PHP's best-known mascot started as a logo doodle. Now user groups around the world hand out plush versions of it.

Talks, meetups, docs, and stuffed elephants all count as contributing to a community.

What's one non-code thing you could start this month?

#PHPC tip: add `#[\SensitiveParameter]` and your API keys stop showing up in stack traces.

The trace shows `Object(SensitiveParameterValue)` instead of the token. PHP 8.2+.

Set session.upload_progress.enabled=0 till next PHP release to block an unlikely RCE vector (CVE-2026-115560). Already recommended for CVE-2026-109619 Wed, keep disabled. Only apps with non-default serialize_handler switching it to "php" at runtime can be affected.

If all the govs shutting down servers for a PHP update, all the hosters & enterprises terrified by the vuln, gave $100k, or just $50k a year to the PHP Foundation, things could look very differently. Go, make your employer sponsor *today* thephp.foundation/sponsor/ #php #phpc @thephpf.bsky.social

Myth: PHP lives on a Linux box behind Apache and nowhere else.

I still picture it that way too, and I write PHP every day. My October php[architect] column is about all the places I keep finding it now.

#Laravel tip: `withoutOverlapping()` holds its lock for 24 hours by default. If the server dies mid-run, the task skips until the lock expires.

`php artisan schedule:clear-cache` clears a stuck lock now.

When does your AI coding tool's usage limit catch you?

Mine used to land late morning, halfway through a refactor, every time.

Morning, after lunch, late night, or never?

The weeks I ship the most are the weeks the work was on my calendar before Monday started.

Pick one thing you keep meaning to do every week, give it a fixed slot, and stop deciding each week whether you feel like it.

#PHPC tip: PHP 8.4's `#[\Deprecated]` attribute works on your own code.

Calling it emits a real deprecation notice, which a docblock `@deprecated` never did.

#PHPC tip: PHP 8.4 added `array_find()` and `array_any()`, so the `foreach` + `break` loop can go.

`array_find()` returns `null` when nothing matches. `array_all()` covers the "every item" check.

PHP 8.6 lands November 19. How are you trying it before then without breaking the setup you work in every day?

Docker, Herd, phpenv, Homebrew, a throwaway VM, or "I'll wait for the release"?

I'm using Docker. Curious what everyone else does.

I run every code sample before it goes in a video, a post, or a PR description.

I learned this from comments pointing out the ones I didn't run. Each broken example costs a little trust, and people remember the broken one longer than the ten that worked.
