Как в PHP узнать определенна ли переменная (для версии PHP 7.4 и выше)
Шлифуя код своего пакета PHP MultiRunner с помощью статических анализаторов кода psalm и phpstan , столкнулся с интересной загадкой — а как в PHP узнать определена ли переменная или нет. Казалось бы, есть хорошая функция (языковая конструкция) isset(mixed $var, ...$vars): bool . Но в ней есть подвох: если переменная определена значением null, то isset() вернёт для неё false .

Thanks to #AIGoldrush-scrapers, a friend of mine's #php forum is has gone from "a few MB per month" to ~750 GB / month web-traffic! 🤯 🙄 😵💫
Numbers are growing, the more "bots" now know about his forum.
Thanks to FOSS-devs, we can set up Anubis, but I'VE GOT A MILLION OTHER THINGS TO DO! 😡

@rusty__shackleford @shlee @loops No offense, it's subjective. But I do not know many people which would enjoy working in #PHP; in fact it is usually a deal breaker for my peers to work on a project if it's in PHP.
An #alternative which devs I know like is either of #Kotlin/#JVM, #Python, or #Typescript/#Bun.

Xdebug Update: January 2026
Original Post
In this update I explain what happened with Xdebug development in the last month.
In the last month, I spent only around 9 hours on Xdebug, with 24 hours funded. The rest of the time, I spend on building out Xdebug Cloud version 2.
Xdebug 3.5
Most of this month I spent on a few bug and performance reports from the Xdebug 3.5 release — most notable a performance degradation on Windows due to the new experimental control sockets.
I also spent time on my large better code coverage patch, which still isn't quite as performant as the current feature; although it does give more precise results.
Native Path Mapping
Fabian Potencier, from Symfony fame, has created an exploratory patch for Twig to make use of Xdebug's new Native Path Mapping functionality.
From the initial patch, it became clear that a few things need to be improved on the Xdebug side for this to be a complete feature. For that reason, I have created a few issues to work on:
My PhpStorm issue to allow for the setting of breakpoints in template file has now been merged, and is scheduled for 2026.1 EAP 2. At the time of writing this isn't quite out yet, so I will keep you posted.
Xdebug Videos
I have created one new videos in the last month:
All Xdebug videos are now available on the phpc.tv PeerTube instance. This will be the primary location for new videos, although I also still post them to my YouTube channel.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to reach out to me on Mastodon or via email.
Xdebug Cloud
I am currently reworking Xdebug Cloud, the Proxy As A Service platform to allow for debugging in complex networking scenarios.
The new version will allow for automatic subscriptions.
Packages will start at £16/month for one-developer companies.
If you want to be kept up to date with Xdebug Cloud, please sign up to the mailing list, which I will use to send out an update not more than once a month.

Remember when limit() inside eager loading constraints didn't work per parent? Laravel 11 quietly fixed that. Time to retest your assumptions. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2026-02-10-occasionally-recheck-your-assumptions-about-laravel-behavior

🚀 Cut my Laravel API response time by 67%! Here’s what worked:
1️⃣ Eager Loading — stop N+1 queries with with()
2️⃣ Query Optimization — select only needed columns
3️⃣ Redis Caching — cache expensive queries
4️⃣ Indexing — speed up lookups 10x
5️⃣ Job Queues — move heavy tasks off main thread
6️⃣ Chunking — process large datasets in batches
Which one will you try first? ⚙️
