minPHP is an extremely lightweight, object oriented MVC PHP framework. Its requirements are basic: PHP 5.1, with PDO support (if you want to take advantage of its built in database access layer) - making it very easy to deploy in a wide array of environments. minPHP is a great alternative to CakePHP, CodeIgniter, or Zend Framework for developers who don't want to include unused libraries in their code base. This is especially useful in commercial software development.
