<?php $string = '123a'; $integer = -$string; // warning!
What if you want to convert a #PHP string to the opposite number ? Can you cast (int) and use minus?
Well, can you?

![<?php
function foo() {
print_r(func_get_args());
}
$array = [1,2,3];
// Not possible
// cannot use positional argument after unpacking
//foo(...$array, ...$array, 4);
foo(...$array, ...$array, ...[4]);](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pmfr7lm2pcyj24xhqx6spshb/bafkreigiwk7dm4prtsi3bdjquodscavbvnjfz3o6sbrr2kkjm7qjb3xtdu@jpeg)
<?php function foo() { print_r(func_get_args()); } $array = [1,2,3]; // Not possible // cannot use positional argument after unpacking //foo(...$array, ...$array, 4); foo(...$array, ...$array, ...[4]);
So, ...[4] means unpacking a single value from a #PHP array.
This basically means reading the value itself.
Unless it is useful sometimes...

Closure, constant, #PHP 8.5, parenthesis, ants and cast: what could go wrong, right?

TIL that it is possible to use cast, like (int) or (string) with constants, since #PHP 8.5.

The global keyword imports variables from the outside, and overwrites the local value. Beware, when using it.

I just started the vote on my latest #PHP RFC to improve pack() and unpack() functions. It targets the next version, likely 8.6 as I'm writing this.
Fingers crossed! 🤞

<?php class X { // Some magic happen here } X::foo(); (new x)->foo();
Can a #PHP class have two methods with the same name?
Not with signature overloading, a classic feature, right?
But rather one method static and the other one non-static?

<?php echo intval('1AZ') .PHP_EOL; // 1 echo intval('1AZ', 11).PHP_EOL; // 21 echo intval('1AZ', 21).PHP_EOL; // 31 echo intval('1AZ', 36).PHP_EOL; // 1691 echo intval('1AZ', 37).PHP_EOL; // 0 echo intval( 123, 11).PHP_EOL; // 123 echo intval('123', 11).PHP_EOL; // 246
Do you think that intval() is a boring #PHP native function that turns string into integers?
Well, it does, but it is not boring. Far from it!

Interesting #PHP news and articles on @dailydev.bsky.social : the PHPDev squad.
See you there!

I think that an article about 'How I would do it differently 10 years later' would be great 😀

I had the opportunity to chat with @asgrim.dev yesterday about PHP Pie - the new installer for PHP extensions, intended to replace PECL.
Full interview dropping tomorrow.
It is easy to create a map from a list of object, using #PHP array_column() and the second argument null.
That null represents the whole object, and the third argument is the indexing key.
array_column($list_of_objects, null, 'id');
#phptip #phptrick
php-tips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ti...
Indeed, clone happens AFTER the ->, so the code is cloning the result of the setter, which happens to be the original object itself.
A case of left associativity.
clone $object->property clones the property, not the object.
(clone $object)->property
Same for new
3v4l.org/UHrBS
Also, yes, some precedences are missing in that table. new and clone, for example.
