fig-standards VS skeleton

The namespaces and class names must follow this example.

I would familiarize yourself with the following PHP standards: https://www.php-fig.org

The PHP Standard Recommendation, or PSR for short, from the aforementioned PHP-FIG.

That's what happens if you use a PSR-4 autoloader and not utilise PSR-4 in your project structure 👀 So either use PSR-0 or properly use PSR-4.

PHP really "got it's act together" in my view when packagist and composer (which are PHP's equivalent of npm) became mainstream and with the release of the PSR community standards. We were admittedly a little behind the curve with regards to package managers but with standardised formats and not having to copy and paste zip file libraries anymore, PHP received a new lease of life.

Some go for lighter things. https://thephpleague.com/ once you get their router and container running you probably have everything you need. Simple query builders that are usually also helpful (eg. https://github.com/skipperbent/pecee-pixie and https://github.com/TCB13/sequel-mongo-php) for most projects.

As feedback, use an orm instead of making your own db logic and have a look at https://github.com/thephpleague/skeleton as project skeleton... Ow and use a template engine.

I put together this sample project, which leverages two libraries created by The PHP League and will be discussed in the following sections of this article. If you want to follow along, go ahead and clone the repository.

With mentions of Stop the War in so many places lately, I wonder, are there any wars that people would support? As in "Keep up the effort, brave soldiers". Any takers?

One tool destined for the PHP community and maintained by The PHP League is OpenAPI PSR-7 Message Validator, a package validating PSR-7 HTTP messages against OpenAPI definitions.
