Where Is PHP in 2023?
summary
Overview of PHP in 2023: PHP has evolved with real language features in PHP 8.x (typed properties, union types, attributes, match, nullsafe, enums, readonly) and upcoming 8.3 additions like json_validate. The ecosystem and tooling—Composer, Symfony/Laravel, WordPress, Xdebug, Blackfire, PHPStan, PHPUnit/Pest, Infection, Rector—support large production deployments, and new platforms like FrankenPHP and native desktop tooling are emerging; many organizations still run massive PHP systems where migration cost, not language shortcomings, explains continued widespread use.
