I agree with Tony.
I think I have written many of my own 'frameworks' over the years, one
mistake I made was never adding on to an existing one as I always
thought I could do better 2nd ,3rd or Nth time around.
I have recently had some exposure to the Zend Framework and I must say
that I do like it :) , In particular I find the Zend_Form component very
useful. Generating, validating and then inserting/updating data is super
easy. This weekend I started a new project and started hand coding a
login form, then though wth am I doing, a few lines of code and
Zend_Form had my login form up and running.
Im not saying that a custom framework is the right way, just that I
would choose one thats considered a loosely coupled framework So you can
choose what parts you want to use or not use, this is why I like the ZF,
it allows me to choose my own toilet paper to wipe my ass with or even
if I should give it a wipe .... not that I wouldn't.
