Some of you heard that "PHP is dead". Is that really true? Well, I've been using PHP for the last 4 years, and believe me it's still alive. A lot of developers still choose PHP as a backend language. It's 2023 and the latest version of PHP was released on November 24, 2022, and it's PHP 8.2. So, on this page, I serve you some amazing PHP Projects with Source Code. It means you can not only browse the descriptions and screenshots of these projects but also download the source code of these projects. And I will charge you $0.00 :)
If you are a beginner and don't know about PHP then it is a scripting language that is mostly used in web development. It stands for Hypertext Preprocessor. But if I tell you a secret then it has another name too. PHP was originally an abbreviation of Personal Home Page in early 1995. There are a lot of jobs (both onsite and online) in the market and the language is going nowhere. If you are thinking of learning this, then I wish you the best of luck.
In the case of PHP projects, this language is used for the backend like interacting with the database and serving the data to the client so that it's displayed on the browser for the end user. Most of the time in PHP projects we use some kind of javascript to request the data from the backend via APIS and then parse that data using JavaScript but for small projects, we can display the data on the browser only with PHP.
Diving into Open-Source Projects
The simplest definition of open-source projects is that anyone can view, modify, and distribute the code. The projects have some kind of license like MIT, GPL, etc. You can use them as it is or you also have the freedom to modify them as you wish. Modifying the project includes re-skinning the theme, adding more features to it and removing any existing features, etc. This page serves you different kinds of PHP projects like project management, ERPs, Ticketing&Support, etc. We regularly add new open-source projects to our database.
If you're delving into open-source PHP projects, you'll find a treasure trove of possibilities. Explore projects like Kanboard, Akaunting, Grocy, Dolibarr, osTicket, Leantime, Kimai, Friendica, RosarioSIS, ClipBucket, BarcodeBuddy, FOSSJobs, KLiK-SocialMediaWebsite, Finance, Blog, Home Accounting System, E-commerce, and PHPVibe CMS. These open-source projects cover diverse areas like project management, ERPs, ticketing and support, and more. For aspiring developers, these projects serve as invaluable learning resources. Freelancers can leverage them as pre-made solutions for clients, offering deployment and re-skinning services. Even non-technical individuals can benefit, finding cost-effective web projects on this platform. If you're wondering how to download these projects with source code, simply click on the download button, follow the GitHub link, and clone the repository to your local environment. Happy coding!
Why You Should Choose PHP for Open Source Projects?
I will start with an example. Suppose you are looking for a free ERP project and there are a lot of languages in which you can find these ERP Projects but why do you prefer PHP over others? Well, I think you should go with PHP due to its versatile popularity and community support. So, during development while working on a PHP project whenever I'm stuck into any error/issue, I search for it on Google and there is a 90% chance that I found the solution. Why is that so? It's because it has vast community support which will ultimately save you plenty of time. The other reason is PHP is easy to learn and work with. The variables are of polymorphic nature and you don't need to worry about their datatypes and the error handling is not frustrating.

Finally, here is a list of some frequently asked questions about PHP.
First of all, click on the download button on any of the cards in the projects listing shown above then you will be redirected to its GitHub repo. On the repo page, click on the code button then click "Download Zip". But instead of downloading that way, I commend you to set up the git in your machine and clone the repo in your local environment so that you can pull the updates by simply running the "git pull" command.
You can find the source code of PHP projects in the PHP files. It has an extension of .php. The file normally stars with "<?php" and closes with "?>"
Finally, save that file and open the project folder on your terminal if you are on Linux or PowerShell/CMD if you are on Windows, then run "PHP -S localhost:8000". Now the project is served on your local server. Simply paste http://localhost:8000 on your browser and hit enter. You are able to view the output there.
