Is it possible to use Astro in a PHP-based project? I haven't found much explaining how the two work together, so I'm wondering whether anyone has used this setup and what the recommended architecture would be.

Laravel can work well with Astro, and there are starter integrations that help connect the two. You can also keep them as separate applications in the same project and communicate through a REST or GraphQL API.
Yes. A common approach is to use PHP as the backend or API and Astro for the frontend. Astro can fetch data from PHP endpoints, while PHP handles things like business logic, authentication, and database access.
It depends on what you mean by using them together. For a headless PHP CMS, Astro can generate the frontend and retrieve content through the CMS API. That setup is fairly normal, although Astro would not directly execute PHP code.
