    News and Releases


    • PHP 7.3.0 alpha 4 - The last alpha in the loop. The first beta release is scheduled for August 2. To the list of new features will be added the recently adopted proposal on the introduction of new functions array_key_first()/ array_key_last()for working with arrays:

      $array = ['a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3];
$firstKey = array_key_first($array); // 'a'
$lastKey = array_key_last($array); // 'c'

      The voting phase passed the proposal of Deprecations for PHP 7.3 , in which several features were declared obsolete. Also, case-insensitive constants will be declared obsolete in PHP 7.3 .

    • [RFC] Namespace Visiblity for Class, Interface and Trait - It is proposed to introduce access modifiers for classes, interfaces and traits to limit the use of namespace:

      Hidden text
      namespaceExample {
    publicclassA 
    {
       private $property;
    }
    protectedclassB{
       public $property;
    }
    privateclassC{
       protected $property;
    }
}
namespaceOtherVendor {
    publicclassFactory
    {
        publicfunctionA()
        {
            returnnew \Example\A();  // Allowed by public
        }
        publicfunctionB(){
            returnnew \Example\B();  // Not allowed because // namespace is not shared
        }
        publicfunctionC(){
            returnnew \Example\C();  // Not allowed because// not from same namespace
        }
    }
}
