Contribute to the State of PHP Survey

Together with The PHP Foundation, we’re embarking on an exciting expedition – the first annual State of PHP census that aims to tally the elePHPant population across the world. Come join us!

With the help of the community, we’ve designed a comprehensive survey that aims to unearth the PHP developer trends – from years of experience and favorite frameworks to AI preferences and beyond. Our goal is to draw the most representative picture of the PHP ecosystem and the developers behind it, and share insights that will benefit the community and help shape the future direction of PHP.

For this to be a success, we need your help. Our survey will only be truly representative if PHP developers of all backgrounds participate, regardless of where you live, how long you’ve been developing in PHP, what frameworks you prefer, or the tools you use. So take part in the State of PHP survey now and help us map the herd!

Survey participants can enter a drawing to win one of five EUR 500 (or equivalent in local currency) vouchers, which they can redeem for any prize they want via Tremendous (subject to the applicable terms and conditions).
