And more than one of us has this bug ATM.

Any detailled thoughts about the cleaner code with property hooks? I tend to agree, thought I feel the impact more than I see it.

I added the second situation from your code here: It makes the example long, but still readable.

Also, I tried with promoted properties, and it has no impact: so different behavior. Geez... #PHP ...

I always thought that the order of properties in a #PHP class didn't matter, but that's not true. It does matter when comparing two instances of the same class. Each property is evaluated one after another in the order they were declared until the first difference is found. 3v4l.org/NTP5c

header_register_callback() registers a function that fires just before headers are sent.

After ALL your code runs. After ALL output buffering. Before the first byte goes to the client.

Last chance to add headers, and last chance to change the status code!

There is no later hook in #PHP than this.

New word: zombie closure

That is when you put $this in a static closure, you can run the #PHP code but you can't call it.

Just a reminder about static arrow functions.

I owe this one to @faguo!

In #PHP, expm1() computes exp(x) - 1.
log1p() computes log(1 + x).

"Why not just write exp($x) - 1" you may ask...

Because when x is close to 0, floating point eats your precision alive. Think about it if you deal with finance!

preg_split() splits #PHP strings with regexes, captures the separators and can handle an empty regex.

You don't need that everyday, but when you do, #PHP has it!
