Announcing the 2025 PHP Landscape Survey
About the 2025 PHP Survey and Report
As a leading name in PHP, Zend is dedicated to supporting the overall PHP community. One way that we do so is through our annual PHP Landscape Survey and subsequent PHP Landscape Report. Each year, we gather responses from PHP teams around the world, and we use that information to forecast upcoming trends and patterns.
"Security is always a top concern for teams and organizations deploying PHP applications, and 2024 was no exception," says Matthew Weier O'Phinney, Senior Product Manager at Zend by Perforce. "In our 2025 iteration of the survey, alongside tracking the most used PHP tools and technologies, we will work to clarify the ways that teams are addressing those security concerns in 2025 – whether that’s through migration to supported PHP versions, taking advantage of long term support services, or outsourcing PHP monitoring and management.”
In 2024, Nearly 55% of PHP Survey Participants Were Using EOL Versions
PHP sets an aggressive release cycle, and as a result, many teams struggle to keep pace. Our 2024 PHP questionnaire found that approximately 55% of respondents were using end of life (EOL) PHP versions to run their applications. As EOL PHP no longer receives community support or security patches, it stands to reason that approximately 40% of participants ranked security as their team’s top priority, second only to developing new features.
Despite Using EOL PHP Versions, Users Remained Confident in Their Security
Despite the high number of participants currently using EOL PHP and ranking security as top of mind, our 2024 report found that nearly half of surveyed PHP teams, regardless of version, felt “Very Confident” in the overall security of their applications.
“User
confidence in their application’s security, despite using unsupported
PHP versions, speaks to the ongoing improvements in the language,” Weier
O’Phinney states. “We are interested in continuing to track these
improvements and other emerging patterns as we move into 2025."
2024 Brought Changes to the PHP Community Support Lifecycle
One large change for the 2025 PHP ecosystem is the recent extension of the community support lifecycle, with PHP versions now receiving an additional year of security support from the community.
"In general, we expect to see changes in habits surrounding migrations or upgrades as a result of this shift,” Weier O’Phinney explains. “The 2025 survey gives us the opportunity to track the impact that the expanded support timeline will have on the ecosystem, while also examining the usage of containerization and orchestration technologies, utilization of LTS or other support services, deployment trends, and more. With this data, we seek to create an accurate and comprehensive picture of the ever-evolving PHP landscape.”
Final Thoughts
The only constant in the PHP ecosystem is change, and keeping up with the evolving trends and innovations is a major challenge for PHP teams across the globe. Relevant and timely data allows teams like yours to make informed decisions that drive the success of your PHP applications and overall business.
That's where the 2025 PHP Landscape Survey and 2025 PHP Landscape Report come in. Help us build a full picture of the current ecosystem, and we'll help you make informed plans about your mission-critical PHP applications in the coming year.

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs.
Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM
JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,

Describe the SOLID principles and how they apply to PHP development.
Apr 03, 2025 am 12:04 AM
The application of SOLID principle in PHP development includes: 1. Single responsibility principle (SRP): Each class is responsible for only one function. 2. Open and close principle (OCP): Changes are achieved through extension rather than modification. 3. Lisch's Substitution Principle (LSP): Subclasses can replace base classes without affecting program accuracy. 4. Interface isolation principle (ISP): Use fine-grained interfaces to avoid dependencies and unused methods. 5. Dependency inversion principle (DIP): High and low-level modules rely on abstraction and are implemented through dependency injection.
How does session hijacking work and how can you mitigate it in PHP?
Apr 06, 2025 am 12:02 AM
Session hijacking can be achieved through the following steps: 1. Obtain the session ID, 2. Use the session ID, 3. Keep the session active. The methods to prevent session hijacking in PHP include: 1. Use the session_regenerate_id() function to regenerate the session ID, 2. Store session data through the database, 3. Ensure that all session data is transmitted through HTTPS.
