RFCs do PHP#

Esta página fornece uma visão geral das RFCs atuais do PHP.

Para criar uma RFC, consulte Como Criar uma RFC.

Nota: Uma RFC é efetivamente "propriedade" da pessoa que a criou. Se quiser fazer alterações, obtenha permissão do criador. Se nenhum acordo for alcançado, a única alternativa é criar uma RFC concorrente. Neste caso, a antiga página da RFC deve ser modificada para se tornar uma página intermediária que aponta para todas as RFCs concorrentes.

Uma nova página no namespace RFC da wiki do PHP será automaticamente carregada com um modelo de RFC. Personalize conforme necessário.
