Does Joomla use PHP?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:14 am

PHP is a popular scripting language that is used by Joomla! to power its backend. While this language is not required to create a functional Joomla! site, it does make implementation and customization much easier.

PRO TIP: We would like to warn you that the answer to this question is currently unknown. Joomla is a content management system (CMS) and as such, it likely uses PHP to some extent. However, the exact details are unknown and we would caution against assuming that Joomla definitely uses PHP.

Additionally, many popular extension and plugin developers use PHP to create their offerings, making it the most popular language for Joomla! development.
