Been programming this kind of stuff in so many projects, having it now as a built-in feature will help a lot. https://symfony.com/blog/how-we-lit-up-1200-screens-in-real-time-at-symfonycon?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26105 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 17:23:30 +0100 https://symfony.com/blog/how-we-lit-up-1200-screens-in-real-time-at-symfonycon?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26105 This post would've been so much better with a video 😉 https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-better-php-configuration?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26104 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:38:43 +0100 https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-better-php-configuration?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26104 the IDE type hinting on available keys is absolutely disasterous https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-better-php-configuration?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26103 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:12:31 +0100 https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-better-php-configuration?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26103 Question... how is this better than YAML? We just lost all of the strong typing advantages of the PHP objects, it seems. What is the actual suggested best practice now, PHP or YAML?

It also makes automatic configuration updates (via Symfony recipes) significantly harder. Can you elaborate… https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-better-php-configuration?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26100 Fri, 12 Dec 2025 18:54:15 +0100 https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-better-php-configuration?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26100 Not a fan of shifting the onus on the tooling. PHP already has a way of describing contracts: classes. Config builder was my absolute favorite feature of Symfony. It was easy to read and reason about. I dislike array-based contracts with a passion.

Currently this file doesn't bring any visible benefits for us, but adds a little bit of hustle to maintain it instead. https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-better-php-configuration?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26098 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 09:54:04 +0100 https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-better-php-configuration?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26098 I have "dump(" on my git_blacklist, but I get now "dump(" on the reference.php file.

Furthermore, the syntax is broken if a config file contains `/*`, such as `**/*.graphql` in my case. https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-attribute-improvements?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26096 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 22:32:55 +0100 https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-4-attribute-improvements?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26096 The new auto-registration of #[Route] attributes is a great DX improvement, but it requires caution when upgrading. Previously, only specific controller directories were scanned — now any PHP file with a route attribute will be picked up.

Even if a malicious user somehow manages to reach our messaging layer, having this extra protection makes the whole system more resilient. https://symfony.com/blog/symfony-7-4-0-released?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26094 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 16:08:53 +0100 https://symfony.com/blog/symfony-7-4-0-released?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26094 yeah, congratulations https://symfony.com/blog/symfonycon-amsterdam-2025-relive-the-magic-of-symfonycon-amsterdam-2025?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26093 Wed, 03 Dec 2025 15:52:01 +0100 https://symfony.com/blog/symfonycon-amsterdam-2025-relive-the-magic-of-symfonycon-amsterdam-2025?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26093 Thank you so much @Massimiliano !

Think we can adopt https://github.com/schranz-php-recipes/ to convert to the new syntax. How does it look like if there is not only bundle configuration but also parameter and service configuration. Did that Syntax also change? https://symfony.com/blog/symfony-8-0-0-released?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26087 Sat, 29 Nov 2025 09:43:54 +0100 https://symfony.com/blog/symfony-8-0-0-released?utm_source=Symfony%20Blog%20Feed&utm_medium=feed#comment-26087 Awesome ❤️
