PHP JIT — When It Helps (and When It Doesn't)
PHP 8.0+
1
PHP 8.0's JIT compiler converts hot bytecode to native machine code — significant for CPU-bound code, but minimal for typical I/O-bound web requests.

PHP Preloading — Performance Impact
PHP 7.4+
Quantifying preloading gains: most benefit on large frameworks (5–15%), negligible on tiny apps — how to measure and tune opcache.preload.

Performance advanced
PHP References (&$var)

PHP's file-based sessions acquire an exclusive lock per request — blocking concurrent requests from the same user until the lock is released.
3mo ago
Performance intermediate
PHP Stream Wrappers
PHP 5.0+
PHP's I/O abstraction layer — built-in wrappers like file://, php://, phar://, and http:// let file functions operate over any protocol.

PHP-CS-Fixer vs PHP_CodeSniffer
PHP 7.1+
Two PHP code style tools: PHP_CodeSniffer detects and optionally fixes violations, PHP-CS-Fixer auto-fixes code to match a configured style — both enforce consistent formatting across a codebase.

preg_match() / preg_replace()
PHP 5.0+
1
PHP's PCRE regex functions — powerful but prone to ReDoS if patterns are not carefully constructed.
3mo ago
PHP intermediate
Processes vs Threads
PHP 7.0+ Processes are independent execution units with separate memory; threads share memory within a process — threads are lighter but require synchronisation to be safe.
3mo ago
Concurrency intermediate
Profiling & Benchmarking
PHP 5.0+
1
Measuring where a PHP application spends its time and memory to identify the highest-impact optimisation targets.
3mo ago
Performance intermediate
Property Hooks (PHP 8.4)
PHP 8.4+
