PHP is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language
that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded
into HTML.  It is modular, and object-oriented.  Much of its syntax
is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific
features thrown in.  The language is designed to allow web developers
to write dynamically generated pages quickly.

PHP 8.5 comes with numerous improvements and new features such as

* Built-in URI Extension to parse, normalize and handle URL.
* Pipe Operator |> enables chaining callables and passing values.
* Clone objects and update properties with the new clone() syntax.
* A new attribute #[\NoDiscard] for a function.
* Static closures and first-class-callables in constatnt expressisons.
* cURL shared handles support.
* array_first() and array_last() functions are added to array.
* And much much more...
