Who are you?Experiences, usage, etc.


Who am I?Work, experiences, usage, etc.


The Talk!Recap of why you are here...


A small PHP 6Oh no, you didn’t!


In a nutshellmysqlnd, phar, syntax, sqlite3, spl-sauce, speed, etc.


ext/intlInternationalization Extension


Collatorstring comparison, sorting, locale


Numbers...1,000,000; 1.000.000; 1 000 000


ICU☃☕♨♿⚛


More Importantly


L S BLate Static Binding, wtf is that?


NAMESPACES\\\\


NAMESPACES!!!!


Closures & λs


Late-Static Bindingself:: vs static::, what’s that? LSB?


class Base { public static function who() { echo __CLASS__; } public static function foo() { self::who(); }}

class Child extends Base { public static function who() { echo __CLASS__; }}

Child::foo(); // Echoes Base


class Base { public static function who() { echo __CLASS__; } public static function foo() { static::who(); }}

class Child extends Base { public static function who() { echo __CLASS__; }}

Child::foo(); // Echoes Child


$this is not static::Don’t get tricked, no inheritance


Object LifecycleCreate, Immute, Memoize


Referencial TransparencyIt’s not maths, it’s software.


ZzzZz.....


Dynamic StaticsOh that sounds nasty...


$class = 'ClassName';$method = 'methodName';

$class::$method(...);


Remember __call?


__callStatic()


Enough Statics..Moving on.


NamespacesSo we have namespaces, now what?


\Get over it.\We know. \


OrganizeStructural decisions, maintainability


namespace pear\package;class Example { // ...}


use pear\package;$class = new Example();// or$class = new pear\package\Example();


MeaningAnd community significance


The culprit\strlen

PharThe jar-like PHP Archives


include 'phar://package.phar/index.php';


$phar = new Phar('drupal7.phar');$phar->buildFromDirectory(__DIR__ . '/drupal7');$phar->setStub("<?phpPhar::interceptFileFuncs();Phar::webPhar();__HALT_COMPILER(); ?>"


RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /drupal7.phar/$1 [QSA,L]


Running, web-ing Phar magic-happy-times.


λ (Lambda)Assigned to a variable


$name = function() { return 'david'; };


Closurefunctions with bound variables


$names = array( 'Nate Abele', 'David Coallier', 'Cap\'n Crunch' ); $split = array_map( function($name) { list($first, $last) = explode(' ', $name); return compact('first', 'last'); }, $names ); // Result: array( array('first' => 'Nate', 'last' => 'Abele'), array('first' => 'David', 'last' => 'Coallier'), array('first' => 'Cap\'n', 'last' => 'Crunch') )

Stolen From NATE!


$names = array('david', 'nate');$friends = array('helgi', 'joel');

$split = function($name) use ($friends) { //...};


Functors :O


class Name { public function __invoke() { return 'david'; }}

echo $name();


Other things?SPL, changes, NOWDOCS, etc


Fast TernariesNo need to check anymore... Beware


$name = isset($_GET['name']) ? $_GET['name'] : 'No Name';


$name = $_GET['name'] ?: 'No Name';


NOWDOCSNOWDOCS cooler than HEREDOCS


$name = 'david';$example =<<<RTFMHello $name,See you soon.RTFM;// Hello David


$name = 'david';$example =<<<'RTFM'Hello $name,See you soon.RTFM;// Hello $name


PerformanceBetter faster strong. Better stack


Garbage Collectiongc_enable(), gc_disable(), etc.


__DIR__dirname(__FILE__)


__NAMESPACE__


namespace pear\package\Example2 { const TEST = 'In Namespaces...'; function foo() { echo __NAMESPACE__; }}

echo \pear\package\Example2::TEST; // In Namespaces...\pear\package\Example2\foo(); // Example2


E_DEPRECATED


MySQLndNative MySQL Driver, faster, stats, self-contained


DateTimeCrazy amazing dates handling


$datetime1 = new DateTime('2009-10-11');$datetime2 = new DateTime('2009-10-13');$interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);

echo $interval->format('%R%d days');

// +2 days


SPLIterators, Iterators, Iterators.


SPLDatastructures, Exceptions, Misc...
