I developed and manage an existing site in Drupal 9 (and had done a previous version of the site in Drupal 7, so I have some familiarity with Drupal). The site uses some custom PHP programming to add some functionality that we need for workflow. Now I'm setting up a new webserver (I self-host) and will set up a new version of the website, but I need the ability to add custom PHP code. In Drupal 9 I did this using the PHP Filter Module (the ability to see the blocks of PHP code are limited to certain users via permission roles). My understanding is that this module is deprecated.

Hello everyone,
I often work with Drupal‑based sites and have noticed that documentation contributions tend to lag behind code updates—especially when modules evolve fast. I wanted to open a discussion on how we might streamline this process.
A few observations:
When a module adds a new hook or service, the docs update sometimes happens after community adoption spreads. This leads to confusion for newcomers.
I began exploring Drupal about a month ago after several years as a professional WordPress developer. At first glance, both CMS platforms share similarities: they’re PHP-based, open source, and support modular extensibility. However, under the hood, Drupal operates on a fundamentally different architectural paradigm — one that prioritizes configuration management, dependency injection, and structured data modeling.
I have just started learning Drupal about a month ago. As a professional WordPress developer, I found the initial learning curve both challenging and fascinating. At first glance, both platforms seem similar — they’re PHP-based CMSs, open source, and flexible enough to build almost anything. However, when you dig deeper, you realize that Drupal’s architecture, theming, and configuration system work very differently, offering far more structured and enterprise-level capabilities.
I’ve been looking into Drupal lately and noticed that Drupal 11 is starting to come up alongside Drupal 10. What are the main differences between the two versions?
I’d also love to hear from anyone who has already tried Drupal 11 what’s your experience been like so far compared to Drupal 10?
Thanks in advance, I’m curious to learn from people who’ve actually used both.
