Hello internals, Voting is now open on the Literal Scalar Types RFC, as announced in the discussion thread earlier. There are three votes on the RFC page, running concurrently: 1. Primary vote, requires a 2/3 majority: add integer and string literal types. 2. Second vote, requires a 2/3 majority, independent of the first: add floating point literal types. The RFC is accepted if at least one of the two type votes passes; if both fail, it is rejected. 3. Third vote, simple majority, effective only if at least one type vote passes: matching semantics, strict vs coercive. The RFC recommends strict matching. The vote started on 2026-07-23 and ends on 2026-08-06. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/literal_scalar_types Discussion thread: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/131249 Seifeddine Cheers.
