Possibly one that uses basic MVC, and has a mySQL class.
There's this: http://toroweb.org/
Any other recommendations?
If you want some other suggestions:

Alternatively, consider becoming familiar with one of the major PHP frameworks. Obviously getting started will take some effort, but then you'll have its entire toolkit at the ready when you move on to prototyping your second, third, and Nth project.
Below I'll list some PHP frameworks and feedback about them--not from experience working with them necessarily, but instead based on their support lifetimes.
Yii: Support for version 1.x ends on Dec 31, 2012. Version 2.x is not yet out of beta. http://www.yiiframework.com/
Zend: ZF 1.x is the current version. ZF 2 is supposed to be around the corner, but that was also true last summer so the timing on this is a bit unclear (2.0.0 beta1 is the latest beta). http://framework.zend.com/
CodeIgniter: CodeIgniter 2 was released in 2011, so it's less likely to have its API change on you substantially in the near term. http://codeigniter.com/
Symfony: Symfony2 was released in 2011, so like CI, it's less likely to have its API change on you substantially in the near term. http://symfony.com/
CakePHP: CakePHP 2 came out in 2011, so same thing applies here. http://cakephp.org/
AuraPHP: The first PHP 5.4 framework. Less developed than the others at this point. Not on the same scale of popularity as the others, but it merits a mention as the first PHP 5.4 framework. http://auraphp.github.com/
Kohana is cool. It basically tries to be the PHP equivalent of Ruby on Rails. http://kohanaframework.org

After a fair bit of research, I think this one looks like my best option. What's the learning curve like? (considering I've never used a framework before)
