Upgrade Tips
-
Flexible heredoc and nowdoc syntax allows closing markers to be indented, and removes the requirement for a newline after the closing marker.
-
Trailing commas are now permitted in function, method, and constructor calls, matching existing support in arrays and lists.
-
Array destructuring via list() and square bracket [] syntax now supports assigning variables by reference.
-
Use the built-in is_countable() function to safely check whether a variable can be counted without triggering warnings.
