Composer is great — but it is not a magic remedy to solve autoloading performance problems.

In fact, autoloading can slow down large PHP apps like Magento or Laravel by 100 ms + per request.

We share 5 common mistakes and how to fix them (with real profiling data), in our latest blog post.

Thinking about turning on OPcache Preloading in your PHP app?

It sounds like an easy win—but unless your app is already lightning fast, you might not see much benefit.

In our latest post, we dig into:

- What preloading actually does
- When it’s useful (and when it’s not)
- Real-world gains with hard numbers

#[RFC(Voting::started(...))]

https://externals.io/message/126310

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/fcc_in_const_expr

There's a first time for everything, and for me, that was sending an email to internals@ announcing an RFC vote.

As with many things, it's only daunting until you do it. And with @timwolla support, both code and process wise, it was rather approachable to contribute an #rfc to #php

Thanks to #Tideways and @beberlei for supporting us in doing this.

I would like to thank #Tideways (@beberlei and his team) for sponsoring my work on #PHPUnit once again this year:

Delighted by #Tideways recent contributions to PHP core thanks to @timwolla

Now the first RFC that also has my name on it :)

RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/closures_in_const_expr

Discussion: https://externals.io/message/125872

Closures as default parameters and in Attributes.

#[DataProvider(static function () {
yield ['foo'];
yield ['bar'];
})]
public function testEquals(string $string) {
self::assertEquals($string, $string);
}

It would also allow for non-nullable Closures params with default values.

Have a look :)
