An FBPE is simply a technique, by which a programmer makes sure that a deployment script, whether it be a Dockerfile, a set of Docker Compose files, or any other deployment configuration file, does not contain any concrete references to files, or resources, that are outside of the environment that is to be deployed. Thus, the files must represent a “portable environment” in and of themselves.

It is sometimes necessary to run a legacy application against an older version of PHP in order to start a migration process. The problem is that it’s very difficult to find a platform that still allows for an easy installation of an older version of PHP. This is where specialized stacks, like Linux for PHP (LfPHP), step in. These Docker-based containers allow us to compile almost any version of PHP. In this short article, we’ll be compiling PHP 5.2.17 on Linux for PHP.

Slides of my presentation given at PHP Quebec on the 7th of March 2019. The PHP Async Revolution Is Here and Now! What to Expect of PHP 8: Swoole and Asynchronous Frameworks The next great revolution in the PHP world will be built-in async programming. Start using these new technologies today by using Swoole-enabled frameworks in production, and by using PHP 8's new functionality as it becomes available in development. Join us in discovering these new features that can make most PHP applications run 3X to 10X faster! Indeed, an even faster PHP is ready to run on your computer right now.

The Faster Web is quickly changing the way we think about Web development. The Web has changed considerably in recent years and is now built upon many new technologies: the HTTP/2 protocol, asynchronous programming, PHP tools like Blackfire.io and server monitoring tools like the TICK stack. This book will help you take a deep dive into these new Faster Web technologies and learn how to optimize any Web application by using advanced PHP, SQL, and JavaScript techniques. If you are looking to become such a developer, then this book is what you are looking for.
