$GLOBALS used to introduce aliasing complexity in the engine. Because it could reference local variables, Zend had to handle indirect entries (IS_INDIRECT) in certain array access paths. #PHP 8.1 restricted $GLOBALS writes, removing that edge case and simplifying hot paths.

During the last few weeks, the #Symfony core team has been hard at work fixing a long list of vulnerabilities for both #Symfony and #Twig. Today, we're publishing that work in the biggest security patch releases ever. Bare with us and wish us luck 🍀

Passing array by value, and updating its elements. Nothing new, it is the readonly and array_fill() syndrom for arrays. Better know about it. #phptip #phptrick php-tips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ti...

I always thought that the order of properties in a #PHP class didn't matter, but that's not true. It does matter when comparing two instances of the same class. Each property is evaluated one after another in the order they were declared until the first difference is found. 3v4l.org/NTP5c

header_register_callback() registers a function that fires just before headers are sent. After ALL your code runs. After ALL output buffering. Before the first byte goes to the client. Last chance to add headers, and last chance to change the status code! There is no later hook in #PHP than this.

New word: zombie closure That is when you put #$THIS in a static closure, you can run the #PHP code but you can't call it. Just a reminder about static arrow functions. #phptip #phptrick php-tips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ti...

3 strategies to rename parameters in a #PHP method www.exakat.io/renaming-par...

I owe this one to @faguo! In #PHP, expm1() computes exp(x) - 1. log1p() computes log(1 + x). "Why not just write exp($x) - 1" you may ask... Because when x is close to 0, floating point eats your precision alive. Think about it if you deal with finance!

What if you want to convert a #PHP string to the opposite number ? Can you cast (int) and use minus? Well, can you? #phptip #phptrick php-tips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ti...

So, ...[4] means unpacking a single value from a #PHP array. This basically means reading the value itself. Unless it is useful sometimes... #phptip #phptrick php-tips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ti...
