ARC brands itself as "Easy RDF and SPARQL for LAMP systems"

Excerpt from the homepage :
"ARC is a flexible RDF system for semantic web and PHP practitioners.

    * Various RDF parsers and extractors (RDF/XML, Turtle, RSS, microformats, eRDF, RDFa, ...)
    * Serializers (N-Triples, RDF/JSON, RDF/XML, Turtle)
    * RDF Storage, SPARQL Query, and Update
    * Turtle templating
    * Plugins and Triggers

ARC is easy to bundle with existing PHP/MySQL software

    * Works with PHP4 and PHP5
    * No use of global variables, constants, or other practices which may cause integration problems
    * Error collection, avoidance of PHP warnings and notices
    * Automatic path detection for component inclusion
    * Components are kept as small as possible, only immediately required code is loaded into memory
    * Customizable per-store prefix for database tables"
