62 days ago🧵 Good Facts About PHP
A thread highlighting why PHP is still a solid choice in web development 👇
1. 🌍 Powers the Web
PHP still runs over 75% of all websites on the internet — including giants like WordPress, Facebook (early days), and Wikipedia.
2. ⚡ Fast and Efficient
PHP 8+ introduced the JIT compiler, making performance significantly better — it’s now faster than ever for backend processing.
3. 🛠 Built for the Web
Unlike general-purpose languages, PHP was made for web development — HTML integration is seamless and fast to prototype.
4. 💡 Easy to Learn
PHP has a low entry barrier. Its syntax is beginner-friendly and it's easy to get a project running with just a few lines of code.
5. 🧩 Massive Ecosystem
Frameworks like Laravel, Symfony, and CodeIgniter make building robust, scalable apps smooth and enjoyable.
6. 🔐 Strong Security Practices
With modern practices and frameworks, PHP supports strong security features like CSRF protection, password hashing, and more.
7. 📦 Huge Community & Resources
Tons of tutorials, forums, Stack Overflow answers, and open-source packages make support and learning accessible to everyone.
8. 💼 High Job Demand
PHP developers are still in demand — especially for maintaining or modernizing the massive number of existing PHP applications.
9. 🔁 Backward Compatibility
Upgrading PHP versions doesn’t often break code. Backward compatibility is a strength of the language’s evolution.
10. 🧪 Great for APIs & Microservices
Lightweight and flexible, PHP is great for REST APIs and microservices — especially with tools like Slim and Laravel Lumen.
💬 Conclusion:
PHP might not be the trendiest, but it’s battle-tested, efficient, and here to stay. Don't underestimate its power in 2025!
