> And then other developpers comes in, and have to learn how to use your non standard code If you use a framework, new developers coming in often have to learn how to use it as well. I've never hired a developer who didn't know how to use PDO prepared queries, which are the standard in my code base. Built into the language, escapes no matter what database you use, etc. Good developers know how to write secure PHP code without a framework. They don't necessarily know how to use a random framework. Bad developers will at some point take variables from a $_POST/GET array and use them unwisely regardless of whether you have a framework.
