PHP based web applications
PHP is an excellent technology when it comes to implementing lean, high-performance Internet applications.
The success of the Internet is inextricably linked to PHP - PHP is the most widely used programming language on web servers, accounting for well over 70% use.
At CosmoCode, PHP is often used when a lean software stack and highest performance is required. And PHP is also the foundation of many applications that we use at CosmoCode and adapt to customer needs: TYPO3, DokuWiki, Wordpress, vTiger. All these successful applications were programmed in PHP.
