Returning to PHP and web programming after 15 years... is this the way? Or have things changed a lot?

• Composer

  191 28,264 9.5 PHP

  Dependency Manager for PHP

  

2 - there are iterators. You can use them or not. There are still directory functions or even glob. Personally, I'd go straight for symfony/finder, but then you've got to figure out composer too.

• Phinx

  13 4,440 7.9 PHP

  PHP Database Migrations for Everyone

  

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Redis

  318 64,821 9.7 C

  Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.

  

for simple data structure you can use redis (https://redis.io/) for storage

• Slim

  46 1,562 5.8 PHP

  Slim Framework 4 Skeleton Application

  

I’d recommend giving Slim PHP a go. It was a super-easy transition for me (I was in a similar boat to OP a few years ago).

• Packagist

  61 1,712 9.0 PHP

  Package Repository Website - try https://packagist.com if you need your own -

  

These 2 features are used by (as others have mentioned) the Composer package manager and Packagist package repository that make finding and using libraries easier than ever.
