Laminas MVC enters security-only in May 2025.
It will be supported until 2028, but a migration is the best solution.
Mezzio is ready for you. We can help !

#Laravel often ignores widely accepted best practices for a long time, and then when it finally adopts them, it presents the change as if it just discovered something new… even though the broader #PHP community has been pointing out the issues for years.
Many devs use Laminas and Mezzio, but unfortunately few contribute behind the scenes. We have stepped up, so you should too!

Call for Contributors

One of the reasons I chose PHP as "my language" back in 2000 was that the documentation was free at php.net, and users could contribute to it, and you could run apache for free.

Competing languages required payment to access their documentation and run their servers.

Today I'm excited about phpc.social on mastodon and phpc.tv as a php video site. They're gonna boost this community through the roof. #php #phpc

We're excited to introduce https://phpc.tv, a community-run video platform by PHP developers, for PHP developers.

No ads, no algorithmic feed manipulation, no "see less often". It's also entirely non-profit and community-focused.

Over 400 PHP-related videos are already available, with more being added. If you create PHP content or know someone who does, we'd love to have your videos in the catalog!

phpc.tv

Videos uploaded by the PHP community.

Dear community, I beg you to avoid reporting AI-generated issues or pull requests, with an extremely verbose wall-of-text description.

Respect your OSS maintainers and be mindful of their time. Make the effort to manually write well thought and concise descriptions.

Vendor lock-in is the most painful downside...

Laravel avg response: ~250ms
Mezzio avg response: ~45ms

Same app. Same 12 routes. Routing + Response emission.

Laravel: 12 invokable controllers
Mezzio: 12 PSR-15 handlers

#Laravel optimizes dev time.

#Mezzio optimizes runtime.

- Minimal bootstrap.
- PSR-15 request pipeline, no magic.
- No ORM unless you add one.
- No global helpers, no facade resolution.
- Handlers are plain objects with predictable lifecycles.

Framework choice = real latency cost.
