Agrees with the answers. You need to know what you want to achieve. 1. Application (registration processes, business logic, multiple way to show data (webservices for instance)) ... best suited for a Framework 2. Website (show pages, basic lists (simple joints)) ... best suited for a CMF or a CMS (CMF is what MODx is with symfony for content... than what WordPress is for a blog) 3. Blog (Frequent posts, categorization, comments, basic CMS) ... WordPress. No question. 4. Build an open source application ... please. use a framework!! pls. my two cents

When you do <?php echo ""; ?> you need to NOT HAVE the same quoting type with your html tags. There is three ways to output things, using. 1. Single quote (') -- if you put $variables, they will NOT be parsed, speedier. 2. Double quotes (") -- if you put variables, they WILL be parsed. heavier. 3. HEREDOC -- better for html output. Here is the basic: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php 1. <?php echo 'Hello "world"!'; ?> 2. <?php echo "Hello \"world\""; ?> 3. <?php echo <<<OUTPUT Hello "world"! OUTPUT; ?> At 3, see that OUTPUT (the second mention) MUST be the FIRST element on its line. Hope it helps.
