From its humble beginnings as a personal project in the mid-90s, PHP has grown to become one of the most popular languages for web development, powering everything from small blogs to large enterprise applications. Every year, I write a post about the current state of PHP, where I look back and forward. I usually start these posts with a summary of the latest PHP version, but this time I want focus on the PHP Foundation first.

I hope the PHP Foundation will be up to speed soon and that there are enough core developers who have time to work on PHP next year.

I don't think 2022 will be the most mind blowing year for PHP, but rather a year of adding stability.
