What happened to PHP?

[mr_try_hard]

I have not seen PHP as a language that I can code in? It’s been several days. What happened?

PHP is an extremely popular language and it’s not going away anytime soon. More than 20% of all the websites are WordPress and Laravel is doing well.

Why can’t we code in PHP when with PHP 8, most of the problems that used to bug PHP have been removed?

I’m a paying member and one of the reasons why I like practicing on Codechef is because of the slowly increasing difficulty level of questions allowed me to practice both my PHP and Python.

Hey @mr_try_hard,

We recently revamped our judge, because of which we had to reduce our set of languages. We will try to add back PHP now within a day or two.

Migration to new judging system

Hi all, We are in the process of revamping our entire judging ecosystem. Due to this migration to new checkers, we will not have Starters for the next few weeks (after the 19th July Starters, which will take place). We will keep you updated on when the contest schedule will get back to normal. Learn and Practice will mostly function as usual: On Practice, these languages will be available: C++, Python3, PyPy3, Java, C, C#, JavaScript, Go, Kotlin, Rust. Other languages will be added over time. …
