The gap between enterprise Linux lifecycles and #PHP extension distribution remains a critical bottleneck for modern infrastructure.

When major LTS distributions land (like Ubuntu 26.04), the upgrade path stalls completely.

The root cause? The lack of an official, native binary repository managed by the PHP Foundation.

#ThePHPFoundation riporta, nel suo report 2025, che 536 tra organizzazioni ed individui hanno donato qualcosa lo scorso anno.
Dove sono le migliaia di sviluppatori, agenzie, consulenti che quotidianamente adoperano PHP per costruire soluzioni per i loro clienti??? Cacciate i soldi!

📢 Ubuntu 26.04 Status Update ⏳

1.5 months post-release, Webinoly is locked, loaded, and ready to ship! However, we are stuck waiting for PHP.

Our ecosystem depends on Ondřej’s PPA, which has unfortunately gone completely silent regarding "Resolute" support.

This delay is entirely out of our hands. We will flip the switch the moment stable PHP packages land. Thank you for your patience! 🛠️

Hello @phpfoundation !

I saw that there is an Open Collective page named PHP Foundation Europe with some admin shared with the PHP Foundation page.

I haven't seen any news about that page (added at the end of 2025), what's the goal here ?

I represent an European company so I wanted to check 😃.

Thanks !

The PHP Foundation — Supporting, Advancing, and Developing the PHP Language

The recent appointment at @thephpf has sparked a vital debate across Reddit, HN, and YouTube: Does PHP need more 'Community Advocacy' or 'Strategic Power'?

Leadership isn't just about voices; it's about creating the industrial-grade infrastructure that Big Tech can't ignore.

How cool is the PHP 8.5 release features page? https://www.php.net/releases/8.5/en.php 😎 very modern and shiny #php #phpc #thephpfoundation #thephpf
PHP: PHP 8.5 Release Announcement

PHP 8.5 is a major update of the PHP language, with new features including the URI Extension, Pipe Operator, and support for modifying properties while cloning.

🥧 I've been a little quiet recently, been working on a new feature to make some of the "bundled" PHP exts available in PIE. The POC is working, but needs polishing. There are potential pitfalls though, such as extensions getting out of sync with your PHP version! #phppie #thephpfoundation #pie #phpc
