Last weekend, I was reading the State of JS 2025 survey and started wondering how those popular JavaScript syntax features translate to PHP.
I turned it into a small article comparing JS features with their PHP equivalents, with examples and explanations.
A curious weekend exercise ☕️

@roberto @thepracticaldev You should mention PHP’s autoloading functionality under “dynamic import.”
@roberto @thepracticaldev PHP also has the null coalescing assignment operator, like JavaScript: `??=`
@ramsey thank you ! I really appreciated your feedback. Added `??=`
@roberto @thepracticaldev And there’s a proposal for a short ternary assignment operator (but it seems abandoned): https://wiki.php.net/rfc/short_ternary_equal_operator
