PHP Extension 5.32.0 released

  • Notice: Active development for PHP 7.2 has been discontinued. Future releases will continue to ship with support for PHP 7.2 with the current feature set. Any new features will only be available for PHP 7.3+.
  • Improvement: Credis (Magento) calls now have an annotation indicating the (approximate) size of the response without protocol overhead.
  • Bugfix: If a distributed tracing inclusion or exclusion list is defined, injecting the distributed tracing headers will now be skipped if the target URL cannot successfully be parsed.
  • Change: URLs to validate against the distributed tracing inclusion or exclusion list are now parsed with the RFC 3986 parser of the URI extension when running PHP 8.5, resulting in more accurate extraction of the hostnames.

I’m a Software Engineer at Tideways, where I work on the PHP extension. My focus is on helping developers gain accurate insights into the runtime behavior of their applications with minimal overhead.

I’m interested in PHP internals and regularly contribute performance improvements to the PHP engine. I enjoy working on problems where small changes can have a measurable impact on the performance and efficiency of PHP applications. Several of my performance optimizations have become part of PHP itself, helping improve the language for developers worldwide.
