Readonly properties can have default values in PHP 8.6, so each role declares its permissions inline without a constructor. #PHP #PHP86

Two critical PHP vulnerabilities, rated 9.2. Their CVE numbers leaked a day before the fix, and some governments took their own sites offline rather than run unpatched. Two weeks of PHP Internals in one episode. Full rundown in the first reply. #PHP #PHPInternals #PHP86

A PHP RFC went to a vote Friday. By Sunday night its author had pulled it, over one no vote from the person who wrote the policy it broke. What's left: when a regex fails, is that your bug, or something you catch? Full rundown in the first reply. #PHP #PHPInternals #PHP86

A PHP RFC went to a vote Tuesday, was winning 4 to 1, and its author closed it inside the hour — over what the one no vote said. Also: the array_str_contains benchmark came back slower than a foreach loop. Full rundown in the first reply. #PHP #PHPInternals #PHP86

🐘 #PHP 8.6 is scheduled for general availability on November 19, 2026. It is in beta now, with feature freeze on September 22 and RC1 on September 24 #php86 #webdev #opensource 🧩 Partial Function Application: call a function with some arguments filled in and get back a closure for the rest. ? marks a single argument, ... stands for all remaining ones, e.g. str_replace(' ', '-', ?). The closure keeps parameter names, types and defaults. The v2 RFC passed 33 to 0 📏 New clamp() function returns a value within min/max bounds and replaces the error-prone min(max()) pattern. Works with any comparable type including strings and #DateTime, throws ValueError if min > max ⏱️ Time\Duration: a final readonly class for lengths of time with nanosecond precision. Factory methods per unit, arithmetic, comparison operators and ISO 8601 parsing, intended as a shared type for core functions 🔒 Readonly properties can now have default values, simplifying get-only interface properties from PHP 8.4. Doc comments can sit directly on function parameters and are exposed via ReflectionParameter::getDocComment() ⚡ New Io\Poll API unifies epoll, kqueue, event ports and WSAPoll, replacing stream_select() for event loops and #async runtimes 🧰 More additions: a built-in SortDirection enum, __debugInfo() on enums, a unified stream error model with StreamException and 50+ error codes, and UriBuilder classes for the URI extension 🛡️ Secure session defaults for new installs: session.use_strict_mode=1, cookie_httponly=1, cookie_samesite=Lax. #Laravel manages its own session cookies, so most apps are unaffected 🌐

PHP is getting a new class for a moment in time: nanosecond-precise, no timezone, leap seconds ignored on purpose. And it can't tell you what time it is. Also: the regex RFC's callback question is settled. Full rundown in the first reply. #PHP #PHPInternals #PHP86

his week in PHP internals: 42 RFC ballots open at once. list() is losing its deprecation vote, a first-time author's pipe operator split the room 8-8, and one vote lasted 18 minutes before its author pulled it. Full rundown below 🧵 #PHP #PHPInternals #PHP86

league/csv warnings on the README page are getting bigger on each PHP version upgrade 😂 😂 #PHP86 #maintenance #CSV @thephpleague

For the 3rd week running, no PHP RFC is in the voting phase. So one contributor went and scanned half a million PHP files to answer a question nobody had asked out loud: what actually IS a PHP identifier? Full rundown in the first reply. #PHP #PHPInternals #PHP86

PHP 8.6 👀 Delegating closures without boilerplate: $underscore = str_replace(' ', '_', ?); Instead of rewriting the whole closure signature. Same opcodes. Cleaner syntax. Better readability. Small change, big DX win 🚀 #PHP #PHP86 #DevLife

#php #php86 grapheme_strrev関数のRFCが可決されましたので、実装に向かいます。 これでSwiftのString.reversed()と同じのができるぞ
