I struggled a bit to get Xdebug working with PHPStorm on my Windows 10 development machine with WSL2 and Docker. After a bit of research, I finally found a configuration that works for me.

Everybody knows the scenario: You are sitting in front of a programming task but the right solution will not come into mind or a colleague is asking for Your support. Now You sat down and discussed about the Problem and the possible alternative solutions, after all the colleague who could save the day was only a few desks away.

We started developing a few Sulu based projects. In this blog post, I want to share how we have configured our GitLab CI build pipeline to validate, build, and deploy our Sulu projects.

France is more than just cheese, wine, and the Eiffel Tower. Our neighbors know not only how to develop excellent PHP Frameworks, but also how to organize awesome conferences!

A part of our PHP-Team took the chance to attend the API Platform Conference 2022 in person, which took place in Lille (France).

Recently, I wanted to improve our CI build pipelines with some custom-built Docker images for our PHP projects. To make sure I can reuse the image in as many of our projects as possible, I wanted to compile and install as many PHP extensions as possible.

An interview about the work of the PHP Chapter

PHP is the server-side programming language that powers most of our customer projects. It is part of our toolchain since bitExpert was started in 2003. Over the years PHP has evolved a lot, it is far away from being the scripting language it used to be some 20 years ago.

We took this opportunity to talk about this great language with our PHP chapter lead, Holger Dörner.

After my first in-person event this year, I am quite happy to be able to speak again on a stage in front of "real people"(tm) at a conference in September.

For a client, we also handle the vulnerability management of the projects. This also involves manual checks after a new project is launched, to ensure that no critical security problem is caused by misconfiguration.

In one of our recent projects, we are using Sulu CMS with the Sulu Headless bundle and a React frontend. Additionally, we are also using the Sulu Forms bundle for form handling.

Two weeks ago the bitExpert PHP team participated in the first API Platform Conference as part of our Learn&Grow initiative. Having built a number of projects based on the API Platform components already, we were keen to get the latest insights and learn from the core team about upcoming features.
