An Introduction to Zope
Zope is a next-generation Open Source application server and
portal toolkit developed by
Digital Creations and a large active community of users.
It runs on nearly all UNIX platforms as well as Windows NT and
can be used with most popular web servers or its own built in
web server. Zope is written (and extensible with) Python, a powerful
object-oriented programming language, with performance sensitive
components written in C.

Thats a bad example.
Fact of the matter is, you can, like I do, use includes in PHP. If you have a million billion trillion files in PHP, they can all use the include function to point to a single script which connects the the database.
I've had to change KnowPost.com's database a couple times, and all its taken is the modification of one single file.
Its also unfair to compare the two. Zope is an application server, like Cold Fusion. PHP is a language. There's a strong difference between the two. You're better off rephrasing it Python vs. PhP.
The thing that makes PHP great is its ability to install as an Apache module, and its extensive database support. Something Zope hasn't shown me it can do as well.
They are two very different beasts. You can compare Zope to Cold Fusion. And you can compare PhP to python. But you cannot compare Python to ColdFusion, or PhP to Zope.
