Well when it comes to speeding up the development process people will
generally say that it's better to take your time and get it right the
first time.
This is true, but once you have succeeded in perfecting a peice of
code (such as connecting to a database) - you should save that code
and turn it into a snippet.
I use DreamWeaver 8, this program has built in snippet manager so if I
write a login system that I think should work for just about anyone, I
can save the code and depending on how you write it - you can simply
set variables at the top of the code.
For example, let's say I have a long login script with many options -
my options could be something like the following:
$userName = 1; // Ask for a username.
$userPass = 1; // Ask for a password.
$randImg = 0; // Don't generate random image verifcation.
$storeSession = 1; // Keep a session going for this login.
$storeCookie = 0; // Don't store a cookie for this login.
$rememberUser = 0; // Don't remember this user.
$formAction = "main.php"' // Where this form will be submitted.
This may be a little crude but this is the general concept. You have a
module that works - and all it needs are simple flags, and after this
is done you can generate an entire user management system in minutes.
I have written a script or two that I simply setup the INI file and
then run the script and it creates directories and files and sets up a
standard 5 page website with a content management system.
These are just some ideas.
