Jeffrey McManus, VD på Platform Associates uppmärksammar nu PHP som ett erkänt programmeringsspråk tillsammans med Java och .NET. PHP används idag på stora sajter såsom Facebook, Yahoo och många fler.

"In the past few years, PHP has emerged as one of the A-list programming languages, taking its place alongside Java and the .NET Framework as one of the most popular languages for developing web sites. In fact, PHP is currently used to create some of the highest volume web sites in the world, including Yahoo!, Facebook, and many others.

A big reason for PHP's popularity is its ease of use, unique suitability to the web development use case, and good performance. Because PHP's core libraries are written in C++, PHP developers can enjoy the productivity associated with a scripting language while taking advantage of the performance benefits of a compiled language."
