@BranchGhost I'm preparing the #PHP86 release day with a presentation @AmsterdamPHP , and I'm starting to wonder how I'm going to make ALL in one hour. SO MANY cool things are in that version!
Myth: a state machine in PHP means pulling in a package.
That's a backed enum and a match with no default, so if you add a case and forget to list it, PHP throws.
#PHP #PHP86 #CleanCode
Two critical PHP vulnerabilities, rated 9.2. Their CVE numbers leaked a day before the fix, and some governments took their own sites offline rather than run unpatched. Two weeks of PHP Internals in one episode.

PHP is getting a new class for a moment in time: nanosecond-precise, no timezone, leap seconds ignored on purpose. And it can't tell you what time it is.
Also: the regex RFC's callback question is settled.

A PHP RFC went to a vote Tuesday, was winning 4 to 1, and its author closed it inside the hour โ over what the one no vote said.
Also: the array_str_contains benchmark came back slower than a foreach loop.

๐ #PHP 8.6 is scheduled for general availability on November 19, 2026. It is in beta now, with feature freeze on September 22 and RC1 on September 24 #php86 #webdev #opensource
๐งฉ Partial Function Application: call a function with some arguments filled in and get back a closure for the rest. ? marks a single argument, ... stands for all remaining ones, e.g. str_replace(' ', '-', ?). The closure keeps parameter names, types and defaults. The v2 RFC passed 33 to 0
๐ New clamp() function returns a value within min/max bounds and replaces the error-prone min(max()) pattern. Works with any comparable type including strings and #DateTime, throws ValueError if min > max
โฑ๏ธ Time\Duration: a final readonly class for lengths of time with nanosecond precision. Factory methods per unit, arithmetic, comparison operators and ISO 8601 parsing, intended as a shared type for core functions
๐ Readonly properties can now have default values, simplifying get-only interface properties from PHP 8.4. Doc comments can sit directly on function parameters and are exposed via ReflectionParameter::getDocComment()
โก New Io\Poll API unifies epoll, kqueue, event ports and WSAPoll, replacing stream_select() for event loops and #async runtimes
๐งฐ More additions: a built-in SortDirection enum, __debugInfo() on enums, a unified stream error model with StreamException and 50+ error codes, and UriBuilder classes for the URI extension
๐ก๏ธ Secure session defaults for new installs: session.use_strict_mode=1, cookie_httponly=1, cookie_samesite=Lax. #Laravel manages its own session cookies, so most apps are unaffected

A PHP RFC went to a vote Friday. By Sunday night its author had pulled it, over one no vote from the person who wrote the policy it broke.
What's left: when a regex fails, is that your bug, or something you catch?

For the 3rd week running, no PHP RFC is in the voting phase. So one contributor went and scanned half a million PHP files to answer a question nobody had asked out loud: what actually IS a PHP identifier?

league/csv warnings on the README page are getting bigger on each PHP version upgrade ๐ ๐

his week in PHP internals: 42 RFC ballots open at once. list() is losing its deprecation vote, a first-time author's pipe operator split the room 8-8, and one vote lasted 18 minutes before its author pulled it. Full rundown below ๐งต #PHP #PHPInternals #PHP86
