I uses Zend in my project: it does not need MVC, but it uses Zend classes like Zend_Translate or Zend_Validate. I should not create Zend environment for validate few HTTP request params I just need Form and Validators. Zend is more class library then framework. I'm looking the similar framework for PHP 5.3. What can you suggest me?

@Josh the framework question has been answered a gazillion times. If the OP is too lazy to use the search function, then I am too lazy to find a duplicate.Gordon– Gordon2010-08-15 16:38:40 +00:00Commented Aug 15, 2010 at 16:38

Have a look at:
Kohana is an elegant HMVC PHP5 framework that provides a rich set of components for building web applications.
It requires very little configuration, fully supports UTF-8 and i18n, and provides many of the tools that a developer needs within a highly flexible system. The integrated class auto-loading, cascading filesystem, highly consistent API, and easy integration with vendor libraries make it viable for any project, large or small.

I agree that Zend is more like CPAN for Perl, collection of classes with minimum dependencies. If you want to take more advantage of dependencies you need a high-level framework. Preferable with User Interface support.
