@PovilasKorop #phptip #phptrick

Simple, efficient and commutative :

min(1, max($value, 0))

@VotrubaT @peterfox I think it may start as a tool, and then moving it to the language will be easier. Many things have to be tested first, and that is easier as an external dev.

#phptip #phptrick

So this is valid code. Is it different from using self alone?

[Rector @rectorphp]

Some code structures are... very creative!

Can you guess what is result of this call?

@timokoerber @laravelphp @php_net @taylorotwell One of the best renderings of elePHPant by ai.

I can see the Laravel values mapped in a lama. Godspeed!

@stayallive @TimB0nd @sentry Im in den Haag. Lets find a moment next week.

[Damien Seguy (@[email protected]) @faguo]

@alexdaubois So, get MUST return the same type as the property itself (makes sense), and the set() may accept another type, as long as it is contravariance, so wider. In practice, with scalars, you 'll need a union type to accept the property type (at least) and another one (and process it).

[Alexandre Daubois @alexdaubois]

A patch I landed in #Symfony 8.1: a property's writable type can now differ from its readable type.

#PHP 8.4 property hooks let a set hook accept a wider type than you read back. I taught PropertyInfo to extract that setter type, so Serializer and Forms know what they're actually allowed to write.

Read string, write ?string. 👀

Astuce : le très bon site https://t.co/89VoFjNlre fonctionne aussi pour ceux qui cherchent de l’ombre !

[Damien Seguy (@[email protected]) @faguo]

@stayallive @TimB0nd @sentry I knew we speak the same language: #PHP 😎🐘

Where can we meet?

[exakat, static analysis for PHP @exakat]

object is a type for arguments, but not for instanceof.

This leads to strange results. And may be a PR.

J ai fini de préparer mes présentations pour le forum AFUP 2026, à Paris, les 8 et 9 octobre.

Vous pouvez donc aller voter sur https://t.co/VzFWiQQTvp pour tous les sujets à couvrir.

Il reste du temps pour soumettre d'ici lundi soir ( 👉 https://t.co/S8x776pzMU).

@dhicking @laravelphp @LaravelLiveUK I just can't take this crap anymore. https://t.co/uFlXOx8uzn The reason people outside of PHP think PHP may be dead is: anytime they see a PHP dev post about PHP they start by debating if PHP is dead or not. This isn't helping, you're actively stopping devs from adopting PHP 😢

[Damien Seguy (@[email protected]) @faguo]

@dhicking @laravelphp @LaravelLiveUK #PHP is immortal !

@stayallive @TimB0nd @sentry Soooo... It's a new generation? 🫣
I might have to preempt @TimB0nd on that one then

[Peter Fox @peterfox]

I have a question for package maintainers! I'm making a guide on this, so I need some real opinions.

What is your best tip for marketing your open source packages?

[exakat, static analysis for PHP @exakat]

One class, two interfaces, one common method: what will #PHP do?

@alexdaubois Another important gain when using enums compared to literal values.

[Alexandre Daubois @alexdaubois]

#PHP doesn't call malloc() for every allocation.

It has its own memory manager: Zend MM.
And it's one of the reasons PHP is faster than you'd expect 👇
