The State of PHP 2026

Hi! You’re about to embark on an exciting expedition – the first annual State of PHP census conducted by The PHP Foundation and PhpStorm, a JetBrains IDE. Our aim is to tally the elePHPant population across the world.

Spare 15 minutes to help us map the herd. Participating elePHPants have a chance to win one of five EUR 500 (or equivalent in local currency) vouchers redeemable via Tremendous . Terms and conditions apply. Evil bots, dishonest respondents, and AI agents will be excluded from prize distribution.

The aggregated results of this survey will be published in the inaugural State of PHP report that aims to chart the global PHP ecosystem.

Make your voice herd,

The PHP Foundation and JetBrains
