Hi everyone,
Old habits are hard to break, when you're used to something it's difficult to adapt to a new system, but sometimes you discover a method that simplifies things. It could improve your process or cut down your task so you can do other things. By incorporating request query filters it may help streamline your APIs in Laravel. This week we also have new releases from Symfony 6.3 and PHPstorm. We've also included Symfony's newsletter for August so you're updated on the latest developments with Symfony. Laracon EU has also announced their return to Amsterdam next year, so be on the lookout for that. In podcasts we have new episodes from Laravel News on concerning enums and zero-downtime Forge. Developer Tea discusses the optimisation learning costs and on WP Builds they ask the question of whether web design clients are only interested in what they can see. Finally in our Reading section we have AI image moderation with Laravel workflow, and best practices for Interacting with External APIs. We have all that and more, so we do hope you enjoy this week's newsletter. If you're a student or developer on the move and want the latest PHP news and updates in one place, then subscribe to PHPWeekly.
If you have an article, tutorial or podcast that you would like to be featured in our newsletter, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Do follow us on our social media channels on Twitter and Facebook.
All the best,
Adrian
