By Scott Keck-Warren Several jobs ago, when we realized that we needed a new database server, it was a complicated process. We had to write up a lengthy explanation about why we needed the new server along with some estimates on storage growth and usage over the lifetime of the server (which, if we’re honest, were all guesses, and I’m glad nobody called me on them). by Scott Keck-Warren By Oscar Merida Improving code quality requires pushing boundaries.

Magazine › 2024 › Lounging Around with PHP By Scott Keck-Warren As developers, there’s constantly some new and exciting tool, technique, or package that we **should** be learning. If you’re anything like me, every couple of months, you create a new Git repository, install the latest packages, and start on a brand new side project, only to get bored as you have to write a user registration system for the umpteenth time.

By Oscar Merida We’ve been working on an API client and making decent progress while we discover new tools that we can use to improve our development work. If you’ve been following along, you may be asking why it seems we’ve made so little progress in implementing all the functionality available for the API. This month, we look at the progress to date and explain why we’re working at a slower pace.

Magazine › 2024 › HaPHPy Developers By Oscar Merida We covered how to add static analysis with PHPStan in the previous issue to ensure our code is parsable by the interpreter and to make full use of argument and return type hints throughout our application.

By Matt Lantz PHP often gets ignored in a world of compiled binaries and serverless infrastructure running containerized applications. Those of us developing with the latest practices for the last ten-plus years know that PHP has significantly sped up and embraced many cutting-edge features.
