You're right, OP does seem to always skip the official PHP docs and starts building right away... So yeah, I guess it makes sense to use a framework when you're just starting out learning PHP and the website needs more than just the basic SQL stuff.

Or perhaps even buying a fully working script and just modify it a bit to your own needs. That's what I often did when I barely knew the basics. Learned a lot that way (with trial and error... lots of error).
Yea, thats why I asked him.

If I just wanted to build a site, I'd use a framework.

If I wanted to brush up my PHP skills, or master them.. Id not.

but if you just wanna get a site up and running.. and the syntax and fundamentals of PHP are slowing that down, alot of those fundamental problems become very trivial with a framework.

Based on his previous questions, the most likely outcome of him actually producing a live site, from the code he's been doing, is that it's instantly hacked, OR he's gotta spend 6 months learning hot to prevent every possible attack, how to sanitize data etc etc.

He'll NEVER get a site going.
