Flow #PHP #Postgresql will support PostgreSql 18 since in relase 0.39.0 💪

flow-php/postgresql

- AST parsers / deparser
- migrations
- query builder covering whole pgsql syntax
- integrations with phpunit / symfony
- AST based paginators / query modifiers

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

Flow #PHP Symfony PostgreSQL Bundle now supports excluding specific database objects from migrator diff generator by custom exclusion policies

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

@SheltonLouisGT I have been attempting to migrate pretty much since last year. Back then it wasn't ready, but @azjezz put insane amount of work into it since then, making it prod ready 💪

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

I migrated entire Flow #PHP into Mago Linter / Formatter / Analyzer.

What before was taking more than a minute now takes 5 seconds.

One tool replaced 3 providing insane performance boost. Since Mago is also very strict it helped me to improve Flow code quality 💪

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

@thomasdijkstra I personally think it's better and stricter - Flow codebase is 6 years old, it holds 50 packages, and I was able to migrate it and at the same time improve code quality

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

@crmdesign8 @azjezz and its also on my list to add into Flow 😁 Already using it in few other places, it's great!

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

Flow #PHP 0.38.0 is out!
It's a technical release that doesn't bring too many new features. Recently I have been mostly focused on moving project to Mago Analyzer (formatter / linter are already there).

More details: https://t.co/mYzCVhkvh1

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

@faguo @azjezz I think mago i stricter than phpstan, but with my codebase size, it's more about performance

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

I migrated Flow #PHP to Mago by @azjezz - for now only linter + formatter (working on static analyze).
Performance gain is mind blowing 🤯
I also moved away from composer scripts towards just - much better DX now!

Never used Mago? You should give it a try!

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

@binaryfire @azjezz I think it's closer to 10x-20x
look at https://t.co/nIWESShTyL

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

@maks_rafalko @azjezz cs-fixer and rector for now, working on replacing phpstan, but Mago seems to be more strict so need to migrate one package at time

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

And now we also have dark/light/system theme switcher 🤩

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

Flow #PHP got a new website for 0.37.0 release!

This time the bright orange and blue colors were replaced with more toned versions of dark purple. Glowing effect around code samples was also removed.

https://t.co/XiAvN4KMN2 new version is up and running.

mdparser 0.3.0 adds two HTML-postprocess flags every CMS asks for: GitHub-style heading IDs, and rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" on every emitted link.

Both off by default. Pure HTML post-pass; AST and XML output unaffected.

@Edmondif143061 yea, it's a similar problem, telemetry is being offloaded to collector, which should be spawned next to the app but... That communication between collector might get chocked 😅

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

flow-php/telemetry (#PHP implementation of #OTEL) faced an architectural issue tied to the php nature (single thread/process).

https://t.co/KzfXGTDAD5 explains how I'm tackling it, without making Exporters blocking

Clickhouse for PHP, now Excel - both are coming to Flow #PHP as adapters for Data Frame 💪

[Ilia @iliaa]

php_excel 2.0.1 is out. A month after the 2.0 launch I went back through the C/PHP boundary and closed every silent failure mode I could find.

INT_MAX narrowing on every index API. NUL-byte truncation in cell strings, sheet names, and license fields. Stale-wrapper segfaults after Book::load(). An open_basedir bypass on Book::loadInfo() and addPictureAsLink().

pie install iliaal/php-excel

[Ilia @iliaa]

php_clickhouse 0.8.1: stable.

A soft fork of SeasClick (stalled since 2020) on top of ClickHouse's official clickhouse-cpp v2.6.1 client. Native binary protocol, modern ClickHouse types, ZTS support, TLS, ~30-40% faster than HTTP clients at high throughput.

Three releases since the 0.6.0 launch six days ago. API gap with smi2/phpClickHouse closed.

Software development with or without LLMs is hard, requires knowledge, experience, ownership, real understanding of the problem.

And code? If that's solved problem why Claude Code repo itself has 10k issues?

[Abhishek B R @abhitwt]

developers job nowadays be like...

[Norbert Orzechowicz @norbert_tech]

@pronskiy @phpstorm I never understood "why php devs are so obsessed with generics". Just go to other languages, deal with generics of generics of generics, experience that the pain.
Abstractions are the hardest thing in software development, generics are just an easier way to create them 🤷‍♂️
