As we’re all about performance, we looked at the new PHP 8.4 feature “property hooks” from the performance point of view. We asked ourselves if it was possible to leave getters/setters behind in favor of property hooks without a performance dip when designing applications. When we tested with an early PHP 8.4 alpha, we were surprised. Read more about the unexpected outcome and why it was essential to test with Tideways in our latest blog post! https://lnkd.in/ewsyz-Gh

🚀 Nullsafe operator is a game-changer, simplifying code and enhancing readability. Gone are the days of tedious null checks! Say goodbye to nested if statements.

New in PHP 8.4 One of the biggest changes in modern-PHP history: the ability to define property hooks, eliminating the need for a lot of boilerplate code. The goal of property hooks is to remove a lot of getters and setters, by allowing each property to define its own get and set hooks. Hooks are optional, and you don't have to add both of them on a specific property. For example, a property with only a get hook is virtual property.

I just released docker-magento 46.1.0! 🐳Ⓜ️ There is currently an outstanding bug with Xdebug 3.3.1, which causes a 502 Gateway Error when it runs alongside the Blackfire PHP extension. Because of this, the PHP 8.1 and 8.2 images have been reverted to Xdebug 3.2.2. Since this version is incompatible with PHP 8.3, the Blackfire extension has been disabled by default in the PHP 8.3 image. This was patched and released in docker-magento 46.1.0. If you wish to use Blackfire with PHP 8.3, please first disable Xdebug by running bin/xdebug disable, and then enable Blackfire with bin/blackfire enable until this issue is resolved. Once the Xdebug but is resolved, we can upgrade Xdebug in all PHP images to that version, rebuild and retag the Docker images, and resolve this ticket.

We can access and modify private property outside the class by using PHP ReflectionProperty. Although it has no practical use case in the real world, we should know and be aware of it. #PHP_short_tips
