Laravel VS Phalcon

Currently Laravel is the "go to" for new PHP applications to mostly developers today, if not, plain PHP, Slim, Symfony and other frameworks does the job, but for Wordpress, custom PHP boilerplates or/and outdated PHP patterns (aka, single ton) is what we have for work in mostly cases, if not, hacky ways to integrate frameworks as Laravel itself or parts of it to leverage a better code structure.

cd /var/www/ || handle_error "Failed to change directory to /var/www/." sudo git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel.git laravel || handle_error "Failed to clone Laravel repository."

Laravel is a popular PHP framework known for its expressive syntax and rich ecosystem of features. Here's why it shines for building RESTful APIs:

Implementation In this article, we'll delve into the concept of rate limiting in Laravel; a popular PHP framework. We will explore how to set it up, customize it to suit your application's needs, and handle common scenarios. By the end, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to implement rate limiting in your Laravel applications, enhancing their security and stability.

Delving into PHP frameworks like Laravel or Symfony is like building a skyscraper, with Composer acting as your "construction foreman," guiding you step by step to ensure your code is robust and awe-inspiring. This stage involves getting familiar with popular PHP frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, etc., and utilizing the functionalities provided by these frameworks to rapidly develop efficient, maintainable web applications. Tools to consider: Laravel, Composer.

Your very first starting point should be the Laravel documentation. Known for its clear explanations and user-friendly layout, the Laravel documentation makes setup a breeze, ensuring you get off to the best possible start.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a GraphQL API with Laravel, a popular PHP web framework. We will be creating a simple student model, seeding the database with dummy data, setting up a database connection, and creating a GraphQL server by defining our API's schema, queries, and mutations. We’ll also learn how to make requests to our API (test our endpoints) using a tool like Insomnia or Postman. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a working GraphQL API that you can continue to expand and improve.

Laravel is an open-source PHP framework on GitHub with 75.7k stars and 24.2k forks used for building web applications. It was first released in 2011 and follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. It comes with an expressive and elegant syntax. It is fine-tuned for building professional web applications and ready to handle enterprise workloads. It achieves this by integrating the best packages from the PHP ecosystem and creating a framework that is also developer-friendly. Other than its foundational features, It also provides tools for dependency injection, unit testing, real-time events, and many more.

Phalcon is open-source with 10.7k stars and 2k+ forks on GitHub. It is a full-stack framework for PHP that is characterized by high performance and low resource consumption. It is written or implemented as a C-extension or in C, which is integrated into PHP to improve performance. It has a user-friendly interface that simplifies PHP development and enhances the developer experience.

PHP itself is not that bad. Lack of a native ability to serve HTTP requests is annoying, but newer things like Phalcon help: https://phalcon.io/

Ah, was going to suggest Phalcon, but just noticed you said it's written in PHP, so I guess it's not that.

ports: phalcon 5.2.1[11]

A belated happy patch day to everyone, This is a small maintenance and security update. You will notice that LibreSSL no longer works with FreeRADIUS software due to hiding library internals that are used by the software. Your current install will continue to work, but we would recommend switching to OpenSSL to receive FreeRADIUS updates as they become available. Also, the infamous log_error() message is being phased out in the development version to end the questions of "Why is this log message an error?" and so with log_msg() each log line receives a more appropriate log level between error, warning and notice. Here are the full patch notes: o system: add statistics tree view containing vmstat memory characteristics o system: explicitly reopen main log file in case another log file was used and closed o system: tweak log_msg() to prepare log level adjustments migration away from log_error() o system: enforce config reload to fetch group membership in authentication tester o system: separate interface type icon from name column in interface widget o system: change system log default to "Notice" o system: UX tweaks on activity page o system: revised backend daemon startup delay o system: drop empty plugins_run() result o interfaces: migrate main clearing of interface data to ifctl o interfaces: fix display of special HTML characters in packet capture o interfaces: retain existing PPP settings on saving interface settings o interfaces: delete the correct lock of PPP device o interfaces: fix variable use in interface_proxyarp_configure() o firewall: wrap user rule registration in new function filter_core_rules_user() o firewall: simplify rule lookup by using filter_core_rules_user() o firewall: allow external dynamic address in NPT o firewall: remove extended VIP expansion from NAT rules o firewall: fix live view hostname lookup may result in HTTP 431 error o ipsec: remove side effect host route removal from Phase 1 page o unbound: do not stop on potential errors in start script o plugins: os-freeradius is no longer available for LibreSSL to allow updates of FreeRADIUS software o plugins: os-nginx 1.31[1] o plugins: os-wireguard now skips invalid peers for dashboard widget (contributed by jkellerer) o ports: expat 2.5.0[2] o ports: krb5 1.20.1[3] o ports: nss 3.85[4] o ports: phalcon 5.1.1[5] o ports: sudo 1.9.12p1[6] Stay safe, Your OPNsense team -- [1] https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/stable/22.7/www/nginx/pkg-descr [2] https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_5_0/expat/Changes [3] https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.20/ [4] https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/nss_3_85.html [5] https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/releases/tag/v5.1.1 [6] https://www.sudo.ws/stable.html#1.9.12p1
