Lots of people _love_ PHP precisely because of the size of its attack surface.

Do you have any examples of something you've built in PHP which benefitted from direct syscall access?

I keep hearing about this. I occasionally use PHP8 and so far I'm pretty happy with it. Is there any resource that teaches about security issues with modern PHP (version 8.x)?
