lang/php74 7.4.33nb8 NetBSD

PHP is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. It is modular, and object-oriented. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The language is designed to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly.

PHP 7.4 comes with numerous improvements and new features such as

* Typed Properties * Arrow Functions * Limited Return Type Covariance and Argument Type Contravariance * Unpacking Inside Arrays * Numeric Literal Separator * Weak References * Allow Exceptions from __toString() * Opcache Preloading * Several Deprecations * Extensions Removed from the Core
