PHP & Blade. Real native interfaces. 📱

Shane Rosenthal, co-founder of NativePHP, shows how you can build apps that run on SwiftUI for iOS and Jetpack Compose for Android without leaving PHP. He ends with a live build of a Laravel and NativePHP game, taken from prompt to App Store.

If you've been waiting for a reason to build a mobile app, here it is.

Building Native Apps with PHP: From Hot Reloading to the App Store ...

The keynote is up. 🚨

Derick Rethans, creator of Xdebug, takes you inside the PHP engine: how the scanner turns your code into tokens, how the parser builds the Abstract Syntax Tree, and how that becomes bytecode the engine runs.

If you've ever wanted to understand what PHP does before your code runs, this is the session.

Thank you Bosun

Not once, not twice not thrice but every year since PHPConnect, we’ve been privileged to access your wealth of knowledge.

From the PHPTalks community, we say thank you for showing up for this community year after year, and we don’t take that for granted.

This time, you took us beneath Docker’s abstractions and back to the fundamentals.

We appreciate your dedication towards the growth of the community.

You are amazing

Thank you Jesutomiwa

From the PHPTalks community, we say a big thank you for the time, effort and dedication it took to deliver a brilliant session.

You started an important conversation about what happens to engineering when more of the work becomes abstracted.

Your R.O.E framework gave our community something practical to think about as we learn, build, and work alongside AI.

We thank you for delivering a superb experience

Thank you Alexander Garuba

From the PHPtalks community, we say a big thank you for giving us something we could take straight back to our work: a practical way to ship better with AI.

Your checklist challenged us to bring engineering discipline to the way we use AI, and we’re grateful for the thought you put into sharing it with us.

You are amazing 🤩

Thank you Paul Adams !!!

We want to say something special to you Paul. Coming all the way from Abuja to Karfe Nnyin, Uyo, meant a lot to us.

Thank you for making that journey, working with our team through the preparation, and giving our community an honest look at the engineering behind real browser automation.

From the PHPTalks Community, we are super grateful to have you with us

Thank you Elizabeth Baron!!

First, from the PHPTalks community, we were pleased to have this opportunity to understand PHP Foundation.

We specially thank you Elizabeth for joining us at PHPConnect’26 and, more importantly, showing us that contributing to PHP is something we can all be part of. We’re grateful for the time you took to make that opportunity feel real and accessible.

We hope to see our community become a core part of the amazing work in PHPFoundation

You are amazing

SHANE ROSENTHAL

Shane, thank you for getting hands-on with us. You showed our community how to build a mobile app with NativePHP and Bifrost, taking us from idea to working application.

We appreciate the time you gave us, not just on the day of the event, but throughout the preparation — the conversations, reviews, planning, and the work that went into getting your session ready.
