Since its release in 1995, PHP has been one of the most popular server-side languages for building web applications. It supports a wide range of web servers, databases, and operating systems. PHP developers use popular frameworks like Laravel, Symfony, and Zend to deploy and manage sites that serve high volumes of traffic.
