I personally use my own framework consisting of :
1.Mysql Interface
2.Template System (yes home brewed not smarty)
3.Config Class (mysql details,debug, and anything else that the script might need)
4.Simple Form Creating class.
5.a Request Class (all useful details from $_SERVER in a more readable format ex: $this->Request->ip, $this->Request->url,$this->Request->time)
6. Anti-hacking (Ip blacklist, keywords from public sec. scanners etc.)
And I just call it framework :)
