PHP powers the digital economy, with millions of websites using PHP as their server-side language of choice. Add to that an estimated 5.5 million PHP developers, and an ever-growing appetite for speedy and secure digital experiences, PHP is poised for yet another banner year in 2023. But the growth and prosperity of the PHP ecosystem isn’t without its challenges. Among many notable findings, our 2023 PHP Landscape Report found that PHP teams regularly struggle with performance issues, debugging, and keeping pace with PHP upgrades – with the latter being especially prevalent following on the heels of PHP 7.4 end of life in November, 2022. With so much innovation and progress in the PHP space, and just as many potential pitfalls for teams to avoid, understanding the state of PHP development is more critical than ever.
