Safe VS Money

thecodingmachine/safe: All PHP functions, rewritten to throw exceptions instead of returning false

There are workarounds with some third party libraries, but yeah, it's a pain.

- try not to use the built-in json_encode, as it doesnt have proper error handling. Use instead this: https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe and Safe\json_encode()

Not what you asked for, in modern codebases it's advised to use things like https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe

The goal of https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe is different than proxyz. My goal is a method proxy that allows you to override or watch the behaviour of a function from the "global namespace" effortlessly.

Safe-PHP redeclares all core PHP functions (in a new namespace) to throw exceptions properly. I use this on almost every project now.

moneyphp: PHP implementation of Fowler's Money pattern

There's also https://github.com/moneyphp/money, which is great.

Or you can use MoneyPHP, which uses BCMath, and it takes care of all of your problems.

Instead, you want to use a Money object of some sort instead; e.g. https://github.com/moneyphp/money.

Yeah I usually use moneyphp for this

https://github.com/moneyphp/money to handle money

With that in place, let's talk about our test project for a minute. We are going to build a small library on top of Money, a popular PHP package facilitating the manipulation of monetary values and currencies.

In addition to the essential advice above to use Integers of the lowest denomination to store prices, you can also look into using a library to help with all the money math, conversions, comparisons etc https://github.com/moneyphp/money
