I'm with Vaskel, plus I'd chime in that if you switch now you totally are never going to get it done. You should eventually switch to a php framework, but only after you've finished what you've got now and have proven your idea viable and workable. Your experiencing a fairly common mid-project crisis. It's almost exactly like a mid-life crisis. You're at the point that you can see the end coming and are wondering if you haven't totally fucked yourself up to this point. You see all the things you could have done better or differently. The key at that point is to try to refocus on the finish line and get yourselves there. Take notes on your mistakes, but always move forward. Plus you've already sunk a year into it, why set yourself back? Remember a shitty solution to a problem is better than no solution at all.
