What's the future of PHP Programmer ?

Question

wheather it is secure domain ? It is safe to stick with this to secure career?

Answer 1

PHP has been around since 1996, which is longer than, for example, .Net, so if anything is new and untested, it is in fact .Net. Ruby on Rails? Nice toy, but does it work in production? I am not saying it doesn't, but so far no one tried it.

PHP, with its simplicity and possibility of avoiding object-oriented programming, is ideally suited for software development by a domain expert, rather than a programmer, which is what the future is going to be all about. Programming is quickly becoming a skill, rather than an occupation, very much like driving or typing; a lot of people do it, but for most, it is either not a job at all or just a part of a job. And this, I believe, is the answer to your question: if you want a secure career, forget programming. Professional programmers are going the way of professional typists, into oblivion. There will always be a few niches for professional programmers (someone will have to develop operating systems, development tools, hardware drivers, embedded software, etc.), but application programming, especially on the Web, will eventually be taken over by domain experts...

Answer 2

PHP is still seen as new & untested in the business world. A lot of experienced programmers don't like it because it doesn't use typed variables, the names of functions are inconsistent, and it's rather inefficient (each page request creates its own little environment so you can't have global data structures like a Singleton that's accessible to every user).

I think what's going to happen is that another language will displace Java in the next 5 years, but it wont be PHP. PHP keeps improving, but there's too many bad prejudices against it.

Answer 3

PHP is often coupled to MySQL and the Apache webserver, and since those are all top-notch products and all open source freeware it's a safe bet PHP will be around for a quite a while longer.
