    Hi, i was thinking that i was working far too much on the same project recently. It was a long time ago when it reached 100000 lines of code, now i don't even wanna count them :) This is mostly what i've been doing for the last year or so and it seems to be the biggest project i've done on my own (thogh i still add some features from time to time). The whole coding is mine from the first line to the last. Do you have projects that big that you've coded all by yourself?

    What method did you use to count the lines?

    I have a million and one smallish included files and classes. There's no way I'm going to open them all and total up the line counts. :)

    I counted the lines with something like
    wc -l *.php *.js *.css
    Code (markup):
    on all directories that contain any source code.

    I've got a huge symfony project right now that's around 85K not counting any of the symfony framework code. I can't even imagine what it would be if I weren't using a framework. It will probably be around 145K when it's finished. Definitely the biggest I've ever done by myself.

    I havent used any framework :) I mean, I use one, but not any open source or the like, I coded the framework myself. This is a great way of learning how to do stuff and knowing exactly what to expect from every line of code you write, cause all the functionality is written solely by you. I'd always prefer to code projects like that one, but not everything from scratch every time. I'd use the basics from this system. Nobody wants to reinvent the wheel after all :)
