Have a look at symfony (www.symfony-project.com).

It looks pretty good, I've been reading up on it recently. It includes the
script.aculo.us javascript library (http://script.aculo.us/). It's also
been written to work well with other stuff, like Subversion/CVS, phpdoc,
HTML Tidy. Internally, it uses Propel (object-relational mapping) and
Mojavi (MVC model) and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL or any other database
that there is a Creole driver for. Plus, there's a couple of cool videos on
the website demonstrating how quickly you can develop a web app!

The only downside I can see is that it requires PHP5, but that's probably
the way forward anyway...
