Does PHP itself turn into a wireframe or a large library?

Question

At the beginning, PHP was a scripting language. But after implementing and improving OOP, I see more and more objects added to the kernel. They started with libraries like the DOM (PHP versions 4 and 5), later the SPL, which grew a lot, and the DateTime family, which should be part of PECL, Pear, or Zend Framework, or implemented by each of us.

Should PHP be for built-in functions only when all these objects are passed to another?

Example: The DateTime class is part of the kernel , and I see that it is very similar to Zend_Date.

Answer 5

I think this is turning into a large library because it is full of goodies, but in reality nothing can relate everything to a good tape.

A structure such as Zend or Symfony will do wonders for organizing a PHP application. PHP alone is not very good for huge projects.
