I rolled my own called "Orgile".

http://toshine.org/etc/orgile-emacs-org-mode-file-html-parser-php-publishing-tool/

I would love someone to help me develop "classOrgile.php" the org-mode
file to HTML parser can be used as a stand-alone PHP class in what
ever tool you want.

I am not much of a developer so this is a garden-shed effort, but as
you can see with http://toshine.org it turned out pretty clean, and
allows me to stay in Emacs and just push up the .org file via Git and
Orgile does the rest.

Note: I have tweaked my current Orgile code on my current site versus
the public version on github, so may need to compare the two and
republish to github.
