What's new in PHP 8.0

[@TheCodeholic]

Check my video series about building an MVC framework in PHP from scratch: bit.ly/3ogIAia

[@toddzmijewski6002]

This is the problem with all you php kids. Why on gods green earth would you want to promote building an mvc framework from scratch. I can possibly understand using an existing, well known php ecosystem to build a website. However, no one needs to build a MVC framework from scratch. That problem has been solved so many times. Spend less time reinventing wheels and more time improving/contributing to those that already exist.

[@TheCodeholic]

Just watch the first 10 minutes of the video of MVC framework and you will get answer why I build that...

Are you using docker for running both version of PHP? If Yes, can you share your docker setup?

[@fil-el]

@@toddzmijewski6002 I am against on this thinking because time to time there are new frameworks rise somewhere, can they be considered on what you said "existing"? and you confuse of the term "reinventing wheels", does it mean, newborn developer MUST not start from somewhere and remained on current state? The best way to understand is to create your own. Well if you are commission on a 3 months project them chose existing ones but for the sake of learning, don't limit to the word "Don't re-invent the wheel" even Human give birth to new Babies, which means to improved learn from others and start again.

named arguments were added not because you can forget the order of the arguments... the reason is to be able to provide only needed arguments and not specify arguments that have default value for example: public function foo(string $bar1 = 'bar1', string $bar2 = 'bar2', string $bar3 = 'bar3', string $bar4 = 'bar4') in 7.4 if you wanted to change `$bar4` you needed to provide all the previous arguments, but in php 8.0 you can do just that foo(bar4: 'bar5')

[@toddzmijewski6002]

I worked on php for the first 10 years of my career. That is an accurate comparison. I don't know if its fair to contribute it all to the language though. The language prospered in a time of monolith CMS platforms. No other language has really created the same number of large, cms open source platforms. So I think much of dislike is linked through php via way of working on those large cms's which the modern industry has moved away from.

awesome video, thanks for making it. Do you have videos for older versions of PHP as well?

[@TheCodeholic]

I have a video about php7.4 also...

[@tagKnife]

00:40 - 02:56 This is incorrect, you explained what OPCache is, not what JIT is. JIT attempts to generate Native machine code for a peice of code which would benifit from running nativly. Such as math operations or loops etc etc. OPCache and OPCode is not native machine code and still needs to be ran by the Zend engine, JIT'd code completely bypasses the Zend Engine and runs native CPU instructions. This is why the devs say you wont notice any performance increase from JIT if you dont type hint, because for the native cpu to be generated it needs to be strictly typed otherwise you can crash PHP or worse.

[@TheCodeholic]

Thanks for your comment. I made a research before I recorded, I will do better research to find more details about that. I might be wrong...

[@kp3845]

Does this meant if i want to use JIT compilation, i need to have all my class methods use type hint?

Thank you. Putting "php": "^8.0" in composer.json does not mean that PHPStorm or VSCode support PHP8.0 syntax. I have installed latest PHPStorm (which I mention in the video as well). However I am not sure if VSCode extensions support PHP8.0 syntax yet. I have not tested.

[@orzhovthief]

@@gtdmg489 This supports bad coding habits to tackle overload missing support. Just an real world example to avoid lengthy response : you got a function taking 3 args, but first and second are not required. So the function may be called like f(first, second, third) or f(second, third) or f(third) or f(first, third) or f(second). And inside the function there's some weird spagetti testing for each case using actual number of arg passed and type of each one to determine proper cas, then overwrittes args, then proceeds. This is a nightmare to debug, documentation is hard to make and to read. Not speaking of when the return type is mixed and you have to check 10 cases using is_* functions.
