PHP foundation has 1 full-time employee amid severe staff shortage

A nonprofit foundation that supports the open-source programming language PHP is run by a single full-time employee, Reuters reported on Oct. 24. The report followed the discovery this week of two serious security vulnerabilities that put websites in multiple countries on alert, with some European government sites blocked on Oct. 21 to apply patches. PHP is estimated to be used on up to 70 percent of websites worldwide.
