I'm providing here the complete source for the DB site I made.
No point in letting some of the tricks I learned whilst making it go to waste.
I should imagine that the only remotely useful things in it are the UI Javascript bits, but hey you're all welcome to any of this code.

The PHP that I wrote is in the system/application/imdb folder. Everything else is "engine" (framework) code that handles all the boring stuff like DB connections, URL routing _POST validation etc etc.
The code is structured in the MVC pattern. There is a folder in imdb/ for the Models, Views and Controllers.
Wikipedia explains what MVC is and how it works:

Depends on the application. I built it this way because I wanted to learn about MVC and using frameworks.
At work I have since built a fairly complex integrated CMS and eCommerce application, and without using a framework it would have been a mess
