Modern PHP Development in 2024

In 2024, PHP remains a strong contender in modern web development. Despite a decline in its ranking on the TIOBE index, PHP is still one of the most widely used programming languages for websites. Its practicality, efficiency, and performance improvements make it a solid choice. For instance, the latest versions of PHP (like PHP 8.1 and above) have shown significant speed enhancements, making it competitive with Python or Node.js, and even faster in some scenarios. PHP’s development speed is also quite rapid, similar to Python, and it boasts a rich set of built-in functions and libraries that facilitate quick development. Additionally, PHP is relatively easy to deploy, especially for large-scale applications. Applications handling millions of requests can efficiently achieve load balancing with proper endpoint caching in PHP. The advantages and development trends of PHP are evident in several areas. Firstly, PHP is favored for its simple and readable syntax, making it particularly suit...
