Kohana is a PHP framework that implements the MVC paradigm originally based on CodeIgniter to build web applications. It is a community driven project and it is under very active development.
Features :
- Kohana requires PHP 5 and isn’t compatible with PHP 4 : this is necessary to take advantage of OOP paradigm available in PHP 5.
- Like CodeIgniter, Kohana is lightweight and is extremely well documented.
- Implementing cascading resources make it possible to extend every part of Kohana without the need to edit core system files.
- Kohana has built-in ORM support
- Many user contributed libraries to extend the framework are available
Currently the version 2.3 is available, version 3 is expected later this year. If you are a CodeIgniter developer I strongly encourage to take a closer look at Kohana.

How do you know when sites are built with Kohana? I saw this one http://sean-nieuwoudt.com and was wondering how to determine what its built with?
Kohanas default cookie name for session is “kohanasession”. If you look at the response headers you can see it.
