I've made a number of posts over the past months regarding using a prebuilt PHP framework, or building my own, in order to speed my project development time.
Well, after a lot of hand-wringing, I've decided to build my own - one piece at a time - so I fully understand what's going to go on. But geez... where to start?
I know it's gonna be a big job as I want (need) this undertaking to be as flexible as possible for almost anything a client wants to throw at me. I suppose that means modularization, which seems a logical (and conceptually-easier) approach ... but I also suppose it means OOP (for maximum flexibility/re-usability) which I'll have to digest as well.
But, before I can get excited about learning the OOP aspects of PHP, I need something meaningful to work on - like a "real" module for my framework: I don't know... maybe just DB connect module? Navigation menu module?
I'm excited and anxious at the same time about this entire process, so could someone suggest exactly how I should begin - baby-steps please.
If there's a good site "out there" that someone can sticky-me ("framework fundimentals in PHP" or something) perhaps I could start there.
All guidance...as always...is greatfully received.

DB/CMS driven site. Make a site that's powered by a CMS. Within that CMS, the site's navigation is multi-stepped (ie having main and sub menus) and the site contains an RSS news area... This should keep you busy!
