But...what are you trying to accomplish? Tinkering? Developing an application? When I started, regretfully, there really weren't any frameworks. Now I'm in way over my head and constantly debate the merits of switching to a framework versus hobbling along with my own "framework". For tinkering, sure, learn and play with php. This is a wicked cool tool: http://www.hping.org/phpinteractive/ Install it, play with it, experiment with code snippets in it. Instant feedback. But if you want to develop a full-bore application, please don't roll your own -- learn a framework while you are learning php.
