Get Started FreeWhat Do PHP Developers Do?
PHP developers build dynamic websites, web applications, content management systems, and e-commerce platforms using one of the web's most widely deployed server-side languages. PHP powers approximately 77% of websites with a known server-side language, including WordPress, Wikipedia, and Facebook's initial platform. Modern PHP developers work with frameworks like Laravel, Symfony, or CodeIgniter, follow PSR standards, and use Composer for dependency management. They build RESTful APIs, integrate with databases, and create admin panels and CMS solutions. Companies hire PHP developers for web application development, WordPress customization, e-commerce builds, and legacy system maintenance. Modern PHP (8.x) has evolved significantly with features like typed properties, enums, and fibers.
What to Look For
- Experience with modern PHP frameworks (Laravel, Symfony) and follows PSR standards
- Understands PHP 8.x features like typed properties, enums, and named arguments
- Can design normalized database schemas and write efficient queries
- Writes tests using PHPUnit and follows test-driven development practices
- Experience with Composer, Git workflows, and deployment pipelines
- Familiar with caching strategies (Redis, Memcached) and performance optimization
Red Flags to Watch
- Writes procedural PHP without using any framework or MVC pattern
- No awareness of modern PHP features (still writes PHP 5-style code)
- Cannot explain SQL injection prevention or security best practices
- Has never written a unit test or used PHPUnit
- Unfamiliar with Composer or modern dependency management
- Cannot discuss RESTful API design principles
