PHP 8.4 includes many new features and improvements: Among other things, the new class “\Dom\HTMLDocument” supports improved processing of HTML5 documents within PHP. New array functions, e.g.array_find(),array_find_key(),array_all()andarray_any(), make working with arrays more efficient.
Property hooks make it possible to define getter and setter methods directly on properties, making the code more compact and clear. A new chaining syntax allows methods to be chained directly after object creation without having to use additional parentheses. The resulting code becomes more readable.
