I've been learning PHP OOP for quite a while and I've loved getting to know the language, finding solutions to problems and so forth.

Although, quite often, people keep recommending different frameworks for me to start using. I can imagine using a framework is more efficient, time effective and so forth but It seems to take quite a lot of the fun out of things.

My next challenge is to create a fully functional tutorial website and blog.

My question is, do you use a PHP framework and should I really start using one?

I was also debating whether to use CodeIgniter or CakePHP...
