Congratulations for your site ! Among all the prog/dev/ websites, reaching your page feels so ... cumfortable :) You're clearly a php pro and I feel a little clumsy asking the following :

Everybody talks about time and code saving of php frameworks, either qcodo with 'Code less Do more', prado or any other, a lot of work seems to be done to make website developers life easier.
Maybe you could tell me if using a php framework would be a good idea considering my knowledge and project.

My project : a rpg webgame. A little website based on php (for dynamic data) + ajax (for a better design), few pages but lot of events. I'm not talking about a mmorpg, it would be a web brower game like many others, when you log in, play 5 mns then log out, and come back the next day.

My knowledge : I'm an old school webdesigner (In an former life -5 years ago- I used to make static website and it was quite simple ; get dreamweaver, use it and it's done). I also made (using a quite simple programming language) a game for palmos platform, dealing with databases and the like. I have no php and sql experience (but ready to learn).

My concern : should I make my webgame with an ide like dreamweaver, or would I save time and pain learning to use a framework ?
Any reply would be warmly welcome.
