Pull Request Overview
Implements local evaluation of feature flag dependencies in the PostHog PHP SDK, enabling complex conditional flags where one flag can depend on the value of another flag. This feature allows for more sophisticated feature rollout strategies and ensures flags can be evaluated locally without additional API calls.
- Adds comprehensive flag dependency evaluation logic with cycle detection
- Implements multivariate flag dependency support for complex chains
- Provides extensive test coverage for all dependency scenarios

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The empty string check using strlen($actualValue) > 0 is less readable than $actualValue !== ''. Consider using the more explicit comparison for better code clarity.
