Re: Do you use a public framework or roll your own?

I read somewhere (can't find the link at the moment) that there's probably 2.5 frameworks per PHP developer. I know that when I started I was writing my own bits and pieces of two frameworks. One was function based and the other was OO based. I've since found the Yii <http://www.yiiframework.com/> PHP framework and LOVE it. As someone that used to do assembly code programming on Pic microcontrollers with very little SQL background it was a bit of work to try and understand OO, MVC, ActiveRecord, etc.. But now that I have I'm much faster and more efficient. There's also the added bonus that being a Open Source project it is being worked on by lots of people and constantly getting better. So I'd have to vote twice. I've used my own frameworks, but now using a proper one. My 2c. -- Michael Kubler I believe in a better world.

In hindsight, it's a little clunky now. But I was proud of it and I still am to a point :) Personally I believe any PHP developer who wants to be taken seriously should have written thier own framework :)
