To round out the year, I'm very happy to release my latest song celebrating the fact that the oft-maligned PHP is not pushing up daisies, but is very much alive. I present "PHP ain't dead"!

Reposts appreciated – spread the word!

It's very nice to watch my fitness steadily improving like this. Combining this with losing a little weight, I've almost doubled my power-to-weight ratio 😮. It's ironic that it took a major injury to get me back to this kind of form.

I released PHPMailer 6.9.3 featuring support for the release version of #PHP 8.4. Not far to go to 75 million downloads! packagist.org/packages/php...

This is nicely done. Numbers would be more impressive if they included data from orgs and not just personal stats

In other news, I finally gave in and made a Bsky account... 🦋
Hello everyone!

Nice review from my security talk at the International #PHP Conference in Munich last week: “easily the best talk I attended. lots of small things that are easy to do which will definitely stay with me and in my work.” Thanks to whoever wrote that!
