Intermediate Coder --- Coding becoming repetitive

[mongoose00318]

Hey All,

 

I've been a member of PHPFreaks for a while now and I would say that I've been coding in PHP for about 4 or 5 years now. I don't really know OOP, my coding is more structural (I think this is the right term...or procedural). Most of the time I am coding a website for a client and their needs are completely unique as far as the type of data they want to collect, how they want to manipulate it, etc. But, there is one thing I notice each project has in common...Whether it's users, projects, recent news, etc. etc. they want to be able to add/edit/delete the data for that particular feature. So I spend most of my time making the same type of forms and scripts for each project. Please tell me if I am not making sense so I can try to explain it another way.

 

Now, I don't know anything about frameworks, other than they are supposed to help with RAD. If someone could maybe discuss this topic with me, I might be able to learn something new and fascinating about PHP which has eluded me for quite a while.

 

Thanks,

I wrote an article titled Why you should be using a PHP framework. I suggest you read that to see some of the features frameworks offer and also see the names/links to some of the bigger, more popular frameworks.

 

I'd be happy to discuss any questions you have
