Original: PHP Speaks QUIC Now, and OpenSSL Did the Hard Part
Short summary
php-quic 1.0.0 is a PHP extension exposing OpenSSL 3.5's native QUIC stack for raw transport-level access to connections and streams. It avoids FFI, foreign TLS stacks, or Rust toolchain dependencies by leveraging the OpenSSL PHP already ships with. The extension supports client and server modes, mutual TLS, SNI, and custom ALPN, with worked examples for DNS-over-QUIC and echo servers.
- •PHP extension exposing OpenSSL 3.5's native QUIC stack — no extra TLS stack or FFI needed
- •Provides raw QUIC connections and streams, not just HTTP/3; includes DoQ and server examples
- •Missing datagrams, 0-RTT, and connection migration, but covers HTTP/3 and DNS-over-QUIC use cases
