News and Releases

• A new PSR standard has been proposed: HTTP Middleware - At the moment there are many implementations of Middleware components for PHP, but there is no common interface. A middleware interface similar to that used in the Slim framework and also in Relay was proposed. Laravel and StackPHP take a slightly different approach. Anthony Ferrara in his post gave a number of arguments against the proposed interface, and even designed his version in the form of a Tari-PHP package. Also interesting is the author’s response to this post.
