Upgrade your @laravel.com applications now! 😨 Laravel v12.45.0 (released yesterday) fixes a critical bug: hashed passwords could leak via `remember_{guard}_*`. 🐛 github.com/laravel/framework/releases/tag/v12.45.0 Fully protected now ✅ Thanks @synchrom.bsky.social! 🙏 #php #laravel #security

To round out the year, I'm very happy to release my latest song celebrating the fact that the oft-maligned PHP is not pushing up daisies, but is very much alive. I present "PHP ain't dead"! marcus.bointon.com/php-aint-dead/ Reposts appreciated – spread the word!

It's very nice to watch my fitness steadily improving like this. Combining this with losing a little weight, I've almost doubled my power-to-weight ratio 😮. It's ironic that it took a major injury to get me back to this kind of form.

I released PHPMailer 6.9.3 featuring support for the release version of #PHP 8.4. Not far to go to 75 million downloads! packagist.org/packages/php...

This is nicely done. Numbers would be more impressive if they included data from orgs and not just personal stats

In other news, I finally gave in and made a Bsky account... 🦋 Hello everyone!

Nice review from my security talk at the International #PHP Conference in Munich last week: “easily the best talk I attended. lots of small things that are easy to do which will definitely stay with me and in my work.” Thanks to whoever wrote that!
