[PHP-DEV] [Meta] This Week In PHP Internals | October 8, 2026

Hi Contributors,

This week's episode is out. Here's the video, plus everywhere else it landed
for visibility.

Same invitation as always: if I got something wrong, reply in this thread and
I'll make corrections. That includes how I'm pronouncing your names.

If you'd rather read than watch, the dev.to post carries the full episode as
an article, which also makes it the easiest version to quote when correcting

This week, a fix that breaks nothing arrived, borrowed from a Python library. Full rundown in the first reply. #PHP #PHPInternals #PHP87" / X
