I have been getting more and more interested in developing PHP while using a framework to help ease some of the things that are constantly done, such as interacting with the database and generating forms. Frameworks such as CodeIgniter and CakePHP can be incredibly useful in quickly ramping up a usable application.
As easy as some of these frameworks can be to use, there is still a learning curve ranging from not bad at all
to downright ridiculous. Another reason I sometimes shy away from them is that you don’t really learn some things because the framework is taking care of it all. There is always something to be said for doing things from scratch as it usually translates into knowing it inside and out.
NETTUTS has a fantastic tutorial about developing a framework using PHP5 from scratch. NETTUTS always has extremely in depth tutorials that are easy to follow and well-made. Their sister sites such as PSDTUTS are also of the same extremely high caliber.
