Nice, I'll save this for later reading after work
What’s New in PHP 8.5? (Release Date + Must-Know Features) | PHP Architect

@nemith Thanks for the tip. I have worked with #Neovim for a long time and am therefore quite familiar with it. However, despite having fewer plugins, it has always been considerably slower than #Vim9. Additionally, the LSP architecture is painfully slow and dependent on other language servers running in the background and listening on UNIX sockets. This is acceptable with gopls. Unfortunately, 90% of my work still involves #PHP and all the PHP language servers are poor. #Intelephense, which I purchased, is even proprietary and was often unable to validate my licence.
I was so frustrated that I gave up on Neovim because it offered me no added value compared to Vim 9. Moreover, 89% of what LSPs do can also be provided by #ctags, without the need for a buggy and slow Node.js Language Server.
#PHP website progress is steady. I've gotten a lot done in the past month, even of much of it was refactoring and rethinking my approach (since I'm still fairly new to the language).
Latest addition was a cookie-based login with token and validator values checked against the database.
Next stop was going to be an administration page with authorization features, but I think I'll add sanitizing input before that, just so it doesn't get lost somehow.
In the tabs vs spaces indent war, I was very much on the side of spaces.
In my later years, I have come to understand tabs as the better of the two (as long as you can configure the size of a tab in everything).
But it feels too late to make the change. Especially as I am a fan of following coding standards. And many have adopted spaces.
Can we go back and make tabs the winner everywhere?
Laravel is constantly improving, but our projects only improve if we use those features. In today's video, I show a feature introduced back in Laravel 8 that makes test suites much faster, and that I still regularly see teams not using. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2025-10-03-video-you-dont-need-to-manually-run-seeders-in-your-tests
@joachim @theshaunwalker I honestly think it's very narrow-minded to claim that #PHP is only about processing requests. Why should that be the case? You can do so much more with PHP, and only thinking about requests would not do PHP justice. PSR-20 is not intended to give you a time. It describes HOW a time can be given to you. And that is the task of the FIG, or rather the PSRs: it's about the how.
If you haven't already, I highly recommend getting tickets to @longhorn.
#PHP conferences in North America have dwindled in recent years; it's vital to support those that remain.
@longhorn is top-notch, run by passionate community members with a great line-up of speakers and sponsors; it deserves the community's support. The people you can meet and knowledge you can gain is well worth the price of admission.
Tickets are available here: https://ti.to/longhorn-php/longhorn-php-2025
Boosts are appreciated. 💜 🐘
I need some help:
I've got php8.3 on a server installed via ppa:ondrej/php
I need to install a pecl extension (specifically excimer) and that requires the php-dev extension.
But it doesn’t seem to be available to me. Why would that be?
(Yes, I did run apt update)

I waste so much time manually reformatting multi-line comments to fit below the right margin ruler... I can't believe that #PhpStorm has the Join Lines command but not the opposite. If it has, I've been unable to find the name, and Google is completely useless nowadays.
