PHP Development & Web Programming

Benefits and examples

PHP remains the leading server-side programming language for dynamic web applications.

What are the benefits of PHP?

PHP is a dynamic programming language. With PHP you can set up a server-side environment that runs on all operating systems and browsers for your customers. Projects can be realised considerably more cost-effectively with PHP than with another programming language such as C++ or Java. PHP is constantly being developed further and offers additional functions with every PHP update. A redesign of a website is easier to implement with PHP than with other programming languages, as it is not necessary to change the programming code together with the design. The design and programming code are separated from each other. Website erstellen

Frequently asked questions

I currently recommend PHP 8.2 or 8.3. These versions offer the best performance, modern language features such as Named Arguments and Enums, as well as active security support. Older versions like PHP 7.4 or 8.0 are already end-of-life.

That depends on the project. For fast, lean applications I use CodeIgniter 4. For more complex projects with many requirements Laravel is ideal. I use Symfony for enterprise applications requiring long-term maintenance.

PHP is absolutely up-to-date. Over 75% of all websites use PHP, including Facebook, Wikipedia and WordPress. Modern PHP versions are performant and type-safe. Node.js is interesting for real-time applications, but for classic web applications PHP is often the better choice.

Yes, I take over and modernise legacy PHP code. This includes updates to current PHP versions, refactoring to object-oriented code, introduction of Composer for dependencies and implementation of automated tests.

Security is built into every line of code: prepared statements against SQL injection, output escaping against XSS, CSRF tokens, secure session handling and Content Security Policy. I use tools like PHPStan for static analysis.
