Pure PHP Coding VS Framework PHP Coding

As you can see from the picture bellow, a framework simply just an “add-on” which provides methods and toolkits to your original PHP code. So it's easy to understand that this framework add-on will add more bloat to your applications. So why bother coding with PHP framework?

As we have discussed before, when you develop simple applications you mostly don't need a framework. But when your application grow more and more complex, at some point, you need a consistent approach and toolkit which can avoid you from making inefficient code and errors, and helps you build a robust and solid applications.
