State of the PHP Community
summary
PHP claims running over 80% of the world’s websites and PHP7 delivers a 70 to 300% speed increase by just installing it; the community builds actual infrastructure like externals.do.io, PHP Map, PHP UG Slack and a mental‑health project “open sourcing mental illness” and raises tens of thousands via fundraisers for people in need. Community fragmentation is measurable — user groups go inactive, FIG is restructuring, estimates point to millions of PHP developers outside the core community.
