PHP was an earlier era, and certainly continued (to this day even) to be used, but I was thinking more of the Rails era than PHP's peak, which came earlier.

I don't think Rails/Ruby was ever used more than PHP. IIRC, PHP at its lowest popularity ever is still higher than Rails/Ruby at it's highest popularity ever. The lowest I can recall PHP being at is +-6% (recently). The highest that Rails/Ruby ever got to was <3% (2004/2005/2006).
- DeathArrow 4y agoPHP is still used. I don't know if many new apps are written in PHP, or it is used to maintain the large pool of existing PHP apps, but according to Tiobe, Redmonk, PyPl PHP is still widely used.
