Never* use arrays
PHP loves arrays. They're the uber data structure. That's the problem.
In modern PHP there are almost always better options than bare arrays that are easier to use, safer, less bug-prone, and faster. Yes, all of those.
This talk will go through what PHP arrays actually are (hint: they are not arrays at all), why they're problematic, and what to do instead.
