... continue readingTesting is an essential part of software development. On .NET, we are used to the certain comfort and simplicity of managing our tests, running them, debugging them, collecting reports, profiling, and keeping track of the code coverage, within a single click. Does this work with PHP on .NET as well?
... continue readingThere is a massive amount of libraries and frameworks written in PHP, providing useful functionalities, some even commercially. You may have come across libraries, such as PDF generators, the Twig templating engine, random data generators, etc. Let’s take a look at how to develop the library for both PHP and .NET, so that C# developers […]
... continue readingFor the end of June, we prepared some final cleanups and fixes, improved APIs, and also a bunch of new features. The compiler now handles the majority of publicly available opensource code with no or very few modifications. Also, there are some PHP 8 features available if you’re keen to try them in your code.
... continue readingA major role of a compiler is the code analysis it performs before turning a programming language into machine code. During this process, a variety of diagnostics are performed, which provides valuable insights into the code that’s being compiled. Let’s take a look at what we’ve found when compiling the PHP world.
... continue readingAutoloading is an essential part of PHP applications, required due to the nature of PHP itself. The common standard defined by the “composer dependency manager” is used across the majority of frameworks and components, and as explained on the documentation page, autoloading can eat up as much as 100ms of request time. Let’s have a […]
... continue readingWe stepped on the gas lately and implemented hundreds of little changes and features in the PeachPie platform gearing up for its 1.0 release. What’s new?
... continue readingYou may have come across the fact that we managed to run WordPress on .NET. In this article, we take a look at what’s under the hood and we’ll examine some of the obstacles and the technical solution behind this project.
