It's not clear to me what you're looking for. But you can cast arrays to objects. And you can use type declarations as arguments for functions.

Ok say I have a small class with an options object (I know perhaps not the best design...): class Foo { public function __construct(string $name, array $options) { $this->name = $name; if ($options->enableFlag) { ... I want to declare what $options are, in TS I could do: type TFooOptions = { enableFlag: boolean; userIds: number[]; } Then function __construct(string $name, TFooOptions $options) ... Otherwise how do I…

Not only shipping things faster but testing faster, scaffolding faster, debugging faster ... the tooling for PHP is much more mature than it was 6-years ago and there are so many GOOD packages out there that haven't been forked and copied 20x over. Really happy to be working with it again, even if on the side for now.

I agree. Developer speed does not get enough coverage when comparing languages. When I work with a Node project it's such a slow dragging build process. Using PHP is like a fun superpower that lets me turn out things on timescales that are borderline miraculous to clients and management.

  class TFooOptions
  {
      public function __construct(
          public bool $enableFlag,
          public array $userIds = [],
      ) {
      }
  }

  $options = new TFooOptions(
      enableflags: true,
      userIds: [1,2,3]
  );

  new Foo('Bob', $options);

A Reddit post from a few years ago explains pretty well why PHP has such a terrible reputation: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/5tqoqa/web_devs_wha... PHP should have chosen to undergo a rebranding a few years ago, if you ask me. The stigma it has to deal with is probably unsurmountable and will be forever. If you think PHP, you think WordPress and Joomla, and that means "hacks and vulnerabilities"... It's a…

  if (md5('240610708') == md5('QNKCDZO')) {
    echo "true\n";
  }

The comment on Numeric values is misleading: > Use the _ operator to format numeric values: > $price = 100_10; > // $100 and 10 cents Makes it sound like the underscore replaces the decimal, which it doesn't. The underscores are simply ignored by the PHP parser, so that 10_0.1 === 1_00.1. You could afterwards use PHP to replace the `_` with a comma for display purposes, and I assume that is what they are trying to sa…

  Numbers can contain underscores for readability purposes.
  These do not affect the value of the number, but can help read large numbers
  more easily.

      141592654 # how large is this number?

      141_592_654 # ah, it's in the hundreds of millions!

  Like all `Readability` issues, this one is not a technical concern.
  But you can improve the odds of others reading and liking your code by making
  it easier to follow.
