An alternative to this PHP based toy is CMF running on the Zope cross platform application server. The most famous CMF application is the Plone portal content management system, however your CMF based web applications need not look portalish, or have any structure.
PHP is a web-oriented programming language, often tightly coupled with Apache server. Programmers whishing for a more cross platform environment that strongly discourages wheel reinvention (by providing better solutions in the box) should consider the Zope web application server.
If your programming tasks requires common CMS features such as workflow, custom data types, security, search engines and much more, then CMF is a good framework on which to roll your own custom CMS.
Zope is based almost entirely on the Python programming language, a particularly easy to learn interpreted/compiled language that does not suffer from the mess of C/Perl style grammar.
Those of us who program really big CMS applications for a living appreciate the convenience of a truly object oriented database, a welth of well designed upgrades and a thriving, almost evangelical community.
