Microsoft is dropping PHP support from Windows:
PHP 8.0 is due for release in November, but when this major new version appears Windows will not support it.
The company says that bug fixes and security patches will continue to be released for the lifecycles of PHP versions 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4. But when the latest version is released later this year, Microsoft will "not [...] be supporting PHP for Windows in any capacity for version 8.0 and beyond".
[...] No reason has been given for the decision, but it is likely to be down to number of users.

Microsoft will not support PHP 8.0 for Windows in 'any capacity'

PHP, the millenial version of Perl, but even less useful.
Hate them both. Death is too good for both of them.

I used to be a sad depressed person taking my anger at life out on others, but Jesus showed me the way. Compassion and love are the only way to build a strong community.
May you find a place to call home and help heal those emotional wounds.
Love, light, and support for you during these tough times

LOL, says the hater.
1) PHP & Perl are incredibly fucking useful. Say what you want, but I can get tremendous amounts of shit done in PHP, and have. How much right now is being run by PHP? How many sysadmin scripts out there in Perl were executed by a CRON job in the last 1 second?
Not useful my ass :)
I use PHP, and hate some of the shit about it. No doubt about its failings. That being said, I can get shit done. Is it as super fucking tight as Catalyst running on OpenBSD? No. Yet, more money than you will ever make in your life was just made by people who are using PHP as the underpinnings of their platforms.
As for Perl, detractors can eat the peanuts out of my shit. I can't say much about whatever the fuck Perl 6 is, but Perl 5 is a joy for me to work with. Not everything has to be a one-liner, and a journey in self masochism. Ohhhh, and Perl don't give a fuck about your whitespace. Indent whatever way you fucking want.
Last I checked....... CPAN hasn't been compromised as much as Python repositories have. You know, those external 3rd party dependencies nobody really checks? :) If Python was a whore, it would be crack whore that takes diseased puss leaking penises like they had the cure for cancer.
By all means though, give me your reasoned detractions for Perl. Not PHP, I will readily stipulate to whatever stupidity you state (Still useful though)

1) OK thanks. PHP & Perl are not incredibly fucking useful.
v) Don't know - make your own point.

PHP and Perl have Garbage Collection, yet users of those languages HATE Garbage Collection.
