Temporary URLs for file access is an essential piece of the security puzzle, which up until "recently" were only available out-of-the-box for the S3 driver in Laravel. Now you can easily generate them for local files too!
(Well, now → last September... )

Some big fundamental changes in the direction that #laravel #php has shifted towards post their Accel funding. Missed the Laracon announcements? Check out the changes here:

"PHP is now the best choice for web based software".

I would say "ONE of the best" (depends). Not that I took the "Yo #PHP is dead" remarks in the past seriously (outside of a moment when Ruby on Rails was hot). But reminders never hurt.

Today is the end of Q1, and I will spend a couple hours reflecting on what I accomplished, as well as setting new goals for the upcoming quarter. In today's tip, I make the case why you should consider this process too. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2025-03-31-we-review-our-code-so-why-not-our-goals

Just upgraded a project from Laravel 11 to 12, and for the first time in ages I ended up actively abandoning a Laravel Shift.

It had messed up so much, that I felt it was easier to just start a new branch, and cherry pick a couple of commits from their branch.

The most egregious was that they had remove all the constructors from all my Controllers. Just cut them off - dependency injection be damned.

Hope this isn't a sign of things to come …

Found the antichrist on myself.

I fully expect #Laravel to start deprecating the `Attribute` cast starting with Laravel 13.x.

I have, quite literally, no argument to use Attribute casts over Property Hooks. Plus, because these are native, there is no overhead.

Using git is non-negotiable for me. Even as a solo dev, I always use it in my Laravel projects. So why do I still find value in PHPStorm's Local History feature? In today's video, I talk about 3 benefits. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2025-03-28-video-why-phpstorm-local-history-is-useful-even-if-you-use-git

Using @sacha's "find and replace across all grep results" post as a reference to replace ad-hoc hardcoded values with structured enums in a messy #Laravel project

'wgrep' rocks!

Finally getting back to some mild Laravel related programming.

In case you need it, go back to the previous URL using this blade function:

```blade
{{ url()->previous() }}
```
PS: I wish Mastodon had markdown code highlighting.

Every Laravel developer probably hopes that every PHP project would have Laravel tooling available. But that's not always the case. What if you need a PHP REPL but don't have Laravel Tinker available? #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2025-03-27-quick-php-repl
