PHP here is the main language of the repository. Plugins, themes and custom code for this software are usually written in PHP as well, and dependencies come from Composer and Packagist. A record carries this value when PHP makes up most of the codebase, as stated by the project or shown by its repository. Front-end assets in JavaScript do not change that. Running the software needs PHP installed. Craft CMS and Laravel are examples.

44 projects are written in PHP, listed alphabetically. Mostly content management systems, web frameworks and e-commerce, of 15 categories in all. 38 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way. Counts only projects with momentum; the full list has the rest.

What is the best web software written in PHP?

We can't tell from here. What suits an editor-heavy marketing site can be wrong for a static documentation site. The list is alphabetical and nobody paid for a place on it.
