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()*and*array_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.

The PHP developers summarize the improvements of the new major version as follows: “Better performance, clearer syntax, improved type safety”.
