PHP runs on virtually every web hosting platform without additional configuration. Its request-response lifecycle is straightforward — each request loads fresh state, eliminating memory leak concerns common in long-running runtimes.
Our PHP development follows modern practices: strict typing with declare(strict_types=1), PSR standards for interoperability, Composer for dependency management, and PHPUnit for test coverage. We deploy using OPcache for bytecode caching, implement proper error logging, and configure PHP-FPM for production performance.
Yes. PHP 8.x introduced JIT compilation, named arguments, attributes, and union types — bringing modern language features to the ecosystem. New frameworks like Laravel and Symfony continue to innovate. PHP remains the pragmatic choice for content-heavy websites, e-commerce platforms, and any project where deployment simplicity matters.
Recommendation depends on requirements. Laravel suits most web applications with its batteries-included approach. Symfony fits enterprise projects requiring strict architecture. WordPress handles content-focused sites. Slim works for lightweight APIs. We assess your team's experience, performance needs, and long-term maintainability before selecting.
We address OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities systematically: prepared statements for SQL injection, output escaping for XSS, CSRF tokens for state-changing requests, session security configuration, input validation, and secure file upload handling. PHP's built-in password_hash with BCRYPT handles credential storage.
Yes. We perform incremental modernization: upgrading PHP versions (7.x to 8.x), replacing deprecated functions, introducing type declarations, migrating from mysql_* to PDO, implementing dependency management with Composer, and adding test coverage. The process happens alongside normal feature development.
