PHP Community @phpc@phpc.social

OK #PHP fediverse.
I might be slightly broken, but having learned #CPP in Uni and then having learned #modernCpp and loving it, I was wondering if the is a #ModernPHP equivalent and what good resources there are to upgrade my knowledge.
Or is it still the same as last i programmed PHP ( when Zend was the new hotness, that i never got started on ), but with more features?

After being favourite'ed a few times by @saramg and finding out that #PHP is alive and kicking, I feel like I want to try to get up to speed on writing modern PHP...
I was supposed to be on vacation dammit!

For a few weeks I'm busy adjusting a big code base to #PHP 8.1 and a new major version of an important package. It feels good to freshen up old code (and use promoted properties, for example).

It takes all my mental strength to keep my fingers off the architecture or improve the behavior along the way. But I know it would lead only to big trouble: with all the #refactoring I did in the past, I learned to follow the rules – don't change internal structure and external behavior at the same time!
