I found a way to set my ZSH_THEME differently in PHPStorm than in the terminal (because I run the IDE in light mode, like a monster, but the terminal in dark mode as intended)

In .zshrc:
```
if [[ -z "$ZSH_THEME" ]]; then
ZSH_THEME="agnoster"
fi
```

Then in PHPStorm, I can specify a ZSH_THEME environment key to set the theme I want.

... doctrine/dbal. illuminate/database. something else? Raw PDO? I dunno.

Current status: Getting php8.0 & extensions installed via macports. I wonder why php80-imagick doesn't exist ...

@ramsey heh, I've got so many things going on at this moment that I didn't see the joke. (Currently rewriting league/oauth2-server to use league/event ^3.0, because I need it)

@ramsey I was manually compiling for testing purposes - I'm not sure if it has landed in macports yet.

Well, Travis still doesn't like PHP 8, even though it has been added to PHP-build. I guess it takes time for all that stuff to percolate through the ecosystem :) Guess that means I'll be intentionally merging with "failing" tests, though.

Success! I finally got php8 + gd to compile on macOS. I had to `sudo port uninstall gd2`, otherwise I guess the libraries were getting entangled and it was confusing the build system.

Oof, the method for Strike 2 is itself a multi-strike. It has another Strike 1. But at least it's not tied to a specific implementation.

I want to unit test a method that is 18 lines long, and there's so much going on that I don't think I can ... at least not in the same repo it lives in.

Strike 1: Internal static array cache
Strike 2: Invocation of a static method to do some work
Strike 3: Hard-coded constant referencing *one* project that it is included from

Diagnosis: Rewrite

Does anyone know of a php8 Docker image with imagemagick enabled that i can use for some CLI tasks? Preferably one of the tags on the official PHP images

Hmm, I've failed to unlock the secret of compiling php8 with gd support on macOS. Using --enable-gd causes complaints of duplicated/differing symbols. 🤷

Maybe "^7.2|^8.0" ... or will someone yell at me for that?

Hmm, I need to replace "php": "^7.2" in a composer.json ... so that it can support 7.2-8.0 ... suggestions?

Yay, make clean did work. But now I need to figure out how to enable openssl 😂

It's the weekend, so naturally I'm up past midnight attempting to compile PHP8 on macos and hitting an obstacle (something about mbstring + pcre was causing an error from ld about symbols not being found .... I dunno. Maybe make clean fixed it? Probably not.)

Wrote a quick blog post about it with a short demo of how it can be embedded into blog posts: https://whateverthing.com/blog/2020/11/22/php-sandbox/
