Despite the fact that many new languages flourish every year, I would not hesitate to say that PHP (besides JS) is one of the safest languages in the world in terms of jobs, and will securely guarantee an enormous job market around the world for much longer than 5 years. Here is why.
儘管事實上每年都會有新的語言在發展，但我還是會毫不猶豫的說PHP（基於js）是世界上最安全的工作語言之一，並且還是會繼續為世界上龐大的工作市場提供安全。原因如下：
PHP adopts new ideas slowly. It may sound as being a weird reason for a programming language to keep up with the contemporary development trends. In fact, what happens is only proven, polished and time-checked ideas find their way into PHP. As a result, it is often said that PHP is always late with introducing what has been used in other languages for some time, but with the benefit that only usable and most demanded subset of new ideas are embedded into PHP. This keeps language very simple, which means a lot of people will prefer it for small and medium projects.
PHP接受新觀點慢。對於程式設計語言來說,保持同時期的發展趨勢聽起來或許很怪異。但事實上，當前僅表明PHP正在探尋著更加優美的（介面）以及時間戳記。這一結果導致了經常會有PHP有時相對於其他語言來說更新更慢的傳言，但其實是可用的與普遍需求的子集會被嵌入到PHP當中。這保證了語言的簡化並意味著大多數人更喜歡用它來開發中小型項目。
PHP has low entry level. This means that it is one of the easiest languages to start coding for newbies ever. Then, once it is adopted by newbies, it often turns out that this language is enough for a lot of people that do not need genius, complex, mathematical and scientific features. Result - they just keep using PHP.
PHP有著較低的門檻。它是開始構建網頁的最容易的代碼之一，許多人並不需要太多數理化，科學化，複雜化的思想來完成（構建網頁），這就使他們還在繼續使用著PHP。
Giants use PHP to make lots of money every day. WordPress, which is made in PHP, is a free framework, but WordPress.com is a commercial WordPress hosting and makes money out of it. Then, there are tens others like it. Then, there are thousands of websites selling WordPress themes and templates. Then there are WordPress commercial plugins, and plugins for those plugins. Now multiply this business volume by number of other big PHP projects, like shopping carts, CRMs, issue tracking systems, web analytics... There should be very devastating processes that last very long (actually for years) before it could be possible to ruin such a successful and giant PHP-based industry.
大型公司每天使用著PHP賺許多的錢，由PHP開發的WordPress(部落格系統)雖然它的架構是免費的，但是WordPress.com是一個以商業廣告盈利的主機，與此同時，還有其他十多家公司像它一樣，數以千計的網站出售部落客題和模板，這些都有部落格的廣告外掛程式。現在這些外掛程式通過捆綁其他大型的PHP項目上像shopping carts,CRMs,issue tracking,web analytics這些網站而巨量增加，除非出現一個持續非常長的毀滅性進展(往往是數年)才有可能去毀滅這一成功而偉大的PHP基礎產業。
Number of programming jobs is raising considerably year by year. So not to worry about the raise of popularity of other languages - in numbers, PHP usage is raising too.
每年相當多數量的編程工作都在增加，所以不必去擔心其他語言開始流行，在數量上PHP也在增加
20/80. Only 20% of features solve 80% of the problems. PHP is exactly those 20% in programming languages that covers 80% of all development needs. There will always be plenty of simple tasks that need to be done cheaply: landing pages, wedding websites, CV websites, websites for downloadable products, prototypes of web applications, simple one-page saas services, and so on. These all are good candidates to be programmed in PHP.
20/80，百分之八十的問題僅僅通過百分之二十的特點就能解決。而PHP恰好就是這百分之二十的程式設計語言來解決所有編程開發的百分之八十。經常會有大量的簡單的問題需要廉價的解決：登入網址，跳轉網址，簡曆網址，下載產品的網址，應用原型網頁以及簡單的單頁面saas服務等。這些都能通過PHP來很好的解決。
Servers accessibility. The cheapest servers / VPS for web projects always support PHP. PHP has one of the lowest minimal requirements to the memory / processor speed.
伺服器更加便捷。最便宜的伺服器/虛擬伺服器在網站項目上通常都支援PHP，PHP已經是佔用記憶體和處理器速度最小的開發語言之一。

In conclusion, a lot of effort, money and time is still being invested continuously into the PHP ecosystem worldwide day by day. PHP developers form a solid layer in the coding workforce; new PHP frameworks, plugins, themes and tools are being developed and businesses are being built around them.
結論就是，每天在世界範圍內眾多的努力，資金以及時間仍舊不斷的投資在PHP的生態系統上。PHP的開發人員在代碼員工中形成了一個可靠的階層；新的PHP架構，外掛程式，主題和工具都正在發展，圍繞著它的產業也逐漸形成。
This strongly indicates that PHP will be there alive for much longer than 5 years and will always be a good means to keep the milk on the table.

 這強烈表明了PHP可以頑強的保持最好的開發語言至少五年以上。
