PHP 8.3 available in cloud hosting

The latest PHP version 8.3 is now available in our cloud hosting. This update brings with it a range of improvements and new functions that make the development of websites and applications even more efficient and secure.

PHP, one of the most popular programming languages for web development, is continuously being developed to meet the needs of developers and the requirements of modern web technologies. PHP 8.3 is no exception and offers some exciting new features compared to the previous version PHP 8.2.Important new features in PHP 8.3

  1. Classes Constants can now have a data type: This type is specified when the constant is created and must be adhered to when the constant is used. This improves type safety and errors can be detected at an early stage.
  2. New "json_validate" function: The "json_validate" function uses the same JSON parser as the "json_decode" function. However, it is more efficient as it does not decode the JSON data. Instead, it only checks whether the character string corresponds to the JSON format.
  3. New function "mp_str_pad": The existing function "str_pad" now has a new colleague that can also process multibyte strings.
  4. New function "getBytesFromString" in the Randomizer: This method generates a random sequence of bytes from any character string. The length of the sequence can be specified.
  5. You can find more new functions, classes and interfaces on the PHP release page: https: //www.php.net/releases/8.3/en.php#other_new_things
