PHP, a server-side programming language used mainly for building dynamic websites and web applications, has just released version 8.5, a major update that adds new syntax, expanded attribute support, performance improvements, and multiple RFC-driven features.

One of the most significant additions is the new built-in URI extension. It provides a consistent API for parsing and modifying URLs, following both RFC 3986 and the WHATWG URL standards.
