As my career has progressed, I, like many readers out there, have seen the introduction of some game-changing platforms here and there. The field of web development only remains so prominent because of these various shifts in how we do things. Among the recent advancements, WebAssembly (Wasm) stands out as a game-changer, promising near-native performance for web applications.That alonedoesn’t soundlikemuchuntilyou considerthe factthat it’s a VM system running in either thebrowseror an Edge compute instance near you.So, combining it with PHP, a stalwart in server-side scripting, can unlock unprecedented efficiencies and capabilities. by Matt Lantz
Keeping the type hints in argument and return types makes your code easier to understand, describes intents to colleagues, and prevents bugs from sloppy type coercions. If you’re the lead, the responsibility can’t fall on your shoulders alone to make sure your team is being diligent about using them properly. Nor should you be expected to check that code will work properly during code reviews. In this month’s article, I’ll show you why you need to add PHPStan to your project and how to get the most out of it by gradually increasing its scrutiny and documenting your types accurately. We’ll also see how you can extend PHPStan to check for custom rules made to analyze your code and enforce coding practices. by Oscar Merida
So far, we’ve examined some of the attacks for a hacker, as well as some of the thoughts around code—but now, let’s consider Authentication and Authorization: the first layer of defense on any active site. One overriding thought should *ALWAYS* be “don’t roll your own authentication”—in other words, people have spent a long, long time building this out. The examples here are purely informational and should be steps to consider—and should be treated as pseudo-code. by Christopher Miller
The programming language, Hedy, is named after actress Hedy Lamarr. I will first explain Lamarr’s accomplishments in an attempt to find the connection. Next, I’ll examine Hedy, which addresses the need for more computer programming literacy. Finally, I have suggestions for more reading about programmers’ brains. by Edward Barnard

There are many things that need to happen just right for PHP to be vulnerable to a buffer overflow bug. Yet that won’t stop the sensationalized stories about PHP supposedly being insecure. Ironically, this isn’t even a bug in PHP itself but in an upstream library that PHP (and other tools) use. by Eric Mann
Last month, we started our magical journey into the **Dependency** **Injection** land, where we learned important concepts about it and how important it is for modern PHP applications. by Wendell Adriel
