In 2024, @sovtechfund commissioned four projects for PHP. We are happy to announce the completion of the first project:

Web Services Tool (WST) – a command-line tool developed to test PHP-FPM across different configurations and under production-like loads. This will allow us to recreate reported issues more effectively and confidently provide updates.

The work on the new tool for installing PHP extensions is in full swing.

We had a productive meeting at
@SymfonyCon, and online calls with @derickr, @seldaek, @naderman, @alcaeus, @nicolasgrekas, @asgrim.

See the updated requirements document 👉https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_N 0E9xo3jn9aKrIZHIbTYaY5lXw71BpSO6-it4cRpDo/edit#heading=h.qi4yl6hz8u32

Key design updates:
- Using composer.json for requirements.
- Extension is a Composer package with `ext-php` type.
- For PoC, we'll use GitHub, but later we plan to use http://packagist.org as a registry.
