- Completely object oriented and event based programming
- Based on [Zend Framework] 1.5 (using Zend_Date, Zend_Db, Zend_Locale, Zend_Validate, Zend_Translate)

- WYSIWYG advanced editor (FCKeditor) with file upload
- Transparent AJAX support (forget about javascript programming, everything is AJAX based in P4A but you can completely disable ajax with a single line of code, redesign one or more or every widgets on the screen after every AJAX call only using PHP instructions)
