PHP is the open-source, server-side scripting language (Hypertext Preprocessor) driving dynamic web content: it is the core engine for platforms like WordPress and Drupal.

PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a powerful, open-source, server-side scripting language built specifically for web development: it handles everything from database integration (MySQL, PostgreSQL) to session management. Its ubiquity is undeniable, serving as the foundational technology for major Content Management Systems (CMS) like WordPress and Drupal. The language runs on the Zend Engine, and recent releases, specifically the PHP 8.x series, introduced significant performance gains, including Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation, cementing its status as a fast, reliable, and continuously evolving platform for building modern, high-traffic web applications.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [AI-Assisted WordPress Vulnerability Hunting: From Plugin Code to Verified Findings](https://dallas-fort-worth.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_ryp2dvTokTM)

I built a repeatable AI-assisted workflow for finding and validating vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins. In the demo, I’ll show the process end-to-end: selecting a plugin, launching a controlled test environment with a custom harness, then using Codex and a tailored AGENTS.md to scan the source, trace risky execution paths, validate the finding with a proof of concept, and generate a disclosure-ready report.

### [Leveraging GPT-4.1 and o3-mini to Accelerate Developer Workflows](https://las-vegas.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_nVIHIoLGo6Y)

I will be demonstrating a WordPress plugin that uses generative AI models to take development assets and blocks that have been designed once, and rearranges them into an unlimited number of pages based on text prompts. Describe your desired structure and your desired content and the plugin does the rest. Instead of generating something that looks template-y the result is a website that looks like you built it.

### [Agentic Agent Creation and Integration System](https://orange-county.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_cr31KvdJEUg)

I would like to demo my NetShow AI integration system, featuring user-friendly AI tools and zero-code web form interfaces. This system empowers anyone—whether individuals with just basic computer and email skills, students, or businesses—to seamlessly integrate AI into their daily workflows. It simplifies tasks, enhances productivity, and supports learning, making AI practical, accessible, and effortless for everyone.

### [Hands-on with the OpenAI Assistants API](https://boston.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_l8r7aIxsQOM)

Assistants are a new (beta) part of OpenAI's API. They are powerful but also have some interesting quirks. In this talk, I'll start with the basics of configuring an Assistant in the Playground. Next I will show a few different ways of getting assistants to respond with JSON output, including workarounds for current limitations when using function calling or file search/vector store. Then we'll get into working via the API - understanding concepts like threads, runs and the various flows needed to programmatically engage with Assistants. I'll conclude by discussing our observations about accuracy, consistency and cost. Code that I will demo includes a NextJS app + API that uses the node OpenAI API library to lookup company information via an assistant and return it in JSON format. It then uses this information to query another assistant that has access to a vector store database (single json file) + file search to recommend projects that would be appropriate for the company based on the files in the database. Then it uses the same assistant to allow for creating a custom project brief. If there's time, I will also briefly show PHP code that uses a more complex tool calling flow.

### [Live AI chatbots and Vector Search with Laravel, Vue.js, and MySQL](https://boston.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_ds3pqfXmJvM)

The primacy of python and dedicated vector databases for search might be due to the hype driven by enterprise solutions. But there are thousands of PHP and MySQL websites out there that could benefit from Vector Search. With an implementation of this modified from one created by Allan Pichardo ( pichardo.dev ) called mysql-vector this demonstrates the feasibility of native vector search with MySQL and PHP.
