The PHP Landscape Changes Quickly

PHP has evolved fast. Over the past three decades, what started as a set of simple tools for web development has grown into a powerful and feature-rich programming language.

To help developers and organizations navigate these changes, the annual PHP Landscape Report from Perforce Zend compiles data from real-world PHP usage across industries and regions, offering key insights into ongoing trends, adoption rates, and the top challenges facing PHP development teams.

By identifying these patterns, the report helps organizations adopt up-to-date best practices, plan migrations or upgrades, and foster a more forward-looking PHP management strategy.
