“Forget pipes, PHP 8.5 finally fixes URLs.”

PHP 8.5 adds pipelines and safer everyday APIs

PHP 8.5, released on November 20, 2025, brings the pipe operator to core PHP and adds a standards-based URI extension, immutable object updates with clone(), array_first(), array_last(), and #[\NoDiscard]. The release also expands constant-expression support and improves diagnostics. Developers should test deprecations before upgrading, especially in older code and vendor packages.

The Editorial

PHP 8.5's best feature is the URL parser, not the pipe operator

Almost a year after PHP 8.5 shipped, everyone still talks about |>. I think the feature that will save you the most grief is the new URI extension, which finally parses URLs to RFC 3986 and WHATWG. Pipes make code prettier. A strict parser closes bugs. If you only adopt one thing from 8.5, adopt the boring one.
