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.

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.

It's only 17 days till our last post for this year. We're still looking for contributors for this year's edition, so if you have something to share, please do get in touch. https://24daysindecember.net/2020/10/30/share-your-story-with-the-phpamily/ #24DaysInDecember
For Cyber Monday, we’re offering PHP 8.0 for free! Go download it today! https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/en.php
All of PHP 7.2 and earlier are now EOL! These versions will no longer receive security updates or bug fixes. It’s time to upgrade! https://php.net/eol.php

Such is the power of Open Source that when https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/ launched in four languages (en, pt_BR, de, and ru), someone stepped up IMMEDIATELY to provide a French translation: https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/fr.php
Note that PHP 7.2 is EOL in 3 days. After that, it will no longer receive security updates from the PHP project team. Upgrade now!

I might have published the @VonageDev PHP SDK v2.7.0 today with PHP 8 support.
Who am I kidding, I totally did.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I was kinda worried that some bit of the php.net website wasn't going to cope well with the new major version number (due to some quirks in our data structures), but it carried on like a champ.
PHP is really good at running really bad code really well.... even when that bad code is the php.net website.
Very special thank you to @pollita and @carusogabriel, #php8 release managers, and to all the contributors who put in countless hours to make PHP 8 possible! 🥳🎉🎊🍾 #php8hype
Today is the day! Go get it! #php #php8 https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/en.php

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

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
