Thinking of PHP as outdated? 🤔 Think again!

Here's a reminder: "Don't say PHP is dead without trying Modern PHP." 💡

This is an ~immediate~ bookmark for me!

I've under-utilized PHP Attributes mostly because I couldn't be bothered to go look up the full list of ones that Laravel offers, so expect to see them more frequently in my code thanks to @christophrumpel.bsky.social 💪

Wow @anthropic.com, I can suggest a great AI to write something more interesting.

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially.

Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

PHP is trending right now 🫠

Laravel custom commands allow you to efficiently create DSLs. For example I want to use Views for my OpenAI prompts. I made a php artisan make:gpt-prompt and it creates a folder in my views with system.blade.php, user.blade.php and schema.json. Now I can call OpenAI::compose(“nameOfPrompt” $data);

Laravel Contracts are awesome:

✅ Explicit dependencies
✅ Better testability
✅ Framework-agnostic code
✅ Clear class responsibilities

Your code, your rules! 🚀

Inspired by @justinjackson.ca’s Laravel starter pack, I’ve thrown together one of Australian Laravel folks!

Want to filter your Eloquent queries without if statements? Use When():

#Laravel #PHP

Did you know? Laravel's dependency injection container is so powerful you can bind interfaces to concrete classes, allowing you to swap entire implementations without changing any code! Just update your binding in ServiceProvider:

app()->bind(PaymentInterface::class, StripePayment::class);
#Laravel

3 reasons I love working with Laravel:

1. `php artisan make:model Entity --all` - instant model, factory, migration, seeder & controller 🚀

2. Eloquent ORM - clean and reusable database models

3. Queue & jobs handling that just works

Thinking of creating a Laravel Facade for PHP Claude github.com/claude-php/c...

Passing a callable to function makes your code so much reusable. #laravel #php #dependancyinjection


$varA = “a”;

function inject($callback) {
$varB = “b”;
($callback)($varB);
}

inject(function ($varC) use ($varA) {
echo $varA . $varC;
});

// ab

I don’t always I feel like I need a new Lambo, but when I do I run laravel new

🔒 Just learned #PHP versions now get 4 years support (2yr active + 2yr security), up from 3! PHP 8.4 will be supported until end of 2028. Love that all versions now end on Dec 31st. Easy to remember!

Every time I need to do something with Laravel, I am always blown away by how good of a framework it is.
