I have rolled my own in the past in the time before Zend Framework (and others) and I was quite proud of it to be honest. It was MVC based with PHPTal templates and I used a lot of concepts I learned from a hardcore Java developer when building it. I tweaked and refined it to a point where I was very very happy with its performance (I used it for my performance benchmarking as part of my presentation on APC at OSDC Sydney 2008) and was intending to roll it out to power a commercial project of mine. Didn't happen as I planned, however I still have the codebase. I wrote it when I was rather new to OOP so it has undergone quite a bit of refactoring over time. I may open source it now that I have no major plans for it, perhaps someone may find the code useful in some way shape or form. Includes a rather simple ORM that ties into APC with it's variable caching abilities (I am aware of the limitations this provides now), reasonably simple MVC concepts and the ability to run multiple websites & domains from a single installation. Other basics are there like XML reading etc etc. In hindsight, it's a little clunky now. But I was proud of it and I still am to a point :) Personally I believe any PHP developer who wants to be taken seriously should have written thier own framework :) I am actually planning another project, however it will use Zend Framework as a base. No need to re-invent the wheel, again, as fun as it would be :) Cheers -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
