#phptek if every user did just one documentation fix a year - what @ramsey calls "light open source contributions"

We would be light-years ahead

@auroraeosrose @ramsey Yes, it is easier for me as a maintainer to just merge a typo fix or a small improvement, than to actually go fix the typo myself is someone opens an issue about it.

And this would fix a bunch of issues :D

Quick question for the masses:

When you use bitwise operators in , with what input types do you use them?

If you have nothing to do and want to read about how PHP behaves with $container[$offset]. I've got some good news, I've got a 6k words RFC that I finally made public to get some initial feedback before going on holiday.
I would recommend a cup of tea/coffee before starting tho :D

So we completely forgot about adding support for marking parameters with attributes in the PHP documentation.

But this is now done and some functions now show that their password parameters are annotated with the #[\SensitiveParameter] attribute!

So I just spent 5h trying to clean up the Spanish documentation of PHP as it was doing some... weird stuff. And now the build fails.

Unsurprisingly considering the 5k outdated files, but if people want to help that would be nice. :)

To-do to fix the build: https://github.com/php/doc-es/issues/68

Tiny rant, I really don't see why we do RCs at this point.

I introduced a bug in http_build_query() in January while doing some refactoring. It only got found 2h after tagging PHP 8.3.0. Probably as the user attempted to use 8.3.0 on their code base.

The fix is trivial, but it will only land in 8.3.1, which in theory should be in one month, but usually due to Xmas is delayed to January.

So yeah, what is the point of us having a 6 months alpha/beta/RC phase if nobody tries them.

@ttomdewit 's lightning talk about mental health is probably the most important talk given at @phpday

For a first time speaker, it was a flawless execution talking about something very important. #phpday23

I'm making some changes to the php.net documentation renderer to try and make the XML we use actually conformant to DocBook instead of our slightly custom version of it.

If it somehow looks strange, let me know.

I kinda need ideas for talks.

Do people want to know something particular about #php?
Be that internals, documentation, whatever insanity or pet peeve that goes through my mind (although that feels more like a regular podcast segment).

I'm all ears! :)

#PHP is the child that just keeps on giving with weird features.

This is peak, ext/xml has been allocating 2 fields in a struct to store a userland callable to call when an unknown encoding is encountered.

But has never exposed a function to set said callable. 🤣

Damn I'm away from internals for 1 day and I miss a massive shit thread.

I am kinda impressed by, new person proposes RFC, people disagree, immediate name-calling, more stomping, leaves by insulting.

Waaaw exhibit A of how not to behave when trying to interact with new people, especially with your full name attached.

I just realised that my #dpc24 talk is up online!

Some more feedback on it would be appreciated, even if I already got some on certain things to improve. :)

Hey #php people! Is there a way to implement an abstract constant? I have an abstract class which implements some stuff for my value objects and a constant IDENTIFIER I would like to enforce to be overwritten by the child classes.

It looks like there was a way in the past by using circular references: https://itecnote.com/tecnote/php-abstract-constants-in-php-force-a-child-class-to-define-a-constant/ but this doesn't work anymore.

Girgias,
@Girgias@phpc.social avatar

@Schrank Have the constant in the abstract parent class be defined as follows:

const CONST_NAME = self::CONST_NAME;

And if the child class tries to use it without redefining it, you get an Error at runtime.

My 8yo: What’s 2 times pi?

Me: Well pi is three-and-a-bit, so 2 times pi would be six-and-a-bit.

Him: Six and two bits.

Me: Yes. Six and a bigger bit.

Him: Can you think of a number in the pi times table that’s a whole number?

Girgias,
@Girgias@phpc.social avatar

@peterrowlett Can you use pi times 0 for a cheeky answer?
