I released php-quic 1.0.0, a PHP extension that gives you raw QUIC transport with first-class access to streams. It links against the same OpenSSL that PHP already links against, and that is the whole trick. Why This Was Awkward Before QUIC is not a protocol you bolt on in userland. It is TLS 1.3, congestion control, loss recovery, and stream multiplexing, all riding on UDP, and all of it has to be right before you can send a single useful byte. You could get there from PHP if you were willing to bind to a foreign QUIC library like ngtcp2 or quiche through FFI. That works, but now your PHP app carries a second TLS stack, a second set of CVEs to track, a build story that involves Rust, and a version matrix that has nothing to do with the one your distro maintains. For a language whose entire deployment story is "the package manager handles it," that is a lot of rope. What Changed OpenSSL 3.5 shipped a native QUIC stack. Client and server, in the library PHP is already built against. That reframes the problem. The extension is no longer "embed a QUIC implementation into PHP." It is "expose the QUIC that is already sitting there." No new TLS stack, no FFI layer, no Rust toolchain in your build. If your OpenSSL is patched, your QUIC is patched. The requirements fall out of that directly: PHP 8.4 or newer (8.5 on Windows), NTS or ZTS OpenSSL 3.5.0 or newer, built with QUIC support Transport, Not HTTP/3 The thing I most wanted to avoid was shipping an HTTP/3 client and calling it a QUIC library. QUIC is a transport. HTTP/3 is one protocol that runs on it, and it is not the interesting one for everybody. DNS-over-QUIC runs on it. So does anything you want to invent that needs multiplexed, ordered, loss-recovered streams without head-of-line blocking across them. So php-quic hands you connections and streams, and stays out of the framing business. If you want HTTP/3, you build HEADERS frames and QPACK on top of it, and the README has a worked example. If you want something

Cloudflare has recently shared how they uncovered an issue in their Rust implementation of CUBIC, a congestion controller algorithm, which prevented it from recovering from a scenario of heavy packet loss at the start of a connection. By Gianmarco Nalin

I independently shipped my first open-source repo this week. The tool I built was a cli which accesses quickbooks online data. While Claude Code did speed up the build, it still took considerable effort shaping the entire user experience for the cli around the pre-existing public APIs! Major learnings during the entire process. Would also love additional feedback from open-source developers here.I'm currently looking for feedback from experienced open-source developers: Are there any improvements you'd suggest around project structure, documentation, testing, or contributor onboarding or the tool functionality? https://github.com/intuit/intuit-cli-for-quickbooks #
