    Maybe they saw the "php is deprecated" post from a few hours ago, and they were like

      > Oh, why no one told us? Everyone, thanks for the work, but that's it, the project is over. The webserver is now a minecraft server.

    I'm no fan of PHP but let's give them a break. It's Sunday and while having the docs down is unfortunate this basically doesn't matter.

      We had been able to download PHP documentation, including useful users' notes, since the dawn of time... Prudence.

      Edit: In case this comes useful to some: I think this is a backup, https://docs.phplang.net/docs.php

      It's Sunday in the United States.

      It's not Sunday everywhere.

    Damn this ancient laptop. But my Packard Bell won’t connect either?!

      2xx - All good

      3xx - Somethings could be better

      4xx - You did something wrong

      5xx - Server did something wrong

      Judging by this quick cheat-sheet I just created, this was not your fault :)

    Well, there goes my Sunday. I guess it’s off to the horse track instead.

    I'm sure being on the frontpage of HN isn't helping much.

    A good dose of healthy downtime is sometimes welcome.

    Seemingly https://www.elektronauts.com/ (community for Elektron devices) is also down, coincident? AFAIK, Elektronauts is running Discourse, so Ruby, not PHP, so unlikely to be related that way.

    But, I'd wager a bet on some DNS misconfiguration at some CDN or likewise, that both are using :)

      Apples and bananas.

    I haven't used PHP in years, but I always felt the user examples section made their docs better than the Python docs which are still somewhat wanting for common use case based examples.

    Coincidence this happens after the 8.4 update? We'll see.

    It's run by Nexcess.net (or was, the last time I checked). Wonder if the whole hosting service is down?

    They also appear to be using some kind of "We have Cloudflare at home" solution

    After latest PHP release, everyone started migrating their projects to PHP.

    Go learn Go. :)

    • TiredOfLife 8 months ago

      When Go has something like PHP Composer and doesn't require 50 environment variables.

    If they have used Ruby on Rails would never have happened.

    And that’s important, because?

    • mdp2021 8 months ago

      Some infrastructures are supposed to have extremely high uptimes.

      Were this occasion frequent, you would not see these submissions.

    • kyriakos 8 months ago

      php.net runs the language's documentation. its not just a home page

    Down for 10 hours... Not a good look. Nothing goes down for 10 hours unless incompetence is part of the sauce.
