Survey Goals

This survey wants to identify why PHP is used or is rejected in the Enterprise. Since in nowadays economy, the Enterprise is the one that could finance any technical endeavour, it is very important to understand the economic, as well as the technical aspects of the problem.

We have also tried to identify the amount of money that circulates in the market. Demonstrating the size of the market could only help you and your potential clients take the right decisions about investing in this technology. Rich markets also mean that people use the technology and benefit from it on all levels: the final client receives the right solution for his needs, the developer does his work, and the software and technical support companies also get a piece of the cake.

One of the other components we've tried to determine was how much PHP companies spend for tools. As good tools make the difference between play and work, we think that one should understand the need for tools that will enable enterprise-level productivity for PHP companies.

We have also tried to understand other forces that are driving the PHP market - as where should be PHP promoted or how does PHP software development companies look like.

We will continue by taking a look at PHP development workload in a PHP software development company.
