PHP is a proven server-side programming language known for its versatility, ease of use, and strong database integration.

Why PHP for Your Web Projects?

PHP has established itself as one of the most important pillars of web development for over two decades. With modern versions like PHP 8.x, the language now offers a mature, typed, and performant foundation for professional web applications.

Technical Strengths

Modern Language Features: PHP 8.x brings enums, union types, named arguments, and JIT compilation, making development both safer and more performant.

Robust Ecosystem: With Composer as package manager and frameworks like Symfony, a comprehensive ecosystem is available that meets modern development standards.

Database Integration: Native support for all common database systems with modern PDO drivers and ORM solutions.

Use Cases in My Projects

I use PHP especially for Content Management Systems like TYPO3 and WordPress, but also for custom web applications with the Symfony framework. The combination of proven stability and modern development capabilities makes PHP the ideal choice for projects that need to work today and remain maintainable for the long term.

Performance and Scaling

Modern PHP versions offer impressive performance through Opcache and JIT compilation. In combination with efficient caching strategies and optimized database queries, even high-traffic applications can be implemented without problems.
