  Sebastian wrote a fantastic piece for the foundation blog around the ecosystem security efforts: https://thephp.foundation/blog/2026/08/19/so-you-received-a-security-report-now-what/ I'd be delighted to hear from you folks what you think we should add to make this a more permanent resource and to hear if this is helpful to you. #php #security

  RE: https://phpc.social/@thephpf/117243434658072637 Delighted to have Daniel help out. It's a lot of diligent and fiddly work that I'm very happy to hand off to someone I trust.

  Today someone asked how to do Python "execute if primary file" approach in PHP. if __name__ == "__main__": main() The first two ideas: if (get_included_files()[0] === __FILE__) { main(); } Which seems the most natural/stable. Other ideas: if (realpath($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) === __FILE__) { main(); } & if (realpath($argv[0]) === __FILE__) { main(); } For /some/ reason, nobody seemed to like my suggestion o...

  In @Tideways News: With #PHP 8.6 having its own branch and first RC release now, we've released our extension with 8.6 support. So if you're using #Tideways to test the performance of upcoming releases or track bugs with it, you're good to go! Even if you don't: Try out the Release Candidate. The best time to fix bugs is before the final release :) https://www.php.net/archive/2026.php#2026-09-24-1 #php86

  RE: https://phpc.social/@packagist/116969590453454422 In the two month I'm doing security scans of PHP projects ( https://thephp.foundation/blog/2026/05/18/announcing-ecosystem-security-team/ ) I've come across multiple repositories with issues in their GitHub Actions. All fixed now. The issues allowed attackers to ship a new releases with arbitrary, hostile code. No required interactions from the project authors. Zizmor reported these issues. It also reports a lot of issues, read the...

  Tried a lot of different options, but #iTerm is still by far my favorite terminal experience. There's an option for everything I want, all use-cases are covered and everything is easily discoverable with a search. It's a delight how a tool can stay so simple and yet be so powerful over so many years.

  RE: https://chaos.social/@kore/116407043984252910 The best piece of writing on building and growing #PHP applications I've read in many years.

A must read for individuals building, and for teams that want to understand each other better. As Software development accelerates, this is more important than ev...

  Giving a small talk about how #PHP8_5 came together from an RM perspective today at the IPC pre event. Highlighting the contributors and reviewers behind the changes and how the work of individuals and that of the foundation shape PHP. https://devm.io/live-events/modern-php-in-practice/#fullstack Edit: Just figured out that's paid access event 😓 , unclear if that will be freely available later on.

  > Shrink PHPStan baseline > 312 lines removed We have a GHA that shrinks the #PHPStan baseline every Saturday. Coming in on Monday there's a PR waiting that removes all fixed issues from the baseline. It's always nice to see what got sorted out during last weeks changes.

  Spend two hours on learning how to update the German #php docs #translation and making my first two PRs: https://github.com/php/doc-de/pull/210 https://github.com/php/doc-de/pull/211 If you ever wanted to learn how to contribute to the translation, but felt it wasn't clear on how to do it: Feel free to reach out, happy to help you get going.

  There are a couple of cases where I feel PHPStan works against me as a developer. With its rules leading to worse code than I'd write otherwise. Or to clumsy workflows. This is a 0.1% case, and in general I'm very happy with it (and the discussions around my pain points have been very friendly and productive!). What I appreciate a lot is how easy it is to tell the tool to leave me alone with the things I don't think add value. It's great when tool authors under...

  Last week Sebastian merged a #[DataProvider] feature I wanted since ... PHP 4? That is finally possible now. 🥳 https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/pull/6526 Should ship in 13.1, in April. Then say hi to: #[DataProviderClosure(self::callableProvider(...))] Inline closures as well! I'm delighted. One of my goals with the two 8.5 RFCs [1][2] on the matter was to enable exactly this.

  #FOSDEM ! 🚄 With one "German Standard Deviation" of 70 minutes of train delay, I'm on my way to Cologne, where things will (hopefully not) get interesting. Hope to see some of you tonight :)

  One of the things I really do enjoy about working at @Tideways@phpc.social is that I get to explore all the PHP frameworks and libraries we instrument in our test suite. While these days other people do most of the work, I still get to see sample applications and see the discussions, updates, and how things work internally. From FrankenPHP to Tempest ( which we just announced support for https://phpc.social/@Tideways/115978386992477446 ). All the cool new things happening in PHP <3
