I'm looking into integrating something that can help me capture aggregate, and anonymous error monitoring using Sentry for a distributed WordPress plugin. Obviously this would be opt-in.
Is there someone out there who has actually done this who I can chat with? Looking for some insight on things to look out for, how to approach it, etc.
I am seeking speakers for my @phpugffm & @phpugmrn meetups. We prefer in-person presentations in Frankfurt or the Mannheim area, but remote talks are also an option. If you have anything interesting to share with us, let us know. We'd be more than happy to have you! Thx! #php#phpc#phpugffm#phpugmrn
After the last few things I've learned about #PHP 8.4 by accident I thought why not look into it and see what else there is. So, here's an example of the four new rounding modes PHP 8.4 will introduce to the 'round' function:
PHP_ROUND_CEILING
PHP_ROUND_FLOOR
PHP_ROUND_TOWARD_ZERO
PHP_ROUND_AWAY_FROM_ZERO
I rarely use anything else than 'ceil' and 'floor' in my daily work but this is still good to know.
Charles Fol a présenté la faille #iconv (CVE-2024-2961) à #OffensiveCon le 10/05/2024. On n'a toujours pas de détails. On dirait bien qu'il n'y a pas d'attaques généralisées non plus.
Quelqu'un aurait vu des sites #PHP compromis via ce genre de chose récemment ? Ou pire ?
Had fun this weekend working on a performance focussed proof of concept using Bunny in the #PHP#queue interop contracts. The first metrics are in using the #RabbitMQ cluster on my #Raspberrypi#Kubernetes home cluster. (Which isn't meant for high performance. Still pleased by these numbers.)
Thanks to @jay Bunny #PHP will support client properties in the upcoming 0.5.6 and 0.6 releases. Client properties can be used to set a human readable name to your connection with #RabbitMQ:
📢 Woohoo! Version v6.1.16 of Firefly III has just been released 🎉. Check it out over at GitHub, Docker, or download it using your favorite package manager.
One thing that’s funny about #ai and #programming is I keep hearing the same thing. “Oh I use it for generic snippets, just common tasks and functions”.
The amusing thing about that is when I first started working with a #php app years ago there was already a solution to that problem. It was called “the PHP Cookbook” published by O’Reilly. I was told “oh we buy you a PDF copy and you just search for whatever you are trying to do and use that code. It saves a ton of time for junior programmers.”
Not only was it true, it did save me a ton of time and headaches, but we didn’t need to steal anything. The authors got paid, it worked offline, it didn’t require scraping the entirety of human knowledge to write or nuclear power plants worth of energy to distribute.
It also helped me learn. Since I would have a solid foundation to the solution, I felt more confident experimenting. I always had a known-functioning standard library solution as my base. So when something broke I knew where to start debugging.
Just an incredible thought that instead of paying $20 for a pdf once we decided this was the way to go.
#PHP 8.4 is introducing newing up a class and accessing methods, properties, etc. on it without wrapping it in parentheses first. Another useful feature I will probably use on a daily basis. In my daily work with #Laravel I often need to crawl some content from a website or an API. This feature will make my code a little less cluttered.
