Announcing Plans for a PHP Ecosystem Survey and Report

This year, The PHP Foundation, in collaboration with PhpStorm, a JetBrains IDE, will release an official ecosystem report with data-driven insights into the current state and the future of PHP development. The report will be based on data collected from a PHP developer survey, where we’ll ask developers about their experience with the language and ecosystem.

Our goal is to capture perspectives from across the PHP community – we want as many voices as possible to be included. To make that happen, we’re starting by collecting suggestions for survey questions.

This week, you can submit your proposed questions and upvote others through a dedicated form. We’ll review all submissions and select the most interesting ones to include in the survey, which will launch in June. If you have an idea for a question, you can submit your question here.

The submissions are open until April 28, 2026. We look forward to hearing from you!
