The original title is "Fibers Plus the Polling API: What Async PHP Actually Looks Like Now"

Short summary

The PHP Polling API RFC passed 33-1 and is merged to master, providing the missing native primitive for efficient file-descriptor readiness checks. The article clarifies that Fibers provide pausable functions while the Polling API provides the underlying mechanism to know when to resume them. A toy scheduler implementation demonstrates how these primitives combine to enable concurrent async I/O in PHP.

• •Polling API provides the native fd-readiness primitive PHP lacked, complementing Fibers (since 8.1)
• •Fibers pause/resume functions; Polling API tells the event loop when to resume them
• •Includes a working MiniScheduler example using Io\Poll\Context with non-blocking sockets
