Fall leaf hanging on a tree branch

Summer is coming to an end, but PHP and Symfony conference season is just getting started! From international conferences and partner events to regional meetups and accessibility initiatives, the SensioLabs team, creator of Symfony, will be traveling across France and Europe between now and the end of the year 🍂

As the creator of the framework and active members of the ecosystem, we'll be there to support these community initiatives, deliver technical talks, and connect with you. We can't wait to meet you at our experts' presentations (which focus mainly on AI and security this year), at our booths over a cup of coffee ☕, or during community social events. Check out the full lineup (with links to all events) for our autumn tour below!

PHP 8.6 Duration: a small class that fixes a recurring design mistake

PHP 8.6 is expected to add a dedicated Duration class. That sounds small, but it finally gives PHP projects a clear type for elapsed time instead of overloading DateInterval, integers and timestamp arithmetic.

Multiply your AI development speed using Git Worktrees

Say goodbye to context switching and the "stash-and-switch" headache. By leveraging Git Worktrees alongside modern AI agents, you can now isolate environments and handle bug fixes in parallel while your AI builds features in the background. It’s a total DX game-changer that turns your Git workflow into a multi-threaded powerhouse.

Create a Custom Builder - A GotenbergBundle Story

In a previous article, we explored how to generate your first PDF in a few lines of code using Gotenberg and GotenbergBundle, a Symfony bundle that wraps Gotenberg's HTTP API to convert HTML or Office files into PDFs. That was a great start. But what happens when your application needs to generate multiple different PDFs, each with its own layout, styles, data?
