GreyNoise has observed a surge in PHP exploitation activity since late summer — now peaking as attackers deploy cryptominers at scale.

next version of league/uri will come with a specific League\Uri\Urn class in order to handle URN according to RFC8141 #PHP #URI #URN the documentation is already available at https://uri.thephpleague.com/uri/7.0/urn/ comment and feedback will be appreciated. The public can still be changed since v7.6 is not yet released

#PHP conferences japanese mascots/logos are unbeatable though

It needs some more work until it’s “there”, but I think I just figured out how to package a #php CLI application as a #flatpak. This pleases me.

In this update I explain what happened with Xdebug development in the last two months.
GitHub and Pro/Business supporters will get it earlier, around the first of each month.
In the last months, I spend around 35 hours on Xdebug, with 44 hours funded.
Xdebug 3.4
In the last installment I wrote about a problem with Lazy Objects. Since then, a user managed to provide a short reproducible case which illustrates the problem. With that, I managed to fix this specific bug and a related one.
These bug fixes also made it into a new release, Xdebug 3.4.7.
After this was released, a user reported two more bugs (#2376, #2377) with regards to Lazy Objects, so I will have to do more work here for a next bug fix release.
PHP 8.5
Most of the time this month I spent on making Xdebug PHP 8.5 ready, and finalising Native Path Mapping.
I have added PHP 8.5 to the Windows CI test runners, but I am still running into some issue where some tests don't seem to work. I haven't quite figured out why these suddenly fail with PHP 8.5, but not with 8.4.
I did fix a bug with regards to changes in PHP 8.5's glob feature. With PHP 8.5 being released soon, I hope to have this sorted before that release happens.
Native Path Mapping
The Xdebug 3.5.0alpha2 release, that came out at the beginning of October, has the first preview for PHP 8.5, with Native Path Mapping support. Documentation is still missing, as well as a minor issue with mapping on Windows, due to its different path separator (/ vs \\).
Beyond that issue, the native path mapping's basic functionality seems to work.
There are a few minor things to do when looking at the project plan, but these might have to wait for Xdebug 3.5.1 (or later).
Xdebug Videos
I have created no new videos in the last months.
All Xdebug videos can be watched on my channel.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to reach out to me on Mastodon or via email.
Business Supporter Scheme and Funding
On GitHub sponsors, I am currently 41% towards my $2,500 per month goal, which is set to allow continued of Xdebug.
If you are leading a team or company, then it is also possible to support Xdebug through a subscription.
In the last month, no new business supporters signed up.
Besides business support, I also maintain a Patreon page, a profile on GitHub sponsors, as well as an OpenCollective organisation.
If you want to contribute to specific projects, you can find those on the Projects page.
Xdebug Cloud
Xdebug Cloud is the Proxy As A Service platform to allow for debugging in more scenarios, where it is hard, or impossible, to have Xdebug make a connection to the IDE. It is continuing to operate as Beta release.
Packages start at £49/month, and I have recently introduced a package for larger companies. This has a larger initial set of tokens, and discounted extra tokens.
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.
I use the RefreshDatabase trait in all my feature tests, but I ran into an issue with MySQL full-text searches that doesn't play nice with this trait. Here's why it's an issue and how to solve it. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2025-11-04-a-potential-issue-with-full-text-searches-and-laravel-feature-tests
#PHP #microoptimization to fasten parsing resolution in league/uri. I have replaced multiple str_contains calls by a single strpbrk call. Without searching the net do you know what strpbrk stands for 😈

Create modules in seconds with Dotkernel DotMaker. It handles the file consistency and you can focus on your code.

@vgoller The article is not about #C vs #Rust - in that debate there are special factors at play not applicable to higher order languages like #Go, #PHP or #Java.
If you have team familiar with Go and good at Go, go do Go until you hit latencies or garbage collector issues.
While I'm Rust semi-advocate I would recommend anyone Rust for just Rust. There are cases where probably just #Bash is better.
