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.

I set myself a challenge of learning something new this year, PHP was what I chose to learn, if I'm using framework, I'm not really 'learning' anything substantial and I may as well just purchase pre-packed scripts and aplications.
By learning this myself, by hand, I'm actually enhancing my knowledge and have the option (at a later date) of putting something that I've learned into practice.
As far as not getting a site running, I'm already using a lot of what I've learned in the past few months as an ebook spinner and cover generator that has been a huge benefit to my main business, every day it generates as many new titles with covers as needed and they're all making sales each month
So while to some I may be taking the long route, as of right now, it appears to be paying off for me, despite hitting a few roadbumps along the way, but only by trying, asking and understanding where *I* am messing things up, will I actually learn anything and I genuinely do appreciate all of the help and advice (and yes, even criticism) that Ive bene getting for those of you who are more knowledgable about .php than I am at this point in time
