Which native PHP features do you regret not knowing about/adapting earlier?

• date-time

  8 317 8.7 PHP

  Date and time library for PHP

  

If you need to store subsets of a date-time-timezone combination, then take a look at brick/date-time instead.

• rector-downgrade-php

  2 34 8.6 PHP

  Rector downgrade rules for PHP

  

Rector is a game changer here. Not only it can upgrade your code to now features but even downgrade it in order to be used with older versions.

• validation

  4 807 0.0 PHP

  PHP Standalone Validation Library (by rakit)

  

I have to admit, some filters are usable. But still a good validation library is mush easier to use. See for example: https://github.com/rakit/validation

• Brick\Money

  14 1,576 6.0 PHP

  A money and currency library for PHP (by brick)

  

brick/date-time is great! I personally prefer its interface and functionality over Carbon's. I also really like his money library
