News and Releases

• PHP 7.3.0 alpha 4 - The last alpha in the loop. The first beta release is scheduled for August 2. To the list of new features will be added the recently accepted proposal to introduce new functions array_key_first() / array_key_last() for working with arrays:
  
  

   $array = ['a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3]; $firstKey = array_key_first($array); // 'a' $lastKey = array_key_last($array); // 'c' 

  
  The voting phase passed the proposal of Deprecations for PHP 7.3 , in which several features are declared obsolete. Also, case-insensitive constants will be declared obsolete in PHP 7.3.
  
  As for the proposal on typed properties , it was decided to postpone it until the next version, which is likely to become PHP 8.0.

Php internals

• [RFC] Namespace Visiblity for Class, Interface and Trait — It is proposed to introduce access modifiers for classes, interfaces and traits to limit the use of namespace:
  
  
  Hidden text

   namespace Example { public class A { private $property; } protected class B { public $property; } private class C { protected $property; } } namespace OtherVendor { public class Factory { public function A() { return new \Example\A(); // Allowed by public } public function B() { return new \Example\B(); // Not allowed because // namespace is not shared } public function C() { return new \Example\C(); // Not allowed because // not from same namespace } } }

   use Rayne\Ecoji\Ecoji; $ecoji = new Ecoji; $ecoji->encode("Base64 is so 1999, isn\'t there something better?\n");
