Modern PHP Standards and Community
summary
Explains concrete changes and practices: PHP 7 makes Exception and Error both implement Throwable so one catch can grab both; recommends using PDO prepared statements for safe parameter binding; demonstrates password_hash/password_verify plus password_needs_rehash to migrate hashes incrementally and keep credentials current; shows strict scalar type declarations and return types to catch mismatches; uses the built-in web server, composer with a composer.lock commit workflow, and PHPUnit for reproducible testing.
