I never really thought about using a framework for PHP.  Mostly because I know PHP’s native functions well enough to create anything I needed from scratch.  The problem is time consumption with repetitive code and writing it out every time I needed it.

Yeah, I know how to create classes and functions to take care of these issues but nothing was standard.  For each project I would recreate the functions I have created many times before.  Sure, every once in a while I would pull some code I have written before but it wasn’t consistent nor often.

Just recently I started working with phpOpenFW, developed by Christian J. Clark.

When I first heard about the framework I was a little sceptical and unsure about changing the way I have been programming for four years.  I had to see it for myself.  To witness what was being done to create web applications with speed, accuracy, and precision.
