Weekly "ask anything" thread

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/PHP

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • symfony-docker

    A Docker-based installer and runtime for Symfony. Install: download and `docker compose up`.

  • Noob question; did anyone successfully installed PHP8.1 with this Symfony image?

  • Plates

    Native PHP template system

  • Start reading through PSR standards and see if some (not all) of them sound like good ideas to you, and write a mini framework of your own around those ideas, with composer to import high quality third party packages such as Plates.

  • WorkOS

    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.

  • PHP-Cryptography

  • sugar-stop

    An ordering system for a research project

  • Here's the source code: https://github.com/Lentucky/sugar-stop

  • Halite

    High-level cryptography interface powered by libsodium

  • One of the Golden Rules of Computing is "Never roll your own Crypto" (without a PhD in Cryptography). If you need to encrypt something at rest I'd recommend the really very excellent Halite Library.

  • parallel

    A succinct parallel concurrency API for PHP8 (by krakjoe)

  • hidden-string

    The HiddenString class extracted from Halite.

  • Yeah there are some side-effects when you're doing crypto which are pretty hard to protect against. That's something the Halite library will help with, e.g. protecting against stack traces and string interning which can cause other issues.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
