Laravel 9 is a major PHP framework release that requires PHP 8.0 or higher and is built on Symfony 6. Released in February 2022, it introduced modern features like Symfony Mailer, anonymous stub migrations, enum route binding, and an improved routes: list console output. It is a long-term support (LTS) release, and while newer versions now lead, Laravel 9 remains a solid, well-understood base and a common starting point for a Laravel 9 to 10 upgrade.
Laravel became popular in 2018 for making PHP development faster and easier with built-in tools and clean architecture. Its security, scalability, and strong community support keep it relevant today. That is why Laravel is still considered one of the best PHP frameworks for modern web applications.
