Request for Comments

This page gives an overview of the current RFCs for PHP.

To create a new RFC, see How To Create an RFC.

Note: An RFC is effectively “owned” by the person that created it. If you want to make changes, get permission from the creator. If no agreement can be found, the only course of action is to create a competing RFC. In this case, the old RFC page should be modified to become an intermediate page that points to all the competing RFC's.

A new page in this RFC namespace will automatically be loaded with an RFC template. Customize as needed.

Inactive

This section is for RFCs that had been in discussion, but did not have any activity or discussion about them recently. It can be because they have been deferred, obsoleted, or appear to have been abandoned, or because the authors need more work on them. Sorry if your RFC is added here and you feel it is still active; please move it back to the appropriate section.
