So You Received a Security Report. Now What?

A guide for PHP project maintainers, from the PHP Foundation Ecosystem Security Team You maintain a PHP project. Someone (maybe Volker from the PHP Foundation, maybe an independent researcher) has just told you that your project may have a security vulnerability. You might be feeling overwhelmed, or unsure whether you can trust the report, or simply unsure what the correct next step is. Take a breath. Nothing bad has happened. A report is not a breach. It is a head start: someone is telling you…

How to Contribute to PHP

How to Contribute to PHP

PHP has powered a huge portion of the web for a long time now. It's launched untold numbers of careers and businesses, and many developers attribute their entire careers to the language. But when we find ourselves wanting to give back, it's not always clear how; sure, PHP is open source, but where do we contribute? How? I've run into that wall before. My immediate issue was that I didn't write C, followed pretty immediately by how overwhelming it felt to learn the entire…

PHP Ambassadors: Six Weeks In

When we launched the PHP Ambassador Program on June 19, 2026, we honestly didn’t know what to expect. We knew the need for something like this was definitely there, and it seemed like something the community would be interested in being a part of. But as they say, “you never know how a thing is going to go, until it goes.” I mentioned in my strategy document that I was hoping to enlist 10 people to attend a regular cadence of meetings. (Honestly, 10 people seemed like a reasonable number.) Not…

Kicking off the PHP Onboarding Initiative Special Interest Group

One of the most common pieces of feedback we hear from the PHP community is that the newcomer experience could use some improvement, and that we may be losing new users because of it. This is something that we as a community can address, and it's why The PHP Foundation made it part of our strategy document for the rest of 2026. Improving that experience matters a lot to us, because a better new user experience means more community growth and retention. We are launching the PHP Onboarding…

Quarterly Progress Report - Q2 2026

Welcoming Alexandre Daubois to The PHP Foundation

As you know, the main objective of The PHP Foundation’s mission is the sustainability of the PHP language, and a large part of that mission is focused on PHP core maintenance tasks. Included in this maintenance body of work are tasks such as issue triage, code reviews, and bug fixes. We take this responsibility very seriously, especially when it comes to security. In recent months, there has been a marked increase in the number of security reports to php-src, due to the increased availability…

Maintaining PHP Build infrastructure for Windows: Tooling for builds and security updates

Most PHP developers never think about how PHP is built. They download it or install it using a command or a pre-built image and get started with their work. That is exactly how it should feel. A build system is doing its job when the final result looks great and works as expected. Behind every official PHP for Windows release is a lot of infrastructure: compilers, SDKs, dependency libraries, extension compatibility, CI pipelines, and security updates that keep the supported PHP versions…

One Month of Ecosystem Security Engineering

Last month I shared with you that the PHP Foundation secured a grant by Alpha-Omega through the Linux Foundation to help improve the security of the PHP open source ecosystem, and that it is forming a new Ecosystem Security Team. Today I want to update you on the progress so far. After a brief set-up period, I jumped into three main activities: assessing PHP community members' most pressing needs assembling a team of volunteers to help applying the resources granted to scan PHP ecosystem…

PHP Through a Screen Reader: Small Syntax Choices That Matter

I'm a backend developer, and PHP is my main language; it is also my favorite one. I've been developing in PHP since 2008, and today, when I start a web project, I choose PHP proudly, because I know what works well for me. There is one particularity in my developer experience: I'm totally blind from birth. So I use a screen reader, a tool that sends information to speech and/or a Braille display. Of course, blind programmers are not a single organism with a shared configuration file. We use…

Integrating Community Feedback into Foundation Strategy Part 2

In April 2026, during the first weeks of my tenure as Executive Director, I conducted a listening tour with around 60 people from 18 countries spanning every part of the PHP ecosystem (see Integrating Community Feedback into Foundation Strategy: Part 1). Since then, I have continued to listen and connect with those of you in the community who have something to share. The themes that have surfaced are clear, consistent, and actionable. This document outlines how the PHP Foundation will respond…

Help Shape the Future of PHP: Take the State of PHP Survey

PHP is powered by a global community of developers, maintainers, contributors, companies, and users. To better understand that community and the ecosystem around it, The PHP Foundation and PhpStorm, a JetBrains IDE, are launching the first annual State of PHP survey. This survey is an effort to build a clearer picture of how PHP is used today: who is using it, which tools and frameworks developers rely on, what challenges they face, how they feel about the language, and where they see PHP going…
