if then of course you want to do something like session or user
management in a secure way or if your site has more than a couple
of pages or there are suddenly more than two tables in your database, feel
free to
switch to one of the frameworks, which are not that hard to learn
(it took me longer to learn ruby than to get the hang of, say, ramze,
let alone that once you've seen one, you've pretty much seen all of them)
and which will make, like, 80% of your code just vanish, because you've
been reinventing the wheel a hundred times over... :-)

Just my two cents...
