Thx a bunch Wankyu for sharing you thoughts on PHP vs. Zope. As a matter of fact, I'm playing with PHP + FastTemplate + MySQL, and it looks interesting. I still need more about what Zope would offer in addition to this. To sum up what you wrote: Pro's - Zope makes it easier to separate logic and presentation : honestly, I don't see the difference between PHP scripts outsourcing display to templates and Zope + DTML/ZPT - Python is truly OOP : What is missing in PHP4? Multiple inheritance? Con's - there are a lot more PHP developers than Zope developers, hence more docs and more help in case of need - Zope uses its own DB instead of a filesystem. But then, nobody complains when data are saved in other DBMS's, so why do they complain about ZODB? - ZPT is a bit slow, but maybe as slow as PHP and some templating engines Thx again Fred.
