Discover the new and updated features of PHP 8, such as the JIT compiler, union types, and attributes, with code examples of each. For each feature, the author includes real-life cases for its use and explains its benefits.

The much anticipated release of PHP 8 brings major features such as JIT (Just-In-Time) Compiler, Union types, (the highly debated) Attributes, Nullsafe Operators, and Match Expressions, to name a few. The JIT Compiler is probably the most talked about feature, in terms of the benefits to the community, although the typical WordPress site or laravel app will most likely not see much improvement. I will explain the expectations that have been debated among the PHP-SRC team later. The long-anticipated addition of Attributes, on the other hand, has left the community with questions of relevant use-case scenarios and syntax focusing on the latter.

The example code featured in this book is used to show both old and new syntax, some of which is specifically pointing out code that will not work. If you are expecting to cut and paste code and see php -l pass, you will be disappointed.
