PHP is a powerful, diverse, and growing language, and has come a long, long way in 29 years.  There are frameworks for everything.  From testing, deployment, building GUIs and TUIs, running daemons, extension building, and more.  If you can't find something for your use, throw a little C at it.

I will share a brief past, present and future of PHP and show why PHP is my favorite language to work with.  I'll look at some interesting projects and alternative uses of PHP.
