PHP Language

We use PHP in OPG services for many years, and it forms the backbone of many of our core services. We favour PHP for its flexibility, long-term support and rich ecosystem.

We have used a variety of PHP frameworks, but most services now predominantly use Mezzio.

Example OPG PHP repositories

Most of our larger applications use PHP:

• opg-lpa, Make a lasting power of attorney
• opg-use-an-lpa, Use a lasting power of attorney
• opg-digideps, Complete the deputy report — uses Symfony as a framework
• opg-sirius, Sirius

All Ministry of Justice repos using PHP
