PHP (a recursive-acronym that stands for PHP Hypertext Pre-processor) is a powerful yet simple to learn scripting language for server-side web development. It is available free for most platforms but is most frequently used on Linux servers, especially when combined with MySQL and Apache to form a development environment known as LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

PHP developers are typically involved in the design, build and maintenance of websites and apps with junior roles attracting salaries of around £20,000 to £24,000, as you get more experienced you could see your salary expectations increase to around £25,000 to £35,000, with senior PHP web developer jobs listed for £45,000 or more (salary figures are a guide only). See below a list of PHP developer jobs in London and across the UK offered by a number of employers and recruitment agencies.
