RubixML VS Guzzle

RubixML: PHP machine learning package

Some weird but brilliant guy is doing like a port of scikit-learn but in PHP named RubixML, and it worked well!

One prominent Machine Learning project is RubixML. It's got tools for supervised and unsupervised learning, and it's used in a variety of domains. It's open source and free to use. Some use-cases for RubixML are: Image classification, text sentiment analysis, and image segmentation. If you are planning on doing Google's crash course in Machine Learning, perhaps an Iris Flower Classifier would be a good example to take a look at.

You know that inline C in PHP is a thing now? Also there is a big big lib for ML stuff https://rubixml.com/

The egg headedness and being "hipp" in python shows for example with github stars imho. We do have rubix ml https://github.com/RubixML/ML for php, which is absolutely awesome! But only 1k stars.... and some library for python, that gets you "disappointing results" according to the creator, gets him almost 30k stars. Notice that is half of what laravel has. Something is over hyped in python?

PHP 8 is fairly new. In the future it may be used more because of this. Now the only actively maintained project that I know is https://github.com/RubixML/RubixML

Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client library. It’s a simple and effective solution for sending HTTP requests and managing HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.0 responses. This versatile tool excels in several areas, allowing developers to build query strings quickly, send POST requests, upload JSON data, and handle other HTTP-related tasks. Moreover, Guzzle facilitates both synchronous and asynchronous request handling, providing flexibility for different scenarios.

Symfony HTTP Client or Guzzle. If new build then Symfony, but have a lot of existing implementations with Guzzle. Both have worked very well. Worst case fallback to cURL.

but if you'd rather make raw requests, guzzle is a good option (though I'd opt for the sdk): https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle

PHP has built-in cURL support, but I never use it. I like using Guzzle or Symfony's http-client.

I just ran into multiple errors regarding the pre-packaged cURL: It does not feature accepting compressed responses (which I suppose is due to absense of `libz` being compiled/linked in).

I am busy building a small application that monitors websites using guzzle. My idea is to run through the list of websites alphabetically and make a guzzle request to each and update my table with the http response codes of each site.

Like Node.js, the PHP ecosystem has quite a number of good HTTP request libraries. Guzzle is perhaps one of the most well known, but there are many other popular libraries out there. Luckily, PHP also has some interface standards around HTTP clients and messages, particularly PSR-7, PSR-17, and PSR-18,
