SharePoint Integration for PHP Developers
Explore roles requiring SharePoint expertise, where PHP developers build robust integrations between custom applications and Microsoft's collaboration platform. These positions often involve connecting disparate systems, automating workflows, and ensuring seamless data exchange between a PHP backend and SharePoint services.
Core Responsibilities in SharePoint-PHP Roles

Responsibilities include developing middleware to synchronize files, authenticating users against Azure Active Directory, and building custom web applications that interact with SharePoint data. This often means acting as the bridge between a public-facing PHP application and an internal SharePoint document repository.
