Yet another PHP framework
Call it NIH, re-inventing the wheel, narcissism, or any number of other terms that come to mind, but I've always wanted to write my own PHP framework. Simple time constraints usually stop this self destructive urge in its tracks, but I've decided that I'm tired of saying to myself "Framework PHPxyz would be great if only it had ABC.". So it is time to Just Do It.
No matter how much this project screams ego, my real objective is to learn and share with my fellow PHP addicts. I intend to chronicle the project here on phpaddiction.com as part of an experimental development process. I haven't thought of a buzzword for this process yet but you know its coming! All egomaniacs who impose new frameworks on the world instead of working on an existing one must coin new buzzwords to help justify their pet project and I don't intend to be left out.
Oh and hopefully we all learn something too.

Doug,
I just ripped your url routing into an app i am building. It's very nice. I went with my own url routing because i realized that was the only reason i wanted a framework. If you are going to build your own, i applaud you. I have a name for you.

Hope you like it.

Nick,
Awesome name! I have been so busy on various projects that this blog has been a bit neglected. I'm sooooo happy that somebody found something useful here… it is definitely encouragement to get back as soon as possible.

I too have the self-destructive, yet burning desire to build my own framework for pretty much the same reasons. I'm currently loving the look of Django, the Python-based framework and the mission is to build something based on that sort of setup. It'll probably come out vastly inferior in the wash but I'll post another comment at some time in the future if anything comes of it.
Good luck with your efforts!
