Defer for PHP (like in Go)
Never forget to close a file, release a lock, or roll back a transaction again. defer() runs your cleanup exactly when the function returns — even on early return or exceptions.
composer require tito10047/php-defer

Repo: https://github.com/tito10047/php-defer

Y recuerden chicos:

Cuando actualicen sus servidores de Debian 12 a Debian 13 (y en cualquier upgrade grande), apaguen el #Apache antes de actualizar, si no puede pasar que el servidor web siga activo mientras se descarga el módulo #php y se cambia por una nueva versión.

Durante ese tiempo, todo el código PHP del servidor queda expuesto como si fuera TXT, y sí, podemos tener contraseñas ahí dentro.

Version 2.4 of "Famsite", my self-hosted social media site, now features my Faceclick Emoji picker. (I'll be releasing Faceclick itself soon, I just need to finish the README.)

The Emoji picker more than doubled the size of the project, it's over 100Kb now. But hey, you can still fit 10 copies on a floppy!

Also note that 2.1 added the grouping of daily word game result comments, a huge improvement for _my_ family.

Give me true async for PHP 9.0

You should really try to write some #php 5.3 code… trust me, it ain’t fun
in my case, it’s not by choice but current legacy project needs some adjustments

Yet… IMHO this is the best way to realise how far we have come and how blessed we are to have @thephpf, our #phpamily community and all the good minded and hard working #opensource #developers that made this language ready, and continue to do so, for the 50 years to come

Tremendous gratitude

My criticism about #PHP Fibers after two years of implementation:

You will still use #FrankenPHP.

I'm still wishing for PHP to handle async IO like #Golang does, especially when you want a database query or a file processing that will take its sweet time while you do something else.

#Laravel Boost accelerates #AI-assisted development with specialized #MCP tools
