Raw Normal View History

PHP is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language
that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded
into HTML. It is modular, and object-oriented. Much of its syntax
is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific
features thrown in. The language is designed to allow web developers
to write dynamically generated pages quickly.
PHP 8.0 comes with numerous improvements and new features such as
* Union Types
* Named Arguments
* Match Expressions
* Attributes
* Constructor Property Promotion
* Nullsafe Operator
* Weak Maps
* Just In Time Compilation
* And much much more...
