Can anyone recommend an open source CMS (or possibly commercial if

I think you will run into problems as most popular CMS creators, Open
Source or Commercial, are unwilling to tell the majority of their
users(PHP version 4) that they won't provide a product for them - which
is why their popular.
I'd suggest checking out the goPHP5 website,
http://www.gophp5.org/projects and see if any CMS's listed there have
made the switch to pure PHP5.
Though I must say I think that will counter the goal of your client, as
I'm assuming they want an open source or commercial CMS so that they are
not locked into a single programmer for making changes.
Sure, your code is clean and wonderful and works exactly the way you
think. But that means any other programmer has to figure out how you
think, wheras if you use an open source application instead they get to
figure out how half a dozen different programmers thought and evolved
over time. Isn't that much better? :-)
(Actually, to be honest I prefer inheriting an open source application
to a single developer's best practices because at least with open
source, there is background on how things are done outside the
developers head. But there is much to be said for following your own
pattern than using someone else's)
