PHP Version Update Breaking Stuff

Whenever I bump PHP to the latest version, something on my site breaks, usually some dusty old plugin. I want the speed boost but NOT the stress. How do you guys handle PHP updates without your site falling apart?

How well do you know PHP?

I've created a PHP quiz with over 500+ questions. This started out as an attempt to compile interview questions. It evolved into a comprehensive coverage of PHP from beginner to more advanced topics. I've tried to make sure most relevant topics in PHP are covered.

Answers have been double checked but if you come across an answer you're unsure of, please let me know. Enjoy!

PHP Quiz

Edit: I've seen the feedback that there are questions here that are not strictly PHP, questions on server setup etc. I'll add a filter to remove these.

Do you write acceptance tests, and if so, what do you use?

We've been using Behat (and its associated language, Gherkin) since like day 1. I've been meaning to check this area of the PHP ecosystem out again and wondering what y'all are using, if you are indeed using them? Do you use behat, or PHPSpec, or some other layer for that?

Built a Self-Refining Content Agent that removes the manual feedback loop

Ever had this experience? You prompt an AI to write something, get back "meh" content, revise your prompt, get feedback, ask for revisions, and repeat. You basically become a supervisor doing the AI's QA work.

What if that process was automated?

Two agents, separate roles. One writes content, one reviews it against your specific rules and gives scored feedback. They loop until the output hits your quality threshold.

How it works:

Your topic/prompt → Writer Agent (creates based on your rules) → Reviewer Agent (scores against rules) → Score >= 85? Done. If not, loop with feedback.

We just published a full tutorial with code examples and real-world implementation tips for Laravel.

If you're working with AI agents or exploring automation patterns, this one's worth stealing for your own work.
