PHP is complete crap and a disaster as a programming language. Java is

Coincidentally, the latest Zend newsletter just showed up - turns out they
have a *BSD Licensed* PHP Framework that looks promising:
http://framework.zend.com/
For those unfamiliar with the term 'framework', it provides a structure
that greatly simplifies development by minimizing configuration problems,
automatically integrating a database, and providing testing tools (I know,
what's that!).
Might be worth checking out - I am.
