Compatible "with exceptions?" Huh. Didn't realize that. I've been rocking PHP 8.2 for my site since I originally launched it.

Should probably bump to 8.3 as well ... but I don't know what these "exceptions" might include.

Geeking out with C extensions for PHP at is one of the highlights of my month. :-)

Kudos to @derickr for the walkthrough!

Thanks to an amazing session by @derickr at , I have now successfully built my first PHP extension. It doesn't do anything ... but the fact that it works, tests pass, and it extends the functionality of the language is a win I'll take.

Not understanding how to start with extensions has held me back from several ideas I've had percolating since ... at least 2018. It feels so good to be productive again :-)

Stopping to ask this question - What changes are you going through? - is someone everyone should do on a regular basis.

I cannot understate how valuable @vanamerongen's talk tomorrow at will be. If you're on site, you need to be there. If you're not on site, go to phptek.tv and get a virtual ticket.

Your coding skills will be greatly increased by just listening to this content.

Considering the life change reasons that are keeping me away from being at this year, an opening keynote regarding embracing change is ... very well-planned.

Don't beat yourself up over the need to change or embrace a new part of your identity.

Yes. This is a lesson I struggle with.
