PHP discord server tag

https://discord.gg/Hv6ax6cmsE

This is a Discord server that provides PHP server tags.

I agonized over whether to share it on Reddit, worried it might look like promotion.

I ultimately decided to share it because it's a Discord server “dedicated solely to providing server tags, with absolutely no other activity possible.” There is no space to send messages whatsoever, and we have no plans to lift this restriction in the future.

I bought a booster because I wanted to add a PHP tag next to my nickname, but it felt wasteful to use it alone... so I'm sharing it.

Operator nameof. Why it's stalling?

RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/nameof

I would really like this feature so that I can statically reference any method or attribute. It would be extremely handy for frameworks. I could directly check references to the methods and attributes with static analyze, do a lot of refactoring with an IDE and string references wouldn't be an issue.

Is there anyone here with experience moving RFCs forward? What would need to happen for this RFC to start getting traction? This RFC is 2 years old and discussion died out. It doesn't seems that anything will happen in the nearest future.

Carbon 2 to Carbon 3 migration

I recently migrated my PHP application between versions of Carbon (as a part of another migration). What has been very painful is the change of the diffIn* methods.

The $abs parameter existed in both Carbon 2 and Carbon 3, BUT the default changed:

Carbon 2.x:
diffInSeconds($dt = null, $abs = true) // Default: absolute value

Carbon 3.x:
diffInSeconds($dt = null, $abs = false) // Default: signed value

Two questions:
1. I understand that there is a major version change that means that there might be breaking changes. But are there any ideas or explanations why has the default behavior been inverted without any good reference? For example, a parameter name might have changed to indicate this.
2. What would be a correct and the best way to detect such changes during the migrations apart from obvious rtfm and proper testing?

Implementing Type Safety for PHP Arrays

Had a lot of thoughts swirling in my head lately about arrays, and wanted to try some different approaches in contrast to what I've come across. Wrote this article primarily as a brain dump. What are some other approaches better or different that you've come across that should be considered other than generics and SPL?
