I would worry so, yes. There was/is so many PHP (and Java for that matter) jobs available that even the worst coders get hired in the end.

This doesn't seem like a "PHP coding quality" issue to me -- more like a trust issue, because the site admin opened the security hole by installing a WP plugin.

That could happen in any language / framework / situation. It's rogue code that got trusted.

Yes, you are right. I was responding to the use of eval in production code.

Saying that doesnt make you a better programmer, nor smart.
