In my course of programming, what I do is with every new problem is
run into is write something to address that issue using a sound
Programming Pattern and add it to a library of code I amass. It's good
to reinvent for pedagogical purposes so I suggest you atleast try to
write your own implementation of everything you run into first, then
size it up to anything that might be available.
Personally for any large scale, or sites that are meant to scale well,
I use a custom designed Framework in conjunction with Smarty for
templatization and use PEAR for DB abstraction.
What really helps understand the possible ways to develop a solution
is to also understand programming patterns, since, as the name
implies, their are certain patterns of solutions that are time tested
and are best suited for certain kinds of problems that arise....
The MVC (Model View Controller) Pattern is a good place to start with
a basic PHP frame work.
Hope this helps.
