Supply chain security is ever more important to manage when working on software projects. This talk will illuminate attack surfaces of modern PHP applications beyond the security of the application code itself. This guide will help you improve supply chain security in your composer projects in concrete practical steps and you will learn about Composer's architecture and features that impact supply chain security.

With PHP gaining more and more features, are PHP extensions still necessary? Beyond just accessing system libraries, extensions unlock capabilities that pure PHP code still can’t replicate. Imagine defining custom behaviors for operators, enabling intuitive syntax through operator overloading, or tailoring equality checks with flexible object comparisons—these are things only possible in an extension. Extensions even allow objects to be cast to scalar types like int or string, adding versatility to how they’re used. In this talk, we’ll dive into some of the coolest things extensions make possible, pushing PHP beyond its usual boundaries. And yes, we’ll also explore when extensions can be taken a little too far, showing that just because something can be done doesn’t always mean it should be!

API Platform is the reference tool for creating sophisticated web APIs, with seamless integration to Doctrine and various data sources. But what if you want to access other types of databases, or optimize queries for specific use cases? Is it possible to do without Doctrine?

PHPUnit has been around for over two decades and is used by nearly every PHP developer in the world. While most of us know the basics, there are depths and hidden valleys of PHPUnit that even the most experienced of us may have never even heard of.

Join Sebastian Bergmann, the creator and maintainer of PHPUnit, to dig into the hidden depths of lesser known features to get more out of the amazing tool you use every day.

A chat interface is by far not all what you could build with Symfony and Large Language Models. And agentic applications are the next level of integrating AI - not only in your code, but also in your business.
Let's have a look together on some basic concepts and hands-on examples of letting AI take over more responsibilities in a well-defined and automated manner.

In this talk, let me introduce you to Gally, an (e-commerce) search engine that powers your application's search experience. I'll show you how Gally works, guide you on how to configure Gally for your specific use case, and demonstrate how to integrate Gally into your application easily thanks to its API-first design principles.
