I'm speaking at #phptek this year. Tickets are still available at

First year for #jstek too, which has some really interesting talks. So much so that I'm having trouble deciding which session to attend.

#PHPC #WebDev

At #phptek this year, we'll have multiple PHP release managers you can actually talk to. Plus one who knows what it feels like when you don't get picked (looking at you, Eric Van Johnson 👀).

#PHPC #PHPDev #WebDev #jstek

Time handling in #PHP is one of those things that looks easy until it absolutely isn't. I'm giving a talk at #phptek this year about all of it: "Taming Time in PHP: Best Practices and Gotchas."

Tickets are still available.

What's the most powerful #SQL feature you've actually used in production?

Asking because I'm covering some at #phptek this year: "Advanced SQL: The Features You've Been Ignoring (But Shouldn't)."

#PHPC #PHPDev #WebDev #phptek

Heading to #phptek? There's a #BattleSnake Hackathon this year, and it's worth checking out.

I sat down with Brad Van Vugt, the creator of Battlesnake, for a #communityCornerPodcast episode. Worth a listen before you write your snake.

We're really excited to travel to Chicago mid-May to speak at @phptek, one of the biggest PHP conferences in the world. Make sure to attend @alexdaubois talks scheduled. Who's coming?

I can't wait to get back to the USA to give 2 talks about #PHP! Let's meet in 2 weeks in Chicago for @phptek 🚀

A lot of #phpc developers have been ignoring some of the best parts of their #database for years.

At #phptek, I'm talking about the SQL features most PHP developers walk right past. Examples you can use immediately without rewriting your stack.

"Just store a Unix timestamp" is advice that sounds fine until you're debugging why someone's subscription expired at 6 pm instead of midnight.

At #phptek, I'm covering: `DateTimeImmutable`, DST gotchas, and the patterns that actually hold up in production.

Thanks to @lotharthesavior (and his wife) for these awesome magnets he made for PHP Tek.

when I grow up I want to be as cool as Sarah Peters @phptek 🎻👩🏻‍💻

“ I don’t think they’ll have anything at PHP Tek that I haven’t seen before”

Sara: “Hold my bow”

Offering a session at PHP Tek today on how tension shows up when companies scale fast. Competing priorities, unclear decisions, power dynamics, and the things people are not saying out loud. We'll be talking about how to see conflict as data instead of the problem. #JenFryTalks

@ShaneDRosenthal @phptek Too bad the timing didn’t work out. I’ll be in Chicago tomorrow!

Luke and Dakota are in Chicago this week for #PHPTek2026. In Luke's words: "PHP Tek is a great opportunity to learn from other experts in the field and experience the PHP community firsthand at its best." That's why we keep sending them.

Join @johncongdon and myself for a complete breakdown of this year's PHP Tek 2026 ( @phptek / @jstekio / @phparch ). We'll discuss the highs, the lows, and what's in the future, as well as our normal PHP rhetoric and tomfoolery.

PHP Architect YouTube Channel:

Join the PHP Architect team as we break down this year’s conference. The wins, the lessons learned, what surprised us, and what’s coming next for PHP Tek. Expect plenty of PHP talk, conference stories, and the usual developer chaos along the way 😄

Added 2 more to my collection. Thanks @phptek and @LaravelLiveJP

@ShaneDRosenthal @phptek @LaravelLiveJP Need to get you a fancy @UpstatePHP lanyard at this point

It’s @phparch day, working through a v interesting #SQLite article.
Congratulations to the @phparch team on a successful @phptek.

#PHP ElePHPant new generation available online: Holly, from @phptek the 2026 PHP/JS elephpant, in gorgeous yellow color.

@ElePHPant_frl @phptek I usually respond with 'Welcome to the PHPamily' but this definitely doesn't apply to you... What I can say?

That's not a PHPamily anymore: that's an enterprise monolith!

Are you curious what all you missed at @phptek 2026? Check out Ben Ramsey's recap in our free column for May 2026. Hope to see everyone there next year.

@phparch @phptek It's always Boctor in the game night photo.

@OscarL06 @nativephp I already left, was at PHP TEK

@geerlingguy I recall you were one of 6 people that came to my talk on IPv6 at PHP Tek in St Louis in 2016!
