As mentioned by others, PHP today is not the PHP that is still in most peoples heads. For me one of the big advantages is ease of deployment. No docker, no images, no overhead, scp it to any toaster running apache and you are done!


But how do you install dependencies? Is the "it" you're scping a folder structure that includes them?


Dependencies are managed by Composer (like npm, cargo, etc) for more than 10 years now.

https://getcomposer.org


I was replying to the previous comment - how does this relate to that?


You asked how you install dependencies, they answered that question.
