Was visited by a small guest today, sat right next to me for about five minutes, blinking with one eye at a time and looking for bugs and at me for a while before flying away ❤️

Psalm is one of the biggest and most powerful PHP Static analysis tools, featuring exclusive features like security analysis, and in Psalm 6.9, an official, hyperoptimized Docker image was introduced.

Psalm’s docker image uses a custom build of PHP built from scratch with a custom deepbind patch and the jemalloc allocator, running Psalm +30% faster on average than normal PHP (+50% faster if comparing to PHP without opcache installed).

Recently, my deepbind patch was also merged into PHP and will be available to all users (even those not using the Docker image) in PHP 8.5!

To use it right now, on PHP 8.4, simply run:

docker run -v $PWD:/app --rm -it ghcr.io/danog/psalm:latest /composer/vendor/bin/psalm --no-cache

Issues due to missing extensions can be fixed by enabling them in psalm.xml and/or requiring them in composer.json, see here for more info.

Extensions not stubbed by Psalm itself (and thus not available as a psalm config option) may be stubbed using traditional PHP stubs.

Also posted on the blog: https://blog.daniil.it/2025/07/10/official-psalm-docker-image/

Also announcing the public beta of Psalm v7!

Psalm v7 brings huge performance improvements to security analysis, up to 10x thanks to a full refactoring of both the internal representation of taints, and optimization of the graph resolution logic.

A major new feature was also added: combined analysis!

Combined analysis, enabled by default in Psalm v7, allows running normal analysis, security analysis and dead code analysis all at the same time, within a single run, greatly reducing overall runtimes!

Future beta releases will also enable taint analysis by default, given that now it can be run alongside normal analysis.

Psalm v7 also brings performance improvements to dead code analysis, and fixes for list types.

Even more performance improvements and new features will be released soon!

Previewing my upcoming php-community RFC: https://github.com/danog/php-community-rfc

Feel free to submit feedback in the comments, it will be posted to the PHP internals mailing list either this weekend or next week.

Btw, I'm now part of the True Async committee!

I decided to not present the RFC as linked to true async, to explicitly prevent an interpretation where it is something that will allow us to "sneak in" True Async into PHP.

True Async is one of, but not the only nor the main reason why I created this RFC.

I truly believe that PHP could really benefit from a more agile RFC process, that can transform it from just a decent and fast language I and so many others love, to an amazing, blazing fast and actually modern and ergonomic language: I believe PHP truly deserves this.

The RFC was published!
