#PHP tip: PHP 8.5 Closures in Constant Expressions

PHP 8.5 enables closures in constant expressions, allowing default function parameters, attribute values, and class constants to be defined as closures without workarounds.

#php85 #closures #codetip #modernPHP

#PHP85 adds two functions for retrieving the first and last values of an array. They are `array_first()` and `array_last()` respectively, and they work more or less like you would expect them to.
