A Field Guide to PHProperties
Larry Garfield
PHP properties are having a golden age. Starting with PHP 7.4, they've become steadily more capable and flexible, and now in PHP 8.4 interface properties, hooks, and asymmetric visibility absolutely blow open the power of properties. So now what? Now that we have all this power, what shall we do with it? Is it really just an edge case benefit, or does it necessitate a rethink of what it even means to model data? Or both? In this session, we'll look at PHP properties, and OOP modeling in general, with fresh eyes to see all that they can, should, and will do to make our lives that much better.

TESTIMONIALS
“
PHP Tek '23 was a wonderful experience. The talks were dynamic and informative, and the community was inclusive, diverse and just plain fun! As someone who is experienced with php but a specialist in other languages, I wasn't sure there would be much for me. I'm happy to say that I was wrong!
