Would you agree this is the definition of a PHP framework?

No it does not as each script it creates and each record it adds to the database is unique, so how can it possibly violate the DRY principle?

Just because you’ve automated the process doesn’t mean it’s not repeated each time… you just coded something to do it for you. My point was, this repetition of each of those steps you mentions exactly that.

According to your logic if I use the “Add Customer” transaction 100 times to add 100 different customers to my database then I have violated the DRY principle simply because I have used the same transaction 100 times. Do you now how ridiculous that sounds?
