Well for me, it's exactly as you say. It's a collection of functions, base.class.php (with magic __set(), __call(), __get(), debug introspection, etc.), User.class.php (loading, saving, logging, roles, etc.), $_SESSION['user'], gui_nav.inc.php, gui_menu.inc.php, gui_footer.inc.php, gui_header.inc.php, db.inc.php wrapper functions, global.inc.php, and a few other 'function' collections for time/date, XML, outputting a standardized HTML table with rollover/headings/popups/row summary/etc, select box (multi, blank option, ghosted options, array/sql, etc). "logic" I've accumulated over the years of what works and what doesn't. So at each company, I tend to start with my previous "framework" and build upon it. Improving it. Tweeking and optimizing it not only for future use, but also for the specific task at hand. Ripping out things that don't apply to keep the code lean and adding routines that help make life easier too. For example, until this current job, I would never have used a print_table() routine that takes arrays of headings (tooltips optional), rows, data and prints out an HTML table because I thought it was a waste of memory and I can just loop and do it in each page. But now I am kicking myself for not doing that in other companies. Sure it has some "gotchas", but I've worked through pretty much every one so far and this routine kicks some ass up and down the block. It even exports to Excel, WITH notes = tooltips. Yeah baby! I tried Symfony at one company and absolutely hated it. I hear good things about Zend. But overall -- and again, I really do NOT want this to turn into a debate or the pros/cons, I just wanted to know some percentages of what people are REALLY using. Partially curiosity and partially to maybe re-consider or maybe to re-enforce what I've been doing. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
