Lots of large companies use php for their internal applications. I built a php based backend for one of the largest sellers on amazon, in php. That company is approaching $1B in annual revenue.&lt;p&gt;Php allowed my team to move amazingly fast and deliver what the business needed very quickly.

By number of websites and e-commcerce platforms for small businesses, PHP is massive. By amount of use in +$1M ARR established tech companies, it&amp;#x27;s miniscule.
