Hi internals, As announced previously, I am now opening the vote for the RFC *“Allow Object Property Writes on Objects Referenced by Constants.”*
RFC and voting: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/const_object_property_write The vote will remain open for the standard two-week period and will close on *Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 23:59 UTC*. I would like to thank everyone who participated in the discussion and provided feedback. The comments and suggestions helped improve the proposal considerably.
