Frequently Asked Questions
Is PHP still a viable language for a remote engineering career in 2026?
Absolutely. PHP 8.x is a modern, performant language with significant improvements over the PHP of a decade ago: JIT compilation, enums, fibers, readonly properties, match expressions, and a mature type system. Laravel remains one of the most productive full-stack frameworks in any language. WordPress alone powers 43% of the web, creating a massive PHP developer market. Shopify's Liquid templating, Magento, and countless enterprise CMSs are PHP-based. The language isn't glamorous, but the demand is real and consistent.
What PHP frameworks and tools matter most for remote jobs?
Laravel is the dominant modern PHP framework — elegant syntax, first-class testing, Eloquent ORM, queue workers, real-time events with Reverb, and Livewire for reactive UIs without heavy JavaScript. Symfony is the enterprise choice (many Laravel components are built on Symfony). For WordPress development: advanced custom fields, block editor (Gutenberg), WooCommerce, and headless WordPress with a React frontend. PHP 8.1+ features (enums, readonly, intersection types) are expected in modern codebases.
What do remote PHP developers earn?
PHP salaries have risen with Laravel's popularity and PHP 8's modernization. Mid-level remote PHP/Laravel developers earn $90k–$140k at US companies. Senior engineers with Laravel, testing, and DevOps skills earn $135k–$210k. WordPress specialists with WooCommerce or enterprise consulting experience earn $100k–$180k. European PHP developer salaries range from €55k–€110k, with Laravel specialists at the top.
