Welcome to Stubbles

Stubbles is a PHP 5 framework, that combines your favorite features from other programming languages and frameworks. When using Stubbles, it does not force you to use all of its packages, instead you just use the packages you like and combine it with PEAR, the Zend Framework or any other PHP-based framework.

The latest news about Stubbles can be found at our Stubblog.
