Me (who admins a BUNCH of self hosted PHP stuff for myself and clients and for my consulting team’s internal use): Oh shit!

Also Me: Meh, only affects Windows.

I recommend using PhpStorm - nothing else even approaches it in terms of features and code analysis.

JDubbleu,

I’ve become the primary maintainer of a jumbled mess of a PHP/Laravel project we use as our"mission control" at work and I’ve been dying due to lack of dev tools. Might have to take a look at this (pester my manager for a license) assuming it has Laravel support.

Not sure if natively, but there will definitely be a plugin for Laravel if not.

You can try it for 30 days for free and see for yourself. Or you can always use the early access builds for free.

Jetbrains Phpstorm is probably best in class, but you’ll have to pay for it.

sjpwarren,

I don’t do PHP. But I used other JetBrains tools for Go, Python and Java and they are very helpful. The AI Assistant is pretty good for explaining code. I am not in anyway paid by them. Good Luck

thesystemisdown, in Why PHP Usage Has Declined by 40% in Just Over 2 Years

That article makes little sense. There is not a non-php version of WordPress at this time. I know Gutenberg uses Node and NPM, but the heavy lifting is still PHP. There has always been client side scripting and server side scripting with WP. I’ll buy that devs are lobbying clients to use something else, but to say this is because WordPress is driving the change can’t be right.

Yes, they seem to have WP blinkers on.

It is far more likely that this is from the rise of “sexier” server-side coding languages like Rust. Now I don’t know much about Rust (although I will look into it more) but I a bit of Googling on Rust vs PHP a while back and PHP is still a solid choice for a lot of things and there seem to be a lot more people out there who can code in it, making it a.good choice for FOSS projects.

Here’s hoping you have Docker installed, because Laradock rules. (It’s not just for Laravel.)

If the project is a Laravel project, Laravel Herd just came out. If you’re on a Mac, there’s also Valet. If you prefer a VM, there’s Homestead - a PHP Vagrant config.

As someone who just spent weeks (months?) properly containerizing all his PHP applications with laradock: “Fuck.”

A lot depends on how the PHP site was set up. Does it have requirements? Apache? What version? MySQL? Is it using a framework? Composer, hopefully?

Theoretically all you need is PHP installed. You can run it from the command line with -S… maybe.

More information would be helpful.

gofsckyourself,

Seconded.

Also, what OS are you on?

For Windows, Laragon is super easy and convenient.

Or Devpod might be a good choice, too.

dbx12, (edited ) in Help installing PHP on Ubuntu (Solved. Thank you!)

Looks like your php code is wrong, try this (and just this) for index.php


<span style="color:#323232;"><?php
</span><span style="color:#323232;">phpinfo();
</span>

You also had Test Text1 inside the php block which is a syntax error. Maybe that’s the cause why you don’t get anything.

Edit corrected the filename to lowercase extension.

GardenVarietyAnxiety,

I wiped and reinstalled everything php and apache… It still didn’t work, so I tried your suggestion and simply put

<?php phpinfo();

It works now? And reverting to my original file works too…

I don’t know how, but your idea worked. Thanks~

dbx12,

Great that it worked out, did you use apt remove or apt purge?

You might want to put your code in triple back ticks so it renders as code block :) Currently isn’t visible on some clients (boost for Lemmy in my case)

sloppy_diffuser, in Help installing PHP on Ubuntu (Solved. Thank you!)

I don’t have a solution, but wanted to comment this is a reason to use docker. Instead of tinkering with your host system in ways you’ll probably forget, declare all the steps in a nice containerized system that does one thing: hosts a php website as you develop.

Expose your project through a volume for a mostly seamless file sharing experience between the host and container.

GardenVarietyAnxiety,

I’ve seen a lot about docker, and it looks pretty awesome.

I’ll definitely get to it eventually, I’m just trying to learn the basics for now.

dan, in ActivityPub Server in a Single PHP File
@dan@upvote.au avatar

Seems like decent example code.

Technically any PHP site could be in a single file. You can even embed images if you base64 encode them.

I guess what they mean is a single file with a reasonable size.

Dirk, in ActivityPub Server in a Single PHP File

Again, this is not suitable for any real world use. This is an educational tool

This is a fully usable bot-in-a-box for Mastodon, you say? Thank you! 😇

TWeaK, in Why PHP Usage Has Declined by 40% in Just Over 2 Years

I hate JavaScript, along with the whole of web 2.0 and moving shit around as it loads, making the user wait to input rather than taking the input and processing as quickly as possible, and in general the whole theme of software no longer being designed for the user to use but for the publisher to extract value from the user.

tsonfeir, in Exploring stdClass in PHP
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Holy hell no.

The code you provided could be risky because:

No Data Checking: It directly uses data from an API without checking if it’s safe or correct.

Dynamic Properties: Adding properties to an object on the fly can make the code hard to manage.

External Data Dependency: Relying on API data structure without checks can lead to issues if the API changes.

If you don’t know the data is safe (it’s not), it’s a lot better to use an associative array. Additionally, if it’s from a json, it’s quicker and easier to iterate over array. Don’t make it complicated for no reason.

pivot_root, in Remove "final" keywords from classes and methods in vendor packages with Unfinalize

Final keywords–like locks on a door–are just a suggestion. If someone wants to light a stick of dynamite and play hot potato with it, that’s their own problem. As long as they aren’t wasting upstream dev’s time or publishing packages that depend on this to work, it’s not worth getting upset about.

But exactly this will happen.

hitmyspot, in Help installing PHP on Ubuntu (Solved. Thank you!)

Have you tried a html file to ensure Apache is ok? Or no files and Apache should show a server page.

Also, the test file can just be

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

GardenVarietyAnxiety,

I wiped and reinstalled everything php and apache… It still didn’t work, so I tried to simply put

<?php phpinfo();

as suggested by someone else …and it works now? I reverted my .php file to what I listed in my op and that works now, too.

Oi.

hitmyspot,

Lol, turn it off and back on!

GardenVarietyAnxiety,

Basically, lol
