Documentation Links

• PHP 8.5: https://www.php.net/docs.php

Conventions

• Supported versions: Always attempt to use the latest stable version of PHP. The current version is 8.5.
• Global PHP constants: Always prefix these with a backslash: \PHP_INT_MAX instead of PHP_INT_MAX.
• Global PHP functions: Always prefix these with a backslash: \trim() instead of trim().
• Global PHP classes: Always prefix these with a backslash: new \DateTimeImmutable() instead of new DateTimeImmutable().
• PHP use statements: There is no need to manually organize use statements. These are usually managed by a linter or code fixer that the developer or a CI/CD system will run.
