Almost Generics in PHP: A Guided Journey Through the Official Compile-Time Proposal

By Doğan Uçar

Generics in PHP have a long, winding history. This book traces that path - from early discussions

and userland workarounds to the PHP Foundation's current proposal (as of August 2025) -

and explains what it means for everyday code. With concise, runnable examples, I try to

demonstrate the proposal using PHPAlgorithms: typed collections, data structures and algorithmic

patterns. You will see what the design enables, where it's strict, and how to prepare your

codebase now with static analysis and pragmatic refactoring.
