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

Shortly ago, moving from programming in Gtk+ / C++ to PHP for the first time in my life, I made a good study of the available rapid application development options out there, studied a few PHP frameworks, read the opinions on the internet about it, then initially decided to use a framework to speed up development. After more thought I then began to feel that such a framework could somehow lock one in into their way of doing it, and if one wants to do something a bit different, there would be a struggle with the framework's way of doing it, and ended up not trusting frameworks for the purpose on hand, so at the end of all, it was decided to start from scratch, gather object oriented and procedural code from the internet to use as examples, then design based on that. Teus.
