is a little old-fashioned? Object oriented programming has been a core part of PHP for quite a while now.

XenForo is pure PHP and it doesn't use a 3rd party framework, although it does use some libraries found in other frameworks (eg Symfony).
