What custom code libraries have you built to assist in rapid application development. Here are a few that come to mind for me, please expand on the list.

3) SQL generator

4) Form processing/validation

5) HTML utilities (generate tags... populate dropdowns, etc)

The fun about php is most libraries are already been written a zillion times by someone else. So, Im on the lazy side. Whenever I need some new functionality I just hit phpclasses or hotscripts. If that doesn't have any solution than I offcourse "Live It". Still no help, than I just keep looking until I find the closest I can get so simple mods can get me what I want. If still unsuccesful than I would have to code myself but that never happened. So...

Building small sites for yourself or friends that's not a problem but when trying to do it for a business that's not usually acceptable. The reason being there's no consistency which makes readability and maintainability a nightmare. Furthermore unless you thoroughly evaluate the code there's no real way of telling a "good" script and one that sorta works. Borrowing someone's script that is riddled with security flaws is going to bite you in the ass downstream because you'll be the one held responsible.
