Here at PHPWeekly, we have just that. This week we have new releases from Laravel and PHP 8.1. We also have a handful of Symfony focused articles so whether you want to learn about handling multiple requests, or you want to master Refactoring and managing webhooks in Symfony, this week's newsletter is for you. In Podcasts we have new episodes from No Compromises discussing handy features in PHPStorm, as well as a new instalment from the guys at North Meets South on the subject of airdrop and restricting access to S3 buckets. Finally, in our Reading section we have some articles on craft emails, blocking file uploads containing scripts, and the secret ingredients to crafting cleaner and more robust code. We have all that and more, so we do hope you enjoy this week's newsletter.
