Code reuse: frameworks and classes
There's an interesting new post available over at PHPClasses.org where site founder Manuel Lemos discusses the Zend Framework, PHP5 adoption rates and code reuse. The title of the post is a little misleading: Recommended PHP Frameworks. While Lemos does reference the Zend Framework as well as binarycloud, he goes on to explain that he prefers to use only code he's written, and mentions no other frameworks. Recognizing that this approach has its benefits and pitfalls, Lemos further elaborates on an alternate approach: using existing PHP packages as a temporary solution by creating sub-classes of the desired packages. These sub-classes can implement the API in a custom manner. What follows is a long list of useful PHP classes that one could use in tandem to create a powerful, customized PHP application framework.
