Lots of companies and people are.

Now the real question is, is anybody using it for new projects outside low cost outsourcing sweatshops and codeslave farms in 3rd world countries. Not really. Even mentioning PHP in an interview for a successful modern tech company will most likely lead to instant rejection.

And please by all means do dv me to oblivion. I'm sorry but someone had to say "emperor has no clothes".



Plenty places in the US or EU work and continue to start projects in PHP, and I doubt very many sucessful places are going to be as stupid as rejecting candidates over PHP. (Sure, if they're not using it they might not hire someone with just PHP experience, but that's true of many stacks).

Any evidence for your claims?


Source for that instant rejection statement?
