PHP Installer for Extensions (PIE) is an innovative tool I am writing for the PHP Foundation to modernise how PHP extensions are installed and managed. For decades, PECL has been the go-to mechanism, but it's time for a change. In this talk, we’ll explore why PIE is poised to replace PECL, its goals, and what makes it a game-changer for PHP developers. We'll dive into PIE's features, demo its usage, and provide a glimpse of its roadmap, including exciting enhancements already in the works. Whether you're a seasoned developer or new to PHP extensions, discover how PIE is shaping the future of PHP extension installation.
