HTML parsing has long been a pain point in PHP, especially when dealing with real-world, imperfect markup. This article shows how recent PHP releases change that story, introducing a modern HTML parser that accurately handles today’s web content, robust CSS selector support for element retrieval, and new DOM classes that align more closely with the official DOM specification. We will walk through practical examples in web scraping, content extraction, and HTML transformation, and you will learn how to migrate existing parsing code to benefit from these native improvements.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a new technical standard designed to solve the biggest challenge facing AI agents: their inability to work together. MCP provides a universal "handshake" that allows agents from different providers (like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic) to discover each other's skills, share necessary data, and collaborate on complex tasks. This breakthrough enables true multi-agent orchestration, where specialized agents can hand off sub-tasks automatically, finally paving the way for a "chorus" of cooperative AI.

This article will explore how to be creative with PHP 8 by writing valid code using a minimal number of characters. We'll utilize some of the language's trickiest features like creating arrays from strings, the infinity trick, and Foreign Function Interface to achieve this.

In this in-depth interview, Riccardo Degni outlines how Angular 21 completes the shift to Signals as the framework’s unified reactive primitive while delivering a production-ready zoneless architecture. He details the release’s standout features from Signal Forms and improved template control flow to incremental hydration and the new CLI MCP server. The result is a leaner, faster, and far more modern Angular that sets the groundwork for rapid innovation in upcoming releases.
