* Title of session: Cool new things in PHP * Session description: An overview of things that were introduced in more recent PHP versions, and which we can use (or soon use) in new MediaWiki code, but which people might have missed. * Username for contact: @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE * Session duration (25 or 50 min): 25 minutes is probably enough * Session type (presentation, workshop, discussion, etc.): presentation, probably * Language of session (English, Arabic, etc.): English * Prerequisites (some Python, etc.): PHP (wouldn’t be interesting for non-PHP developers) * Any other details to share?: Could perhaps be merged with {T331276}. * Interested? Add your username below: ** @jhsoby ** @Muhammad_Yasser_Jazirahly_WMDE ** @Novem_Linguae ** @Ollie.Shotton_WMDE ** @bd808 ** @catrope ** @lcawte ---- I could imagine two styles of doing this collaboratively: collecting everyone’s ideas for things to mention in advance (and then have one person putting together a presentation and holding it), or having people suggest things during the session. Incomplete list of things to mention: - `yield` (not very new, but still useful, especially for test case data providers) - static types (fka type hints) – just a very quick overview: param types, return types, property types - arrow functions - `...` operator: in function declarations, function calls, arrays - named arguments - attributes - constructor property promotion [Modern PHP](https://dnlytras.com/blog/modern-php) (blog post) also seems like a useful resource.
