I’ve blogged in the past about building my own PHP framework. I’ve found little time to further this goal in recent months and so I started looking around for a good foundation to work from. I’ve used Code Igniter before, but it’s lesser known, PHP5-only, strict OOP fork, Kohana seems a better fit with my tastes.
Hooks and Modules
Following on from the post where I vaguely mentioned building a framework, I thought I would get started on two crucial elements of it today, namely hooks and modules.
But my nails are simply too pretty to get my hands dirty
I like writing code. Writing code, especially good code, takes time. As developers, over time we build up a stash of functions or tricks which we can re-use in future projects and this certainly helps to mitigate the cost in time, but this only goes so far.
