Today's PHP Security Release, and How We're Strengthening PHP Security

Re:Today's PHP Security Release, and How We're Strengthening... by barelysapient on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @02:23PM (#50185348)

I wonder if that isn't a side effect of how its structured...

When a corporation sponsors the language, such as Java, Go, .Net, there's an inherent economic component which acts as a forcing function.

PHP being a foundation sounds nice. But consensus wasn't strong enough to affect the key outcomes.

why nobody in foundation management was not intereated in resulta of rhe security audit?

making php is the core of (checks notes) php foundation

or is the management full of completely not technical people who use it to boost their CVs?

Right, and that's a good question too. Since its a foundation, its probably fair to assume that a fair number of management are there due to financial contributions by their sponsoring corps.

When that's case, the priority might become on renewing financial support. Keeping the personality happy is seen as a way to keep the funding stream.
