PHP rarely appears on its own. 78.9% of these developers also work with JavaScript, and the rest of the common pairings are HTML (66%), Python (53.3%) and CSS (46.7%). Searching for one of those alongside PHP narrows the pool without losing the people who would actually be a fit.
A typical PHP developer in the index made 42 public contributions over the last twelve months across 27 public repositories. That median is the useful filter: it separates people who write PHP regularly from people who listed it once.
121 countries have enough PHP developers in the index to break out separately, so you can start from a location rather than filtering down to one.
