Hi I want to start creating better php applications and someone told me the best thing to do is get a PHP Template or Framework. Dose anyone have a recomendation. I have used the one working with Wordpress but besides that I am a basic newb. Also how hard would it be to create my own?

I recommend that you have a look at Prado http://www.xisc.com/ I played with it a few months ago. It is very clever and seems to have a very active community.

Prado is a somewhat different concept to the numerous MVC frameworks out there. It is event driven similar to ASP.NET.

Cheers
Ross
