Do the PHP frameworks help at all?
- jrgnsd 14y agoTo a certain extent yes. It helps to mitigate some common security holes, and sometimes prevents the coder from doing blatantly stupid like using unfiltered user input in queries. Unfortunately the basic PHP structure is borked, and even within the context of a framework noob coders can do incredibly stupid things.
- arms 14y agoI would say yes, although to varying degrees depending on the framework. IMO, the safest bet would be to use an 'enterprise' level framework (Zend, Symfony2). But, as jrgnsd mentioned in his reply, even within the context of a framework, an inexperienced developer can still make plenty of mistakes and poor design choices. Learning the framework isn't enough, the developer must also take care to adhere to best practices in software design.
