Limb PHP Web Application Framework

Limb is an OpenSource(LGPL) PHP framework aimed for rapid web application development. The latest version of framework is Limb3 which consists of many reusable components distributed as packages on Limb3 PEAR channel.

Here is the list of the most notable packages at the moment:

core: the base package which provides lazy loading of PHP code
classkit: advanced OO tools(automatic decorators generators, transparent object proxies, etc)
toolkit: dependency injection tools (Dynamic Service Locator pattern implementation)
filter_chain: InterceptingFilter design pattern implementation
wact: forked and extended version of the powerful template WACT subsystem (forked from latest CVS version)
web_app: FrontController and MVC patterns implementation.
active_record: ActiveRecord pattern implementation(Rails alike flavor, http://rubyonrails.com/)
dbal: Database Abstraction Layer which supports MySql, PostreSQL, Oracle, SQLite at the moment (originally forked from WACT)
tests_runner: unit testing tools built around excellent SimpleTest library(http://simpletest.org). tests_runners dramatically simplifies tests execution

Developers of Limb are committed proponents of beautiful and easy-to-maintain code that simply works. That is why they develop and constantly refactor Limb code in a test driven manner.
