template engines can be used to change the theme of a site easily (depending on the engine), but the real thing I like is complete seperation of content (HTML and whatnot) and logic (the code). Most things become quite modular (again, depending on the engine.)
You may want to look at Smarty, for an example of one template engine.

Because you have written code to create, update, delete, list (all data manipulation can be considered as one of those 4 (or a combination of them)) you are ready to whatever that comes up in your mindshiznatix wrote:so whats this "real stuff" that im ready for?
If you write a 2nd system now, you will notice that a lot of code has already been written in the 1st system. And offcourse, you are a good programmer (thus lazy) and don't want to write stuff over and over, you decide to move that code to a library/class. Et voila, you've got your first framework
When you start your 3th system you will discover shortcomings/improvements of your framework, and be able to improve it. Or you can have a look at other frameworks and decide to use one of those. As you have already writting your own, you'll be able to understand those other frameworks pretty fast.. And probably discover some nice tricks your own code didn't have...
After all this, you probably want to read some stuff about security and encryption etc... and write your own shopping cart, and integrate support for paypal etc...
Once you've done all this, come back and i'll write a sequal
