Based on a survey of over 550 PHP professionals, the 2025 PHP Landscape Report (available March 25!) tracks how teams are deploying, securing, and managing mission-critical PHP applications.
PHP is now in its 30th year, and the language has grown and adapted to meet modern web development needs. With over 75% of participants having completed a migration in 2024, teams are clearly interested in the improved security, connectivity, and performance that comes with new PHP versions.
However, we also found that nearly 40% of teams are still deploying at least one application using end of life (EOL) PHP, leaving them vulnerable to security threats, performance issues, and more. Despite these risks, many teams deploying EOL PHP reported nearly identical confidence levels to those using community-supported versions.
What does this dissonance mean for the PHP ecosystem? And how can you use this data to prepare your team for the coming months?
