Some part of the Spotify ad network thinks I speak Spanish, so I randomly get Spanish ads. I just got one for Zootopia 2, but the clips from the movie were still in English. Is this common?

#PHP 8.5 adds backtraces to errors so we can more easily track down problems. This is one of the features I think is going to be a game-changer for tracking down errors.

#PHP85 adds two functions for retrieving the first and last values of an array. They are `array_first()` and `array_last()` respectively, and they work more or less like you would expect them to.

One of my favorite new features added to #php85 is the ability to add the NoDiscard attribute to a function, so if we call a function without doing something with the return value, we'll receive a warning. Learn about more of the new features at youtu.be/Wmsy2O_WysA
