After seeing the recent post from the xenophobe and an utter asshole creator of Ruby on Rails; are there any non-fash web app frameworks that one can use build out web apps? Like is Elixir+Phoenix LiveView fash-free or do I need to go back to using PHP?
#PHP I've been toying around with hooks lately, and I have mixed feelings about them.
On the one hand, they can be quite handy in certain situations. On the other, the trade-off of losing the readonly modifier for the entire class is a real headache.
For instance, you loose, in memory cache inside your class. Not sure if I like or dislike this consequence. And I am sure they are other things being lost with it
Due to upper management failure we are still looking urgently for a PHP Software Developer in my team @ Starface.com in Karlsruhe, GERMANY (maybe remote).
German language needed.
Check out the listing on the site or dm me.
We'd love to have you.
Edit: Upper management was slow to approve budget and/or slow to give final approval on contract. I don't know details.

No.

Enthusiasm for contributing to #PHP often fizzles out before it has a chance to catch fire. I've proposed a Working Groups RFC to change that. Here's the case for it and how you can help shape it.

Sometimes I truly believe that I have grasped all of the weird semantics of #PHP, and then I discover something so simple that breaks an assumption I had about the language.
I knew that `NAN == X` can return `true`.
I knew that the comparison operators are not transitive.
I *obviously* knew that `"0" == 0` and `"0" == false` return true.
And yet it was *foolish* of me to believe that all instance of `X == false` would give the same answer as `X == null`.
As TIL `"0" == null` is false.
It's been about a month and a half since the layoffs, so it's probably time to start trying to #GetFediHired (ideally in a #consulting capacity):
I'm a staff-level software engineer with ~18 years of experience working with teams of all sizes. #PHP is my go-to, but I'm comfortable across the typical web stacks (and a quick learner).
My specialty is automated testing & code quality, and I've given > 100 talks since 2014.
I'm anti-AI, but good at setting up guardrails to protect against slop.

If you're looking for a nice #sqlite webui, like phpmyadmin, that allows for viewing, editing, optimising and performance profiling. Look no further. Take a peek at my project LiteAdmin. It runs on #php, and contains no external dependencies.
github.com/martijndeb/liteadmi…
It's a project that started because I needed it for my dayjob. It does contain a lot of AI code, and clearly marked as such. If that's not your thing, that's okay. If you think it's a decent project, leave a star, I could use the visibility to get accepted into some awesome lists.

In my (biased) opinion, I think this is one of the more important PHP RFCs proposed in recent years. It establishes a framework for working groups in the PHP project and lays the foundation for project governance.

Does PHP really need asynchronous programming in its core, or should it continue focusing on its proven synchronous execution model?

Well, I just got let go from my job after 2.5years so it’s time to find the next thing.
I have almost 30 years experience with #PHP and for many years was one of the community’s loudest voices about testing and code quality.
I am looking for 100% remote roles where I can use my PHP (with a bit of Python ) skills to help your project get better.
I am eligible to work in Canada and I also have a consulting business so non-Canadian companies could use me.

25 years ago I needed to print an invoice in PHP. So I wrote TCPDF.
109M+ Composer installs. It landed inside Moodle, PrestaShop, Matomo and hundreds more. I once even found its PDFs on NASA's servers. Still a bit surreal.
TCPDF has now reached the end of the road. Its successor is tc-lib-pdf: modular, strictly typed, PHP 8.2+, with proper PDF/A, a real CSS engine, CMYK/prepress and signed PDFs.

Hello all,
Looking for a new job as a software engineer near Lyon, France.
Currently working with PHP as a main language, doing mostly backend work on a Drupal project for the french government.
Keen on working on infrastructure related tasks. Would be willing to consider other programming languages as well, in a backend capacity.

Problem:
"Extract 5 fields from a PDF."
Engineer 2026:
"I built a recursive multi-agent planning architecture with self-reflection,
goal decomposition, memory summarization, evaluator agents,
and adaptive loop termination."
Engineer 2016:
A single #PHP script with a PDF parser finished in 200 ms.
“VibePHP is a next-generation PHP runtime and web server that runs PHP faster* and better*.
“There is no interpreter. There is no compiler. When a request comes in, your PHP source is handed to an AI that reads it, runs it in its head, makes up whatever it needs to (the database, the clock, the network, the truth), and hands back the HTTP response it reckons the code would have produced.
“It is not deterministic. It is not cheap. It is not correct. It is, however, very vibe.”
It only gets better from there!

Since evaluating possible #Mattermost replacements and settling (more or less) on @nextcloud Talk, I realised there basically isn't any #webhook support in the way you usually think of it (create a hook, copy the secret URL, push messages to it). So I made this:
gitlab.com/code-enigma/nextclo…
You just download the script to a 'webhooks' directory in your #Nextcloud deployment, change a few lines and copy the provided #NGINX config to your vhost.
You're welcome! 😎
Are you a developer or system admin? Do you use .env files in any way? If so, I'd welcome any comments you have on my comparison of 15 different parsers - have I missed your favourite? Is something incorrect? Is there a test you feel I'm missing or have got wrong?
Please message me once you've tried envfileparserscompared.rbairwe… (also any web design tweak recommendations would be good - I'm just a backend dev).

I just published a new release of Crell/Serde for PHP, v1.6.0.
Nothing drastic in this release. Mostly cleanup and bug fixing around nulls. But it does now support using an Enum as a type map, which is neat. Get it from your usual Packagist sources.
Thanks to our newest contributors for those fixes! It's great to see more people getting involved.
