Still using `mysqli_query()` instead of `$mysql->query()`?

The procedural style is quickly running out of favor. Procedural alternatives for OO methods might be become deprecated and ultimately disapear.

I'm proud to announce that the PHP 8.1 RFC: "Auto-capturing multi-statement closures" aka "Multi-line short closures" is now open for votes! 🚀

Let's cross our fingers and hope it passes. ✅

#php developers, if you want to see PHP as a managed runtime for #Lambda, we want to hear from you:
Why do you want PHP?
What frameworks do you use?
What are you doing in the meantime ? (custom runtime, avoiding Lambda)?
Comment or DM me, Please share🙏 #serverless

Ever wanted to make a class final for others, but not for yourself? A new RFC proposes the sealed keyword, which limits inheritance.

🎙 https://t.co/VDPJoG7SO6: server not compromised after all

Last week's breach seems related to the ability to push changes via #HTTPS (which bypasses their gitolite access control infrastructure) in addition to SSH.

#PHP is a truly decentralized community driven project. For each version, two release managers are elected, from the community, by the community.

For PHP 8.1 there are 9 great candidates to choose from.

#PHP has many legacy functions that would never be accepted if proposed today.

In this thread the group is discussing what to do utf8_encode and utf8_decode. Should they be renamed or just removed entirely?

What if the bootstrap of PHP apps/frameworks could be executed before processing HTTP requests?
And without a long-running process (shared memory) like ReactPhp, Amp, etc.
@beberlei has prototyped it in PHP core, I'm really interested to see where it goes: https://t.co/2HwBfPiIxr

Enums in PHP 8.1 are going to be awesome!

PHP is a dynamically typed language with implicit type coercion. Most of these are harmless, but some lead to data loss.

@Girgias proposes to make float to int conversions safer.

.@Girgias is working on a proposal to unify strict_type mode with the non-strict mode.

"PHP compared to other languages has two typing mode in which it can operate, one which is too lax and the other which is too strict."

[PHP externals @phpexternals]

The discussion about namespaces for #PHP core libraries is heating up.

Should SPL get it's own namespace, should we leave them as is, or should the SPL classes and functions move to the top namespace?
