Need help with forum I am making

[techb]

I completely agree with the learning and doing it by hand, but I have to agree with using a framework. On things such as forums and boards, they are as old as the internet. I can go a step further and say forums are the soul reason the internet  was conceived in the first place.

Back on topic, it has been done billions of times and the reason we  have the framework are because people have mastered it and wrapped things up for us to use. Efficient, effective, and with years of knowledge behind them. Use a framework if you wanna be serious. There is a very good reasons they exist and are used by many.

Now to digress a bit, don't stop learning. +1 for doing it and for even showing what you have. Keep working on what you have or start over when you learn more about it. Reading and trying to understand the sourcecode from frameworks and other forums will show you a lot too.

i dont agree with this, you use framework when you dont know howto or are lazy.
if your new you will not think of all stuff you need to think of eg error handeling, vurnelability, compabilitation ect
but that how you get good, and thats how frameworks, application ect gets created
thats how youll start to understand whats going on. and contribute to the thing called internet
so in my oppinion make your own if you have the time, check common errors, buggs on other simmilar stuff and be a creater insted of a leecher

just my 2cents

I'll kind of merge both of their opinions and say that if you feel like your not quite sure what your doing yet, keep practicing but use a framework in the meantime. If you feel you've got this down, use your own code immediately.
But yeah, plus 1 either way for coding your own.
