PHP has a standard library that's just incomparably larger than node's. That explains the number of packages. The size, OTOH, is usually in the same ballpark of a node project. If I import chrome from npm (for testing) in some way (directly or transitional), then node leaps ahead, when not, usually composer takes the lead.
