web-php VS php-docker

Some of the references: https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/602 - redesign the PHP home page, to make it look more up-to-date with UI/UX trends. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/auto-capture-closure - Short Closures 2.0 https://thephp.foundation/blog/2022/06/30/php-core-roundup-3/ - Detailed report on progress from PHP-foundation collective

I love this idea, and I'm tempting to contribute. I think first of all we need an open database with all manual entries with their initial version, deprecated version and removed version. We also need for all extension based manual entries a field indicating the name of the extension and/or whether they are enabled by default. Using https://github.com/php/web-php we can do a local extraction of this informtion. The UI and search algorithm are less interesting to me, but what you've made seems fine to me.

If you're interested in seeing if you can improve the search facility, the PHP website source is available at https://github.com/php/web-php - the search facility is in search.php and results.php in the repository root. The autocomplete suggestions are controlled by js/search.js. It looks like some related files may also be in the manual/en directory.

Yes, the apache[0] image will do what you want

That's the first I've heard of it, and I like it! I can't tell you the number of trips to php.net to look at argument order for a function. Is it haystack/needle, or needle/haystack? Of course it could turn into the same thing w/ argument names (is it whole_name or full_name?), but I'm going to use it.

Prepare to spend a fair bit of time reading and going back to phptherightway.com and php.net. I've also found this Tutorial from Envato Tuts+ to be quite good.

All I want to do with php is to have a recurring navbar on a website. I don't know what to do next. So far I've tried php.net's manual, w3scchool's tutorial and the set up part of first five recommended php tutorials on youtube. I have also spent hours on stackoverflow, which got me even more confused. The more I read, the less nothing makes sense to me and I don't know where the problem is.

I tried looking at the upgrade from 7.4 to 8.0 docs on php.net but I don't see anything regarding any changes to this function. Any ideas?

Does anyone else have trouble getting into php.net without some human verification page popping up first?

I've gone to php.net probably thousands of times over 15 years and have never seen this. If I saw it, like this user did, I'd be curious.

I would but cannot access php.net because of blue hardware

Not necessarily, a docker image can build from source. In fact, the official PHP docker image is built from source. See https://github.com/docker-library/php/blob/master/8.2/alpine3.18/cli/Dockerfile

. php.net is the official documentation
