Type Widening & Covariance/Contravariance PHP 7.4+

PHP's rules for overriding method types in subclasses — return types are covariant (can narrow), parameter types are contravariant (can widen), enforced since PHP 7.4.

Verbose Type Functions PHP 7.0+

Using is_array(), is_string(), intval(), strval() where type declarations, casting, or native operators express intent more concisely and safely.

Storing configuration in environment variables (not source code), loaded from a .env file in development via libraries like vlucas/phpdotenv.

PHP keyword that prevents instantiation and enforces method implementation in subclasses.

3mo ago php intermediate

Array Destructuring ([] = …) PHP 7.1+ 🧠 1

PHP's short list() syntax — [$a, $b] = $arr — assigns array elements to variables in a single expressive statement.

Array Unpacking with String Keys (PHP 8.1) PHP 8.1+

PHP 8.1 allows the spread operator to unpack arrays with string keys — previously only integer-keyed arrays could be spread.

Arrow Functions (PHP 7.4) PHP 7.4+ 🧠 1

Concise single-expression anonymous functions using fn() that implicitly capture outer-scope variables by value.

3mo ago php beginner
