Discussed this with a developer as I suggested to use CodeIgniter framework over standard PHP.
Their response was as follows:
Advantages of Code Igniter include standardised MVC structure. Disadvantages include the fact that you need the whole framework even if you dont need to use it all and also a bit slower for the team to roll out the project. Advantages of our normal Custom PHP framework - fast to develop and totally flexible, only need the code that is relevant.
Would you agree with their response and why? I always though CI was quicker to roll out due to the use of short tags and freely available modules.
