I'm not averse to learning a methodology-- I learned Fusebox in just this situation when I was using Cold Fusion. However, when I made that choice there wasn't much to choose from and the basic model made sense. With PHP there is a LARGE number of frameworks to choose from, some of which seem amazingly complex, some of which appear to be seeking theoretical ends rather than practical solutions. Templating solutions have never been my thing, so I have a bit of a built- in resistance to that concept, and I'm not programming for IBM, so I don't necessarily need a framework that is suitable to the largest enterprise. I'm not even particularly worried about interoperability with parts of program A and program B, which seems to add a lot of overhead to, for instance, the fusebox model, where they are trying hard to make each fuse portable. c
