I hand code everything I do in php. I separate functions and class in
referenced files that are grouped by function in the site(i.e. - all queries
are in queries.php, the db connection is done in dbconn.php, etc...). This
will allow a project to grow without having to rewrite everything. Also
debugging is easy. If you know a query is failing, open the queries.php
file.

The structure I use is to build the entire page as a variable, usually
called $page, that I print after it has been completed. So from the html
doctype tag to the closing html tag I simply append to one variable and
print.
