Don't laugh, but there is an transpiler which allows you to write php and get js. But they probably don't use that but only have an incompetent hr.

Laravel?

Front end web application using PHP to consume a larger API in the backend? Not all that odd tbh.

Wwwwwoooooooorddddpressssssss

@plusgut As much as I defend PHP on here, that just sounds terrible.

I would have definitely applied. Would have gotten the job with fake confidence itself, let alone coding

Good to know that you can use PHP in backend & frontend, just like javascript 😂

Ok from that line, the offer no longer attractive.

From my perspective... Depending on the pay and conditions I would apply.

I currently work in a company which product is mainly an online app and at the same time i am the only developer and everyone else is technology impaired.

I take all the implementation decisions, timetables, work at home...

I have much responsibility and freedom in a weird way...

For everyone else i am like a magician who appears sporadically, solves the issues and then disappears.

Hehe

I once found a project that compiled PHP into native Windows app.
So creating your front end in PHP seems like nothing now! :)
Besides, maybe they code all front end inside an echo command?

Loooool, so they are after a Full Stack Developer not a Frontend Developer. Recruitment consultants are morons in its purest form.

Maybe that company successfully ported the whole PHP interpreter to webassembly.

@bittersweet that sounds impossible and a little bit frightening.

Front-end PHP = websites and CMS frameworks
Backend PHP = scripting / cron jobs / web APIs

?

@kwilliams sometimes business people to frontend to the part which is not behind a login. And backend as the part which is.
