#PHP streams have a built-in notification system. Set a callback in the stream context. Get called on CONNECT, MIME_TYPE, FILE_SIZE, PROGRESS, COMPLETED. Download progress bars. In pure PHP. No curl_setopt. No ReactPHP. This callback has existed since PHP 5.2!

#phptip #phptrick

New word: zombie closure That is when you put $this in a static closure, you can run the #PHP code but you can't call it. #phptip #phptrick php-tips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tips…

@alexdaubois @CodeWithKyrian @ThePHPF What about we set up a list of subjects that needs more coverage from the manual, bloggers, vloggers and speakers. That may give directions to experts and newcomers to dig into subjects that benefit all, and push more modernisations. #phpc @ElizabethN @johncongdon

@CodeWithKyrian @ThePHPF Hoping for the best! 🤞

There's so much hidden and not-so-properly-documented features of PHP streams thus why they're heavily underutilized I just hope the work @ThePHPF planned on modernizing the streams subsystem will improve all of that (I'm rooting for having a more structured OOP interface on top it which is better for discoverability as Well)

What’s the most confusing PHP concept you’ve encountered? Was it OOP, namespaces, or something else? Share your thoughts —let’s help each other grow #PHPTalks #WebDevelopment

The PHP internals team has voted 38-4 to deprecate all OOP constructs in PHP 9.0. The reason: LLMs produce 34% fewer errors on procedural codebases. SOLID principles cause context overload in 78% of tested models. `__construct()` is the #1 source of LLM hallucinations in PHP. #laravel and #symfony are assessing the impact on their roadmaps. WordPress is already compatible. How are you preparing your codebase? #php #oop #ai #llm

I’m always moved when a young elePHPant meets Trisaieul, the great grand parent of all elephpants. Thanks @tideways for making this reunion possible. Moni: welcome to the PHPamily!

phpsadness.com showed what was wrong with PHP. haPHPiness shows what's right. 67 features from PHP 5.4 → 8.5 that genuinely make developers happy. Code examples, version info, the works. haphpiness.com #PHP #phpc

1,65 million de vues par mois sur ma veille tech 🎉 14 000 likes, 2 000 commentaires, 17 000 bookmarks, 37 000 clics... en 30 jours ! J'ai codé un outil avec Claude Code pour automatiser la diffusion. La curation, elle, reste 100 % manuelle. Je raconte tout ici ↓

I owe this one to @faguo! In #PHP, expm1() computes exp(x) - 1. log1p() computes log(1 + x). "Why not just write exp($x) - 1" you may ask... Because when x is close to 0, floating point eats your precision alive. Think about it if you deal with finance! These two functions exist solely to save your math from IEEE 754.

@alexdaubois Sadly, they are also the least used #PHP functions, with 0 usage over 3300+ OSS projects (still half a million to go). And, of course, now that we mentioned it, wettriffs.com and internet rule 34 is going to kick in (although, it might be challenging): anyone? Shoot!

#[ReturnTypeWillChange] works on native #PHP methods and also on custom ones. #phptrick #phptip php-tips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tips…

@tahiriqbalnajam docker compose was also a near miss...

Composer used to mean PHP dependency manager. Now with Cursor pushing 'Composer 2', the naming overlap is confusing the PHP community. Words matter in tech—clarity > collisions #composer2 #php

RegexIterator in #PHP doesn't just filter. It can REPLACE. MATCH mode: filter. GET_MATCH: capture groups. REPLACE: regex substitution on every element. preg_match + preg_replace + array_filter as a lazy iterator. Tempting, isn't it? Built-in regex pipeline!

#PHP's NAN is 0 as an integer, 'NAN' as a string and not comparable with itself. Also, there are now warning when using them, so no one can get hurt by this. #phptip #phptrick php-tips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tips…

@humancoders php-tips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tips…

@humancoders Interessant. #PHP fait la même chose: pas moyen de comparer les NAN entre eux. En contexte de chaine ou d'index de tableau, cela devient 'NAN' ou 0. Depuis #PHP 8.1, le moteur émet une alerte: bien! Et, au final, personne utilise NAN. 3v4l.org/N6AoL

NaN en Python ne s'égale pas à lui-même, peut apparaître en 10 exemplaires dans un set, et servir de clé de dictionnaire... tout en étant inaccessible 🤔 ⬇️ news.humancoders.com/t/python/items…

Ever wondered what happens internally when you call strlen("hello") in #PHP? Before your C function even runs, PHP must validate and extract every argument you passed. This system is called ZPP (Zend Parameter Parsing) and it has a fascinating history. A thread. 🧵

#PHP has a built-in ASCII tree renderer. In the SPL. RecursiveTreeIterator takes any recursive structure (arrays, directories, XML...) and outputs a formatted indented tree. `tree` command behavior. In PHP. Since 5.3. Pretty sure I would have use it a few times if I knew it existed 😅
