karpi,

There's Django

   http://www.djangoproject.com/

It's being used at http://www.chicagocrime.org/, which also uses  
PostGIS, but not mapscript.
It has a templating system that, to me, looks a bit like PHP. You can  
also use Zope 3 page templates inside Django

   http://www.zope.org/Members/shh/DjangoPageTemplates

And there's Kid

   http://www.turbogears.org/about/kid.html

which is also sort of PHP-like.

I'm mostly a Zope page template person, but Django and Kid templates  
seem to have a lot of momentum lately.

cheers,
Sean
