The PHP Foundation opened its annual call for 2027 contractors, accepting proposals through October 20, 2026 (Anywhere on Earth) for paid work on the PHP core language. It says it wants developers to handle security, review pull requests and submit enhancements and bug fixes, triage incoming issues, support unmaintained or under-resourced core areas and bundled extensions, and collaborate with the wider PHP ecosystem, while noting it does not hire for documentation, userland packages, websites, or translations. Because its fiscal host is the Open Source Collective, applicants must be legally eligible to receive funds from a US-based entity, and the foundation says opening applications does not guarantee new hires.
