when you sell rights it means you take no credit for the site

trulybizarre.co.uk - not a full time work, so I won't go into days, weeks and months (or, erm, further - you all know it has developed over the years anyway).
About 250 pages I think. I've not kept count, just done that thing on Google that counts your pages for you (can't remember it at the moment).

Tees Drug Network was a site i did not too long ago, quite a big site took around 4 months, every page has some form of PHP in it, often 100-200+ lines of code per pag.
erm what else can is about it, profiling system, private messaging systems, god knows, i got sick to death of doing it, and just rushed the last couple of days with the basic HTML, currently have a kick ass template to replace the site 'aestethics', with this site i completely concentrated on the PHP side of it and not the HTML, but still HTML alone took me quite a while.
personally, i dont like the 'look' of the site anymore, it looked pretty kool when i did it, but then i got what i like to call "designers fatigue"
designers fatigue = no matter how good a site is, you think it looks like <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> because you've spent too long on it
new site, is nearly finished, and is looking stunning
feedback on that site please

at my last company I coded an ecommerce system from scratch all the shopping cart/product management/reporting/account management/etc and the site did over $2million bucks last year without any problems.
at my new job I'm working on an enterprise level portal that fortune 500 companies use as well as the federal government to analyze their security risks. using php, nusoap, C++, and SQL Server

I don't know how many lines. To put it into perspective:
I have about 100 files the just handle validation of input. Each file ranges from ~40 lines to ~200 lines. So, we assume 100 lines of code each, that's 10,000 lines just for validation. That grows everyday, as we continue to fine tune the validation, and data repair.
Then their is the backend code (for the administration section). That has a bunch of pretty big libraries that are bloated, but work very, very well (As a side note: I have these two files, each with a few classes in them. One is a report file, and one is a form file. The report file handles building reports. It's actually very easy to work with, but it's a giant file! One of these days, i will go through and fix both these files, and trim out all the fat - this is called Refactoring - but right now, they work, and they work well.) The admin section I would estimate to be about 40,000 LOC.
Then we have the front end page controllers. These are short, and probably amount to no more than 2,000 LOC.
The new Merchant section is about 20,000 LOC and growing stedily as new features are added. The new user section is going to be about 10,000 LOC when finished (just under 5,000 now).
The purchase pages are huge, and in total, account for about 2,500 LOC at each step, and there are a total of 8 steps (actually 4 steps, but there are 2 differen routes). So that's another 20,000 LOC.
The verification code (not validation) is actually only about 1000 LOC.
And growing.
