2020 has brought some exciting PHP announcements, including the upcoming release of PHP 8.0. This update will include performance improvements as well as several enhancements (named arguments, union types, attributes, constructor property promotion, match expression, nullsafe operator and JIT).
Earlier this year, Perforce also began offering a new, free Community PHP distribution. The introduction of Community PHP is a positive change for the IBM i market because clients now have more options to move forward with PHP for web and mobile development.
