Zoop is a recursive acronym which stands for Zoop Object Oriented PHP Framework.
Far from being Yet Another PHP Framework or Rails clone, Zoop has been in development since 2001 and in use for the last 6 years in a number of different production environments.

Introduction
Sequences consist of two things. First there are sequences of pages inside each zone. These are tags. Then there is a sequence of zones, to be strung together. These are tags.
