@Edent PHP 8.5 might be diffcult on some classic webhosters, but that might change during the spring or autumn.

@Edent This is remarkable work. I don't think polls are a deal-breaker.

Im scared of implementing polls because I would have to check the get post recursively function on wafrn and oh no

@gabboman@gabboman.xyz for polls? The post sends an update every time someone votes I think.

I mean reciving votes.

It is “here is a dm with the content being the same as one of the options on the poll”

@Edent cool!
Btw. @example has an outdated git repository linked in the profile description.

@Edent die() die() die()

@Edent this is exactly what I've always wanted, I'll try it out! Thanks!

@Edent I like the "die(); die(); die();" at the end.

@Edent Does modern PHP need this?

@emilis yes. As proven by science.

@aslakr yeah, it's a tough trade-off.
The new curl stuff in 8.5 looks essential for dealing with all the POSTing it has to do - and the new URl validation is very handy.

Happy for you to make an 8.3 fork if you think it is worth it.

@Edent There is also the html5 dom parser in 8.4, etc.

Nah, I suspect in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS version 8.5 will be available. For those simpler/cheaper webhosting with some oldstable Debian I suspect they use PHP packaged by SURY.

I just have to be patient.

@Edent - fun - just knowing this exists has me thinking of where to try it.
