  1.         Top 5 Features of  Upcoming Latest  Version PHP 8 for  Web Development                                   

  2.   PHP version 8 will be released on November 26, 2020.    The release of this major version means significant changes, new features but also                           performance improvements​.    The development of PHP 8 is ongoing and has accelerated at the moment because                             its final release is closer and closer, especially since the release for the general                             public of its alpha 1.    In short, PHP 8 will bring its share of new features such as the JIT compiler for                                   example and many others.    Let’s see what this new version will bring by the end of the year:        New Arrivals  Let’s start by talking about the new features announced for this version 8 without                             forgetting that the latter is still in development, so this list may grow as the                               features are announced.  1 

  3.   UNION TYPES  Union types can be useful in a variety of cases and are a collection of two or more                                     types which indicate that either can be used. This will also allow several types to be                                 defined for the arguments received by a function, as well as for the value it returns.    JIT  We are going to talk about the most acclaimed feature of this PHP version 8 is the                                   just-in-time (JIT) compiler, which promises significant performance improvements.                 However, these improvements should not be very noticeable in the context of web                           requests.    To be more precise, the JIT translates the extreme parts of the intermediate code                             into machine code.    By bypassing compilation, it would be able to make huge improvements in                         performance and memory usage, thus allowing optimal use of PHP.    THE OPCACHE EXTENSION  Being an interpreted language, PHP needs an interpreter which leads to increased                         use of computer resources but also takes a lot of time. CPU resources are often the                                 most strained.    OPcache will overcome this concern because it will be able to improve the                           performance of PHP by allowing it not to load or even analyze for each request.        2 

  4.   PRELOADING  With the preloading, a new OPcache feature was added with PHP 7.4.    Storing a number of scripts in OPcache memory before any application code is                           executed will help a ​IoT in development​, but will not improve performance.    WEAK MAPS  Based on the weak refs RFC that was released for PHP version 7.4, this version                               under 8 is going to be an implementation.    Weak Maps contain references to objects, which does not prevent these objects                         from being collected in the garbage. This will allow a better way of managing and                               processing its objects. All this will increase productivity by reducing the waiting                         time for a request for example.    Apart from JIT and other added features, many developments and improvements                       will take place with PHP 8 making it more reliable and efficient for developers.    Many of these changes were deprecated in previous PHP 7. * versions, so if over                               time you’ve been following this development, it shouldn’t be too difficult to upgrade                           to PHP 8.    At the moment, alpha versions are already released and accessible to the general                           public but not recommended in a production environment.        3 

  5.   Conclusion  Finally, in this article, we have mainly covered the features and changes that are                             expected with this major release of the new version 8 of PHP. The most anticipated                               feature is certainly the Just in Time compiler, but more are to come as the year                                 goes on until its release.    Are you looking to upgrade to PHP 8?
