[PHP-DEV] [Meta] This Week In PHP Internals | September 9, 2026

Hi Contributors,

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

Two editorial notes. Last week's corrections are at the top of this episode:
8.4.25 was a bug-fix release, not a security one (thanks, Daniel), and the two
libxml-rs contributors I described without naming were James Gilliland and
David Carlier (thanks, Tim — the From header was right there).

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
