To framework or not!
well..been searching,reading and testing frameworks for a week.
i've been coding in php4.now i'm about to start a new commercial project.
i really don't know if it's better for me and my customers to use a framework to build my software!
i mean,if there's a bug in the framework,i am affected,& will have to wait for a fix(i don't think this is accepted in a commercial environment ! ).
if there's something to be done and i meet a limitation in the framework,i am stuck!
distributing my software is much easier without the need to distribute or obligate users to install framework with the software .
another thing,only little number of frameworks support php4.and i believe most hosts still depend on php4.
please guys i'm not a programming guru,i just need to choose the correct solution for the situation.

my advice 2u
There is nothing perfect for everyone out there.. final decision is yours, but I made my decision 4 months ago and do not regret it..
I adopted Joe Stump's Approach and am veeeery hapy I did so.. The tutorial that got me started was: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2005/09/15/mvc_intro.html
it was quite blury first, but I did not give up.. and if you do the same, you will not regret.. use that mini framework and use smarty.. you will be veeeeery happy.

If you don't use a framework and write a bug yourself (which will happen), then you won't know about it at all.

Your the programmer, you program around or fix the limitation. Without a framework, you may reach a limitation in your own abilities and have no one to go to for help. At least with most frameworks, you'll have support channels of some kind.
