You're not gonna like my answer... :-) vi Since my db connection code is the same one-liner (2 for MySQL) every time, it's not exactly tricky. The UI is always a couple functions in the globals.inc for the masthead/navigation and footer, which only takes as long as it takes to make it "pretty" (or slap in somebody else's "pretty", more likely) so there's no RAD for PHP involved there. So then I'm pretty much stuck writing the custom stuff for the content in the middle which is, well, custom... So there's not a lot of RAD to do on that bit. I suppose if you insist on cluttering up your code with some massive framework of silly wrappers that don't have any added value, and it's always the same template-like code every time anyway, you could just write that ONCE, and then copy it to a new directory whenever you start a new project. What really changes? Username/password for the DB. Maybe an IP/DNS for the DB host. The interface, which is hopefully different enough to be reasonably attractive... Unless you want that "this looks just like every other site I ever built" look... [shrug] :-) :-) :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
