PHP RFC ideas and proposals

PHP RFC drafts and ideas

This is a repo where I keep ideas and RFC drafts for changes to PHP.

Discussions are not accepted on this repo and must be held on the PHP internals list. The only PRs that will be accepted are typo and wording improvements, or when I have explicitly requested suggestions.

Note: if an RFC is published it will follow the license of the PHP Wiki.

Script to convert markdown to custom DokuWiki syntax

Use the md-to-dokuwiki.php script to generate DokuWiki text that mostly works without edits from a markdown file.

Future possible RFC ideas

• Meta RFC transform empty into a function
• Remove old DBA handlers
• Deprecate bool to string implicit coercions
• Change exit() to function
• Warn when int to float loses precision + introduce SAFE_INTEGER constant like JS
• Deprecate InfiniteIterator
• Change eval() to a function that can be disabled
• Object serialization overhaul
