Build a PHP Backend for Your SurveyJS Forms
Learn how to connect SurveyJS components to a PHP backend using Laravel. These working examples accompany the PHP integration guide and show the code behind each request. SurveyJS does not include a backend, so use these examples as a starting point for your application.
Run Forms
SurveyJS Form Library displays forms in the browser. Start with a PHP endpoint that saves submitted answers, then add the workflows your application needs.

Commercial
Edit Forms Together
Use when: Multiple authors need to edit the same form in real time.
Run Server-Side Workflows
Use a Node.js service alongside your PHP application to run SurveyJS workflows: validate responses, check form schemas, generate PDFs, and extract answers from documents.
MIT
Validate Responses
Use when: Submitted answers must be checked on the server before they are saved.
MIT
Lint JSON Schemas
Use when: You need to catch broken references and logic errors in form schemas.
