alternatives to mvc

im gonna start a medium sized proyect at work (some kind of wiki). Obviously the team wants to use an mvc framework. But ...

You could go with something like Sinatra or one of its clones. It lends itself well to an MVC style, but it's flexible too. The nice thing about some of the larger frameworks though isn't necessarily the frameworks themselves, but the tools that come along with it to make things like schema migrations easier.

Of course, there's always idiomatic PHP style:

<?php
          <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="right">
            <tr>
              <td align="center" class="smallText">
<script language="javascript"><!--
document.write('<?php echo '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE, 'pID=' . $product_info['products_id']) . '\\\')">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], addslashes($product_info['products_name']), SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"') . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>'; ?>');
//--></script>
<noscript>
<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image']) . '" target="_blank">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], $product_info['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"') . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>'; ?>
</noscript>
              </td>
            </tr>
          </table>
<?php
    }
?>
          <p><?php echo stripslashes($product_info['products_description']); ?></p>
<?php
    $products_attributes_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " popt, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " patrib where patrib.products_id='" .

    $products_attributes = tep_db_fetch_array($products_attributes_query);
