✓ Dynamically typed — no type declarations required (but modern PHP supports them)
✓ Easy to deploy — runs on virtually every web host; simple shared hosting works
✓ Mature ecosystem — Composer (packages), huge community, vast documentation
✓ Modern PHP (8.x) is fast and feature-rich (types, JIT, enums, etc.)
✓ Powers a large % of the web — WordPress (~40% of all sites), Drupal, Joomla
✓ Major frameworks: Laravel, Symfony — full-featured modern web apps & APIs
✓ E-commerce (Magento, WooCommerce), CMS platforms
✓ Facebook was built on PHP; widely used for content sites and web back-ends
