What is PHP and why do companies need PHP developers?
PHP gets dismissed by engineers who haven't looked at it since 2012, but the reality is it runs more than 75% of the web — including WordPress, WooCommerce, Drupal, and a substantial portion of the world's SaaS businesses built on Laravel. Modern PHP 8.3 is typed, fast, and nothing like the PHP that earned its bad reputation. NeuronHire places PHP developers from LATAM vetted on PHP 8.3+, Laravel, Symfony, and production API design — including developers who specialize in modernizing the legacy codebases most companies actually have. Placed in 7 days, at 30–50% below US rates.
Built with PHP
What companies build with PHP
Laravel SaaS applications
Laravel is the dominant PHP framework for modern product development — queues, events, Eloquent ORM, broadcasting, and Livewire for reactive UIs are all first-class. Teams that pick Laravel ship real features faster than teams that build similar infrastructure from scratch in other languages.
WordPress and CMS development
WordPress runs on PHP, and the developers who build production-grade WordPress — custom plugins, theme architecture, headless backends, and performance optimization for millions of monthly visitors — are a different caliber than basic site builders.
Legacy PHP modernization
Most companies with PHP codebases are running PHP 5.x or 7.x with zero types, global state, and no test coverage. The right PHP engineer migrates incrementally to PHP 8.3+, introduces strict types and dependency injection, and gets the codebase to a place your team can actually work in.

PHP interview questions
- 01What are the main differences between PHP 7 and PHP 8? Name three features you'd use in new code.
- 02Explain how Eloquent relationships work. How would you model a User who has many Orders, each with many OrderItems?
- 03What is dependency injection, and how does Laravel's service container implement it?
- 01You're optimizing a Laravel application that's generating 200+ queries on a single page load. Walk me through your investigation and the fixes you'd apply.
- 02How do you design a Laravel application to support multi-tenancy — where should tenant isolation live, and how do you prevent data leakage between tenants?
- 03Walk me through how Laravel queues work, and how you'd design a system that processes 10,000 email notifications per hour with retry logic and dead-letter handling.
- 01Design the database schema and API architecture for a SaaS billing system in Laravel — subscription plans, proration, invoice generation, and Stripe webhook handling. Walk through the key decisions.
- 02You inherit a PHP 5.6 e-commerce codebase with no tests, procedural code, and direct database calls in view files. How do you plan and execute the modernization without breaking production?
- 03How would you architect a high-availability Laravel deployment that handles 50,000 concurrent users — from the PHP-FPM configuration to the database read replica strategy to the queue worker scaling?
