PRADO is a component-based and event-driven programming framework for
developing Web applications in PHP 5. Because it is component-based,
you write object-oriented code that enjoys the maximum reusability; and
because it is event-driven, you have better focus on responding to user
interactions. With the rich set of components provided in PRADO, you
can rapidly compose Web pages and applications that are highly
interactive. Most importantly, PRADO does not prevent you from using
your favorite class libraries, such as PEAR, AdoDB, etc. ... read more
