This site is the consumer-facing aggregation endpoint: each source repository ships its docs/public/ tree, and the build pipeline assembles those docs here. Per-module reference pages, cookbook recipes, and specification documents arrive at the Writing Gate as their sources stabilize.

The Insider_ section is editorial content owned by the docs site itself. Every page ships with verified Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA contrast, ISO 9241-112 grouping conventions, and audit-traceable citations to the source specification it restates. You can always trace a claim back to its standard.

Editorial Read the Insider_ landing The curated reading order for PHP 8.4 foundations, integration decisions, and migration paths, written and reviewed by the docs team. Cookbook Browse all integrations Every runtime adapter we ship — Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, Cloudflare Workers, and Gotenberg — with its own quickstart and reference.
