Stato is a PHP5 OOP framework for web applications development. Of course, there is plenty of PHP frameworks these days, but it was not the case when I started working on Stato back in 2004 ;)

Nevermind, what will you get with Stato ? Classic stuff : MVC, a powerful ORM, and many components and tools :

• mailer
• HTML helpers
• forms building and processing
• RESTful web services
• i18n

Stato draws inspiration from both Rails and Django. For example, its ORM blends Active Record and Queryset patterns.
