Last time i took a look at ZF it was a very little bit of framework with
a lot of class library. Frameworks offer a basic structure to your
application, sort of an environment your application lives in. Your
application must 'fit in', otherwise it won't work. Class libraries just
offer classes and leave it to the application programmer how to use
them. The last is more flexible of course, but leaves a lot more work to
the application developer.
The only framework part i found in ZF is an MVC framework. It did no
scaffolding. Scaffolding is one of the features the Ruby on Rails hype
was based on. It automates a part of application development. For more
info see Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaffold_%28programming%29
Nowadays several plugins are available that substantially extend the
native scaffolding of Rails. For more info see "Turbocharge Ruby on
Rails with ActiveScaffold" on IBM Developerworks,
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/l-activescaffold/index.html
Greetings,

PhpPeanuts has been designed for extended scaffolding right from the
start and has accumulated 4 years of experience with it. You don't need
to wait for it to be ported to PHP, you can download it right now.
