Using #PHP arrays as pseudo-objects is almost never the right answer. They're less self-documenting, slower, worse on memory, and more bug prone.

There's no such thing as $_PUT in #PHP . One must fake it
$_PUT = array();

I've been dragging a `~/.ssh` directory around with me since at least 2008.
I can probably safely purge these, now, though—right? (-;

I currently have 4 in-flight RFCs for PHP, and one more I'm trying to launch soon. I'm not actually paid for any of this.

In May, I'll be giving what will probably be the first ever PHP 8.6 talk: Piping Hot PHP.
8.5 isn't even cool yet, but 8.6 already has some hot new features. Combining 8.5's pipe operator with the new partial function application capabilities in 8.6 should give us a whole new way to think about structuring code!

🚀 #PHP 8.5 released with major improvements: new URI extension, Pipe operator |>, property modification during cloning, NoDiscard attribute & performance boosts. Built for modern development workflows #WebDev

I just updated 8 libraries I maintain to run on PHP 8.5.
None of them required any changes for 8.5. One had two deprecation nitpicks left over from 8.4 that I'd not previously caught, trivially fixed.
It took me a little over an hour to do all 8, including some other maintenance at the same time.
