Rapid PHP Development tool that is lightweight?

Hi all,

I haven't been writing PHP for a while and recently got back into the scene. I remembered having to write code for login, authentication, session, cookies and most annoying of all, a dynamic page rendering model. I am wondering if there are any suite of pre-written PHP libraries for mundane tasks such as those which are lightweight - meaning, you don't have to go through tonnes of material just to be able to deploy it. For example, I am looking at CakePHP and it feels a bit too bogged for my purpose.

Any suggestions?

My main php program, is SciTE. It has color coded syntax for, like, 50 languages (including php). It doesn't write anything for you, but you can run the php right there in the program, in the output pane, where it runs the php. (Dreamweaver doesn't even do that :wink: ) SUPER lightweight. Opens in about 2 seconds on my computer, and my computer...well, lets just say it's no supercomputer. :D

He/she wasn't asking for a PHP editor/IDE but a framework of some sort :P
I'm afraid I can't give you any recommendations as I've never tried any of the popular frameworks available =/
