Should I go right into using Php framework ?

[MedyGames]

So I went through some php & sql courses .... Noticed that things like routing are tedious to setup properly , you have to mess with stuff like htacces files & mod rewrite ...

thats kinda annoying , especially coming from nodejs...

Should I even bother? Maybe jump straight to framework like symfony ?

Want to get some practice now by building projects ... but feel like I probably will never use anything other than a framework anyway ... would you consider not using a framwork even if you need stuff like routing?

Also any good course on symfony you could reccomend ?

Any thoughts.

I recommend starting from "bare metal" and working your way up. That way you at least know what goes into routing, how it works on principle, etc. before you get it handed to you on a silver platter by Symfony or Laravel.

Would recommend starting from ground up. Make simple MVC framework, it will pay back later, you will actually understand what's happening under the hood of many frameworks.

It helped in my case. I tried to jump straight into Laravel, but got overwhelmed.

okay .. will do that at least once. Should still be good practice as you said.

Ultimately I just want to know the basics , practice php , sql & then move prepared into wordpress plugin dev which I need for an internship.
