Engineering with PHP
What is PHP and why does SKN IT use it?
PHP is a mature, high-performance server-side scripting language specifically designed for web development, powering the majority of the web's backends.
Why PHP matters.
Originally created in 1994, PHP has undergone massive modernizations (especially with PHP 7 and 8), becoming a fast, strictly-typed language that remains a powerhouse of web engineering. It's the engine behind WordPress, Laravel, and many of the world's largest web applications.
Why SKN IT chooses PHP
PHP is part of our core stack because of its incredible reliability and speed and its suitability for large-scale CMS and web application development. When paired with modern frameworks like Laravel, it allows us to build secure, enterprise-grade backends with high efficiency.
