Re: Deprecation ideas for PHP 8

    - phpversion (use PHP_VERSION constant)

The function takes an optional argument string $extension, what is the replacement for that?

    - intval (for arbitrary base change there exists the math function
    base_convert)

I've seen and myself use the following construct a lot to "quickly" convert data within an array: $data = array_map('intval', $data); It's really practical because I don't have to write a (more verbose) closure. I'd argue this applies to the other *val calls too.

    - join (alias of implode)

Old signatures:

    - implode (historical signature)

Is there a correlation here why you mention the alias join and the actual function implode? I hope you would want to leave either in the language :-) cheers, - Markus
