PHP Foundation 'under-funded' with one full-time staffer, director says

PHP Foundation executive director Elizabeth Barron said the nonprofit behind the language powering up to 70% of websites has just one full-time employee and 14 mostly part-time contractors. After two serious PHP flaws triggered a global security scare, she called the funding 'incredibly under-funded', noting AI has nearly doubled proposed code changes without a matching rise in contributors.
