Otsch (@otsch.codes at bluesky) 👨🏻‍🦰👨‍💻

I'm proud to announce, that after more than a year of development, today I released v1.0 of the @crwlrsoft crawler library! 🥳🚀💪🏻🍾 I also wrote a summary about its best parts for you: crwlr.software/blog/good-reas… For the busy folks: here's the 10 reasons as a 🧵 ⬇ 1/12

@moreyh @LiamHammett Great! Let's do it!

@chrolear @LiamHammett Yea, crwl.io would probably be the best option for me.

HTML5 support in DOMDocument might be my favourite update in PHP 8.4. What's yours? php.net/releases/8.4/e…

@LiamHammett @moreyh That's true, I mostly think in the scraping context, where DOM manipulation isn't really necessary, but also once had a use case where I wanted to do it. Nice package! 👍

Depends on your use case. The Symfony DOM Crawler isn't meant for manipulating and modifying HTML. I built a little package around this to make it much more convenient and intuitive to use while having a compatible interface with the old DOMDocument github.com/futureplc/html… Gotta update this to use the new HTML5 parser in 8.4 now!

@moreyh @LiamHammett This github.com/simplehtmldom/…? I don't really know it, but sounds like the symfony DomCrawler component would have been a better option instead. You could even use crwl.io instead 😜

@chrolear @LiamHammett This is amazing. Now I can ditch simple_html_dom.php

PHP 8.4 just dropped! 🥳🚀💪 php.net/releases/8.4/e… Great release page! Well done! Already added running tests on 8.4 in CI, so all crwlr packages should be ready for the upgrade! 💪🙂

Wow, so many people finally joining bluesky. If you're also one of them: bsky.app/profile/otsch.… 🙂👋

PHPStan 2.0 is here! After three years and tons of releases, we’ve taken PHP analysis to a whole new level. Plus, it comes with a brand new member of the elephpant family you can pre-order today! Here’s what’s new and why I think you’ll love it: 👇🧵

The amount of ads and overlays of all kinds on a lot of sites is just ridiculous! 😔🙄

I've got a few elePHPants to give away again! 🥰 Like 💙 & Retweet 🔄 to win one 🔥 I have several to give away, and will be picking a winner next week! 🙌

Trying PHP 8.4 for the first time today. Already love the new DOM features. Especially natively having CSS Selectors ☺️🫶 I'll also immediately start to make all @crwlrsoft packages fit for PHP 8.4! 💪

@ste_bau I even built another package for working with query strings, that the url package uses. The query-string package also became a dependency of bref, the framework for serverless PHP apps. crwlr.software/packages/query…

@ste_bau Hey Steve, I built a package for this: github.com/crwlrsoft/url It comes with a lot of further neat functionality: * you can resolve relative references against URLs * you can get not only the host name, but also the registrable domain (uses mozilla public suffix list) * ...

In any app that I need to parse URL's in, I always use the same DTO that makes them much nicer to work with than PHP's built-in parse_* functions

Participating in hacktoberfest isn't the same without t-shirt and stickers! 😢

Intuitively I'd prefer to just add an import (/use) for the FQN of a class, in any case by default, but it seems there is no setting to achieve this. Wonder why...do most people prefer the version in the image? 2/2

Just had a discussion on our PHPeople Austria Discord Server about this example in @phpstorm When already using the Bar class, the default behavior seems to be that Quz is used like this (Bar\Baz\Quz) instead of adding another use statement. 1/2

@AshAllenDesign @lara_devs Absolutely enjoyed it! 👍 Keep up the great work, looking forward to future episodes! 💪🙂🍿

@chrolear @lara_devs I hope you enjoyed it? Any feedback for future episodes is super appreciated 😄 And heck yeah! It's such a cool platform 🔥

I've just published the first 2 freelancer interviews! 🎉 You can check them out at: web-dev-freelancing.com/watch Huge thanks to @simonhamp and @peterfox for being guests. I really appreciate you taking time out of your days to do the interviews! 👇 Video links below! [1/4]

Already added the first new feature in v2: Post browser navigate hooks. When using the headless browser for loading, you can now interact with the browser after a page was loaded, before reading the state of the HTML source. #post-browser-navigate-hooks" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">crwlr.software/packages/crawl… 🚀💪

@AshAllenDesign Just listened to it and happy that my profile is still part of @lara_devs 😅💪🏻
