If vanilla php does that for you, then good. It will execute much faster since there's less overhead. Plus we all understand php so your work will be very portable between programmers. That method doesn't work well for me given client demands and constant changing requirements. I need something that can provide lots of different functionality yet not hinder really custom stuff where it is needed. So find that balance. Try building a site using some random framework. Then compare what that took versus your current setup. Keep in mind the first attempt won't truly be a fair comparison because of the learning curve of exploiting the potential of the framework. Also keep in mind what it is you're trying to accomplish. Some sites are very basic while others are quite complex. It's up to you to know what the site needs to be able to do today and in 6 months. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
