Pinned toot
If you’re joining us, why not introduce yourself? Tag your toot with #introductions and pin it to your profile.
My history goes back to 2003, when Chris Shiflett launched the phpcommunity.org project. We wanted to provide a hub for the PHP community. We built up a great community on Freenode IRC (we’re in #phpc). Nowadays, @ramsey manages the PHPC accounts & domains and is working to launch a non-profit for the PHP community.
More info here: https://benramsey.com/projects/php-community/
I’ve set up https://phpc.chat as a community chat resource; it’s powered by open source https://Rocket.Chat. I don’t want it to take the place of other community spaces, but you’re welcome to use it for anything related to the PHP programming language, if your project needs a home.
We recently performed a massive purge of spam accounts on this instance, and we've temporarily disabled signups. Many apologies for the inconvenience!
If you have friends or colleagues who wish to join us on phpc.social, you may generate a link to invite them at https://phpc.social/invites.
Let us know if you have any questions!

Here's the list of changes in the new #PHP 8.0 alpha
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-8.0.0alpha1/UPGRADING
Lots of deprecated functions/methods are now removed. Many existing functions behave differently
These are basically breaking changes for anyone still using any branch older than 7.2
“Version 7 is a fresh, faster new vision for PHP. Don't let old opinions, and critics' disgust for their own code written years ago sway you from giving PHP a try.” — @syntaxseed https://dev.to/syntaxseed/the-state-of-php-today-1n2j
The Abolish Narrow Margins RFC has passed, representing the first major change to the PHP project voting process since 2011. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/abolish-narrow-margins

“What the Ã�©Ð”ã° is going on!?” Kevin Smith talks us out of charset hell at this month’s user group meeting.
http://friendsofphp.org has published an open API allowing you to search for and see events for local PHP user groups around the world. They include data from a variety of sources (not just Meetup).

@phpc glad that you ask ;) But seriously, it’s a free and Open Source PHP CMS (https://www.neos.io), for example used to run https://www.1und1.de/ It’s not well known in the America yet, but on the rise here in Europe (we have a Fontawesome icon 😊). And, yeah, full disclosure, I founded it some years ago. But of course, adding the logo only makes sense when people talk about it and know it. So, feel free to add or ignore.

I often get new WordPress work that I don’t have time to take on, but I don’t know any other WordPress developers.
If you know any really great WordPress developers or are one yourself, please let me know so I can send them/you work!

PHP question: It looks like it's possible to "use", and therefore alias, a namespaced constant. Is there any way to do the same thing with a namespaced class constant?
“According to Jenny Wong at WordCamp US, #WordPress is committed to dropping #PHP 5 support by the end of 2019. She also says that the team could aim for a minimum of PHP 7.2 by the end of 2019.”

I’ve got some cool shortcodes for PHP frameworks and CMSes. Let me know if I’m missing your favorite framework or CMS, and I’ll try to add it.

It looks like your favourite PHPdocs might finally come to a git-repository near you in the not too distant future...
