Frameworks

Many frameworks have been written for PHP that allow for quicker, safer, and cheaper app development. It is worth mentioning Laravel, Symfony, and Zend that simplify the whole process and allow for greater app scalability.

Performance

The PHP performance is being gradually improved in subsequent versions. For example, a new PHP 8 version utilizes a JIT (Just-In-Time) technique that enables compiling a program into a machine code just before it is executed. It results in significantly faster performance.

Earlier, a lot of progress had been made in eliminating the dead code, that is the one that will never be executed.

Open-source

Being an open-source language, it guarantees that every developer can download, use, and modify PHP projects for free. That is why on the Internet you can find ready-made solutions that greatly facilitate the development process.

A community gathered around PHP not only changes existing elements, but also adds new modules that make PHP an increasingly advanced language.

Benefits of PHP

With PHP you can build web applications that are fast and secure.

Speed

PHP is one of the fastest scripting languages (especially from the PHP 7 version on) because of its own memory space. PHP scripts run much faster, so websites or web applications written with it have reduced loading time, data processing time, and server response time. PHP is also extremely quick to set up.

Cost-effectiveness

Many companies create applications using PHP because it is simply cheaper. The language itself is popular and free. It is easy to get started by ISPs with minimal hosting plans, which reduces costs. Even the cheapest (or free) servers support PHP scripts. Not to mention the fact that you can build your PHP dev team at a lower cost compared to other languages.

Scalability

The main advantage of the PHP language is its scalability. It can be used by everyone in their projects, from beginners to PHP gurus, from simple websites to extensive systems used on a corporate level that deal with a large amount of data. The spectrum of PHP applications is really wide.
