I'm seeing some posts here about rolling your own framework, I'd like to advise against this for something that holds your client's personal data.

Have you thought of all the security implications of what your doing? Well you can be pretty sure that the developers of Symfony, Laravel, etc. have and are continuously testing their code for vulnerabilities. I'm also seeing posts about frameworks being slow, what's the scale of these web sites? If its not something humongous I don't think performance should stop you from using a framework...

I'm not saying that rolling your own framework isn't fun or a good learning experience, I'm just saying it's a lot of work to cover all the bases.

I have zero intention on rolling my own framework. That was my situation prior to this, and my research today is on replacing my internal framework.

Closest I would get is assembling some solid 3rd party packages for small projects.

Okay that's what I thought, I was more saying that for others who may be tempted to roll their own.
