PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development. It is widely-used for server-side scripting where server processes web page requests. PHP integrates well with HTML and databases, making it a staple in the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack used for hosting websites. Despite its simplicity and ease of use for beginners, PHP is powerful enough to drive some of the most complex websites such as Facebook and WordPress.

Benchmarks

This benchmark tests how fast a framework can perform concurrent HTTP requests, I/O operations, and JSON de/serialization.

MedianP99

Framework	Requests per second Indicates how many requests per second the framework can handle. (higher is better)	Latency Indicates how long it takes to process a request. (lower is better)	Stability Indicates how stable the framework is under load: median / P99 latency (higher is better)	Memory Indicates how much memory (RAM) the framework uses. (lower is better)
PHP / Symfony	1226	9.6 ms	12.16 %	39.8 MB
PHP / Laravel	359	96.4 ms	51.93 %	43.1 MB
