PHP Community @phpc@phpc.social

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.

If you’re on Board Game Arena, I’ve set up a PHP Community group. Feel free to join the group to find PHPers who like board games! #php #boardgames https://en.boardgamearena.com/group?id=7220436

We’ve re-opened sign-ups, but they must be approved, so be patient if you’re waiting on approval. This is how we cut down on spam accounts.

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.

We recently performed a massive purge of spam accounts on this instance, and we've temporarily disabled signups. Many apologies for the inconvenience!
