Get involved

PHP belongs to everyone who builds with it.

No company owns PHP. It's maintained by volunteers and Foundation-funded engineers — and there's a way to help that fits the time you have.

Fix bugs, propose RFCs, and review patches on the php-src repository. Good first issues are tagged for newcomers.

Every manual page has an edit link. Clearer examples and accurate notes help developers around the world.

Run your application against the next RC and report regressions before they reach a stable release.

Help reproduce bug reports and answer questions on the mailing lists and community forums.

Funding lets core developers work on PHP full-time. Companies and individuals both welcome.

Organize a local user group or conference. We'll help with resources, speakers, and promotion.

Start where you are.

Pick one thing — a doc fix, a bug repro, or a sponsorship. Small contributions compound.
