phpBB (https://www.phpbb.com/) phpBB, short for "PHP Bulletin Board," is a popular open-source forum software written in PHP scripting language.

We go old school baby 😎. A 90s solution for 90s bikes.

Explore going extremely old school with your own phpBB community. Can't enshittify a forum that exists outside of time and space!

No. It’s based on phpBB.

I have not tried this one, but Postmill [1] is similar to HN and phpBB [2] is an off the shelf forum platform with incredible moderator capabilities but I think an add-on is required for voting.

Just like this is a phpBB forum: https://forum.ubuntu-it.org/ and this is the software behind it: https://www.phpbb.com/

Let's have a look at the class EventSourceHttpClient and try to use it in Symfony\Component\Webhook\Server\Transport. It's an entirely hypothetical example to illustrate the point.

Symfony is an open-source PHP framework developed by SensioLabs which has a thriving community of over 300,000 developers with 29k stars and 9.4k forks on GitHub. It provides a set of reusable PHP components and a development methodology for building complex and scalable web applications. It is recommended due to its advanced features and user-friendly environment. The user can also develop microservices.

Would be great to see for https://github.com/symfony/symfony, thanks! As that's a monorepo it may provide a challenge to the tool.

As Shopware is mostly based on the Symfony framework, which is in turn based on the PHP language, we should also consider learning about the basics, which will also be useful for other frameworks apart from Shopware, like Symfonycasts, symfony.com, php.net.

Use PHP frameworks such as Symfony. It cares about all the stuff.

It caused much of the internal of Drupal to be re-written. This included how it was extended. With previous major versions you learned about new features and APIs. They followed mostly existing design patterns so it was easy to learn and updates your extensions for. With Symfony you had to learn whole new systems and ways of doing things. It was like learning something entirely new. And, porting extensions to it was far more work and time.

Also, the updates made Drupal slower while consuming far more system resources for the same thing. This increased costs to operate.

Internally, the kernel executes a controller, that is a callable, passing it an array of arguments. For each of these arguments, Symfony calculates its value using services that implement the ValueResolverInterface1.

Drupal is one of the content management systems aka CMS. It has long history and good stability, which is based on PHP and Symfony.
