June 25, 2018Looking At The PHP 8.0 Performance So Far In Early 2020

In PHP 8.0, they are work as value-objects as opposed to fully-features classes with methods in them. Majority of these classes do not allow instantiating with the new Foo() construct either, and must be instantiated with the existing functions that returned resource objects in prior versions. PHP 8.0's resource to object migration is quite seamless, as in all functions return and accept the new objects, and behave by the same semantics of the previous resource objects.

Beginning on 28 June 2011, the PHP Development Team implemented a timeline for the release of new versions of PHP.
