Frameworks make system or website development easier, especially for small projects. PHP is a server-side programming language that may be used to develop websites, apps, customer relationship management systems, or other services. It is a popular general-purpose programming language that can be embedded in HTML. Since 2003, WordPress has become a popular framework for creating basic websites. Following that, Laravel was launched in 2011. Let us examine the contrasts and similarities of these two frameworks.
