The framework is heavily inspired by the [http://www.symfony-project.com/ Symphony PHP framework] (PHPLights is an acromym for PHP Light(weight) Symphony) but avoids forcing developers to do things only in a certain way. It's also not intended to become a heavyweight, multi megabyte "one size fits all" framework by integrating parts like Propel (an object relational mapper) which are also available separately. Instead, it should be always possible to distribute the core libraries and the extensions along with the application.
