Get Analysis on the State of PHP Support Within Popular Content Management SystemsLeading content management systems (CMSs) like Drupal and WordPress rely on PHP in similar, but differing ways – and, by extension, so do their respective ecosystems. However, there are signs that Drupal and WordPress (for a variety of reasons) are struggling to keep pace with the constant march of the PHP community support lifecycle. Unfortunately, these upstream ripples are causing waves in their downstream ecosystems – with maintainers of plugins, extensions, themes, and modules lagging even further behind their respective CMSs. The worst part is, these issues are causing real headaches for teams deploying mission-critical applications on Drupal and WordPress.So how can teams keep their apps secure despite these challenges?About the Presentation Join Zend Senior Product Manager Matthew Weier O’Phinney and OpenLogic Senior Solutions Engineer Sean Goodner, as they dive in on the state of PHP support within Drupal and WordPress, including discussions on:How Drupal and WordPress ingest PHPThe current state of PHP support within Drupal and WordPressThe impact of Drupal and WordPress PHP support lag on their respective ecosystemsHow companies can keep their mission-critical web apps supported despite these challengesAnd moreNeed Support for Your EOL PHP?Zend can help.
