It kind of reminds me of ASP.NET C# MVC, just glancing at the example page: http://au.php.net/manual/en/yaf.examples.php Not being particularly proficient in PHP, is the 'Class myClass extends baseClass' syntax normal? I've never seen it before.

Syntax yes, code standard, no. Most standards would prescribe:

    class MyClass extends BaseClass

Anyone else see that this looks almost identical to Zend Framework?

Yup. We use Zend at work and I did a double-take at the example code. "Wait, my code looks exactly like this..."

It is interesting that there are no models.

This seems to be a glorified front controller integrated with a templating engine.

It is really cool that they did this as a PECL extension. I had a PHP framework many years ago that we considered converting to a PECL extension (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cep/).

Generally, models can be left up to the developer to create based on business logic. Take for example, Zend Framework. It provides an active record like pattern in its Zend_Db_Table but expects the individual application to create the models that use (not inherit) Zend_Db_Table.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Is there reason to believe that this will not work with PHP >= 5.3?

It will be is not structured using Namespaces, which can be annoying if you are using them on a day to day basis and want to integrate something like Yaf that doesn't use them.
