New Features in PHP 8.0

[@mathiasfantoni2458]

Very short and concise. I like it.

[@PHPDevelopersTV]

Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Great video, simple and sweet. Keep up the good work.

[@PHPDevelopersTV]

Thank you!

Great summary! I watched a much longer video yesterday, but I found it hard to pick up on and really understand some of the new additions, you've made it a lot more digestable. Personally I'm weak for the new str_-functions, named arguments and the nullsafe-operator. Too bad it'll take a while before I'll actually be able to use PHP 8 in my daily work By the way, the handle for your twitter account on the end of your video is wrong. I would also suggest adding a link in the video description to the text version of this video

[@PHPDevelopersTV]

Thank you for the feedback and for letting us know about the wrong Twitter handle. We'll get that fixed for the next video.

str_ functions you can create yourself :)

Great overview! I’m not a fan of the idea of for auto getters and setters, though.

[@PHPDevelopersTV]

Thanks for the comment! Why not?

[@bitsalt]

If I understood you correctly, you'd like default getters/setters on all class vars. My IDE adds getters/setters in bulk when I want them...but I don't always want them. I believe you'll have code that behaves more predictably when you only expose class vars with intention. There are often instances where a class var has no good reason to be exposed, much less set from outside. Or maybe I misunderstood you. I could appreciate PHP "managing" that in the sense that I can say, "make getters for these vars, make setter for these, make both for these"...something like that.

I like how the trailing comma feels stupid and unnecessary, until you use it and get used to it. It's the best thing :D When you have too many arguments it's better to use and object as the only argument with all the options. Well at least it was until now :)

> I like how the trailing comma feels stupid and unnecessary, until you use it and get used to it. It's the best thing :D Couldn't agree more with you! > When you have too many arguments it's better to use and object as the only argument with all the options. Well at least it was until now :) This is always a bad code smell to us and it screams for refactoring.

[@MaximillianHeth]

@@PHPDevelopersTV Agreed! My rule of thumb is to use no more than 3 arguments tops.

Thanks, this video is direct and objective

[@PHPDevelopersTV]

You're welcome and thanks for the comment!

[@michaelerwin8744]

It feels like Dart.

[@PHPDevelopersTV]

I don't get the reference but thanks for the comment!

[@MaximillianHeth]

@@PHPDevelopersTV He's referring to Dart the programming language.

[@Gideon933]

@@PHPDevelopersTV I am sure he is referring to the named arguments and null safety :). it definitely feels like Dart.

[@michaelerwin8744]

@@PHPDevelopersTV @Max Yes I was referring to the programming language. @Gideon also the Constructor Property Promotion.

[@ChrisIsOutside]

those simple little string_starts_with and ends_with functions will be so handy hahaha it seems so obvious i'm surprised how long it took to get here

[@PHPDevelopersTV]

Us too. :-)
