Fuse Framework
FUSE is a PHP framework created by Jim Keller that uses Model-view-controller architecture along with Object-relational mapping Data Modeling concepts to provide tools for rapid PHP development.
History
FUSE was developed in response to the need for a powerful but simple framework for PHP that included concepts from the increasingly popular MVC framework Ruby on Rails.
