I actually had not thought much about that, but since you mentioned it I believe it is a valid point. I need to amend the article to include your input! =D Thanks for the input Bretticus.

Informative and to the point. Indeed the barrier to entry using PHP is low. And it does tend to attract beginners. Because PHP is inherently insecure, it certainly can be (and has been) a problem. Even though I do agree that someone should grasp the language before picking up a framework (say Codeigniter,) I think that perhaps it's not such a bad idea to use a framework as some security issues are abstracted away when using built in code. Or security measures can be easily turned on in the framework. I'll take bloated, inefficient code any day over easily-exploited code. Great article. Informative and to the point.
