This is great news. One of the things that PHP has been lacking for some time is easy to use secure password hashing. You'll still have instances where developers are either too lazy, forget or don't learn these new methods and the same problems will occur.
It's great to see the PHP team thinking ahead, and I completely understand and agree with why they chose procedural over an object oriented approach to implementing the new functionality: ease of use.
Next step I hope is some kind of native support for web sockets, I'm tired of using third party libraries that don't implement a web socket server correctly. That would be an amazing feature.
- astrodust 14y agoAs much as the PHP team is thinking ahead and working hard, there's a ton of inertia in the PHP community that will take another decade to overcome. The one thing that would help the PHP community immensely is nuking w3schools from orbit. It's like a museum of bad ideas that somehow is the first place people end up when looking to learn PHP.
