I'm looking for a Senior PHP Developer position. I'm in NYC, but remote position welcome. I can work with WordPress, Drupal, or Laravel. Got a older PHP system that needs modernizing? I can help with that too. Prefer U.S. timezones (UTC-4 thru UTC-7).

Get in touch.

Hey, folks! I’m looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join my team (API Core) at #Mailchimp.

Some of the things we work on: #PHP, #REST, #OpenAPI, #OAuth2, #APIGovernance, and more.

We are stewards of our public #APIs, and we collaborate with other capabilities teams to ensure APIs are developed according to our standards and processes. You would work directly with me on a daily basis.

This position is in Atlanta or New York.

This is really nice: the PhpStorm team has stepped in to help maintain the Xdebug browser extension: https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2025/03/jetbrains-xdebug-helper/

now that kiki - my super lo-fi wiki/blog/website software - is running pretty darn smoothly, i'd like to think about adding support for weird protocols

telnettable bbs with menuing? gopherspace? gemini?

Do you use VS Code and the PHP Debug plugin to use @Xdebug?

It'd mean the world to us to leave a nice/constructive review:

Critical #PHP RCE vulnerability mass exploited in new attacks

#TIL you can call an object like a function in #PHP.

How a website can grow:

Local php code snippet --> #TinyMVC --> Silex --> #Symfony --> What now?

This time I don't want to write the whole thing myself. #php

The attached shows the long blue pause is the index.php file in an EE7 site. This 'pause' is sometimes over 15 seconds. This happens during page update/create, implying a MySQL issue. Server has loads of spare resources, no errors in MySQL/Apache/PHP. This is random, sometimes it update/create is instant, sometimes delayed.

In the past I would lean on NewRelic to profile these requests, but I am wondering if there is something better or newer?

In more positive news - and yes, it’s a low bar to meet nowadays, there is a critical argument injection vulnerability being exploited in PHP for Windows when running in CGI mode.

Dans des nouvelles plus positives - eh oui, la barre est basse à atteindre de nos jours, il y a une vulnérabilité d'injection d'arguments critique exploitée dans PHP pour Windows lors de l'exécution en mode CGI.

Years ago I created a #php #mysql #comics #database
https://sourceforge.net/projects/madcollector/

DM me If you'd be interested in reviving it.

Success! Build a high performance scalable #AWS #S3 file uploader in #PHP using #ReactPHP for the next versions of the https://www.wyrimaps.net/wow/ map tiles. It only does error files for the CDN. So hitting it now will always show the same image, whatever URL you use. But next up are nearly half a million images. Step after that is to build a UI that lets me select the parts of the map to upload and ignore the rest.

To all fellow Canadian developers. Slap a Canadian flag on your website. Make it easy for people to know you are Canadian. I’ll be doing this later today.

Anyone here familiar with #php or #wordpress? Trying to create a pdf uploader plug-in using PDFshift. To upload a PDF and extract is content into HTML. I'm so close but something keeps breaking.

For the one or two people who saw my toot about LibNoAi a #PHP script to add toxin texts for #AI into my pages, I also made a #WordPress version with instructions for adding and sharing your own razorblades of training to a plugin you can customise the old-school way.

Find it on github: https://github.com/lordmatt/WPLibNoAI

To use it, you should be somewhat comfortable editing text-based code (it is very easy to do). There's a wiki for help.

I wasted a bunch of time trying to figure out why a form on a #WordPress application was not working for some tests. Turns out that `wp_sanitize_email()` doesn't just sanitize but will return empty if it doesn't think the email is valid. So a technically valid email like doe@example would be returned as empty. It was like sanitizing a string with bleach; can't be dangerous if it's empty, I guess. #WebDev #PHP

On a scale from "never to happens all the time", how often do you change model/entity names and have to update the database table in production projects?

I’m thinking about learning French, but don’t have anyone in my life that speaks French. Mostly I’m considering it because worldwide French has a lot of speakers. So it could be eventually useful. I’m in NYC, so Canada is a few hours away.

So I’m wondering …
Do you speak French?
Are you a developer? Are you open to having conversations?

I’m hoping some of you might be willing to have some friendly chats.

Saying "I didn't know that" often refers to a #php feature, that existed for many years. Hopefully not the full 30 years.

I'm trying to set up a #PHP form, and I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that I just don't know how to brain anymore. I can't even figure out how to ask the question to look up the syntax I need
