I'd be interested in sending in a merch message, but am not really interested in buying anything physical due to the high shipping costs to Europe.

I would, however, be interested in getting a floatplane subscription to LTT.

It got me wondering, has LTT ever mentioned anything about a merch-message tie-in where you could send a merch message when subscribing to floatplane during the show?

Copying and pasting my internals discussion into Reddit to generate additional discussion. Externals.io is not currently showing replies to the mailing list thread.

PHP 9.0, likely a few years away at this point, is our next opportunity to make significant breaking changes.

So I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread discussing what breaking changes we might want to include in it, specifically in relation to error handling behaviour both at engine level, and potentially library level.

By discussing and passing RFCs sooner rather than later, end users and library maintainers will have much more advanced notice than if we waited until 8.4 had release

To help inform some internals discussions, we would like to know how people install PHP extensions.

Package Manager: Distribution Repository This would be what your package manager provides out of the box after the OS has been installed.

Package Manager: Third Party / PPA This would be using your package manager, but with a manually configured source such as https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php

PECL This would be downloading, building and installing the extension using the PECL command.

Download / Build Manually This would be where you download the source code via some other process such as

As of version 7.4, PHP supports the preloading of files, functions, and classes (https://www.php.net/manual/en/opcache.preloading.php).

Do you use preloading in your applications?

If you do use preloading, please leave a comment (or upvote an existing comment) explaining how you handle restarting the PHP process after deploying new code.

If you do not use preloading, please leave a comment (or upvote an existing comment) explaining why.
