If I was recruiting a PHP programmer these days I’d be asking for one who had Ruby or Smalltalk on their CV. Many recruiters already ask for Java.<BR>
As you’ve already discovered there are some dodgy PHP coders out there and adding that to the criteria improves the quality of the candidates.<BR>

As to his arguments regarding scalability and recruitment I can remember the reading the same ones 10 years ago regarding PHP. <BR>

My client is refusing to use Ruby, due to the usual scalability concerns and the difficulty in finding coders in the future.<BR>

I've inherited the app in beta form but it is a cobweb of includes, and some dodgy attempts at PHP OO . After using ROR, my heart sinks at the thought of creating models from scratch and some kind of MVC framework. Any recommendations of a Rails style framework for PHP? <BR>
