1. How to Upgrade to a Newer PHP Version Using a PHP Backwards Compatibility Library

Updated on: 2023-07-13

Blog: PHP Backwards Compatibility Library package blog
Package: PHP Backwards Compatibility Library

With every new PHP version, changes are made to the PHP language that may introduce incompatibilities between versions.

If your PHP applications rely on parts of the language that were changed, you may need to change your code to keep it working in the new PHP version that runs on the machine your PHP application is running.

Suppose your PHP application relies on PHP function or other parts of the language that changed in a backward incompatibility way. In that case, you may need to change your PHP application code to adapt to the PHP version changes.

This package provides a library of scripts with PHP functions that emulate the functions introduced in newer PHP versions.

Using this library, you can adapt your PHP application code to make it work in a newer PHP version without having to upgrade the PHP version that you use in the environment your PHP application is running.

This way, you can change your PHP application code to prepare to make it work in newer PHP versions making a smooth transition between PHP versions.

Package: PHP ChatGPT API Seeder

Many applications need to initialize databases with constant values like, for instance, the names of the countries of people with personal data records stored in the application database.

Usually, developers need to manually feed this data into the application to store the data in the respective database table records.

This package provides a more automated approach to solving this problem. It uses the ChatGPT API to retrieve the necessary data and inserts it in the expected database table records.

Some applications must encrypt data before storing or transmitting it to other computers.

Existing PHP extensions like OpenSSL support great encryption algorithms.

Usually, these algorithms are used to encrypt data from small text strings.

This package implements classes that can encrypt and decrypt large data by reading the data from files.

This way, these classes can handle encrypting and decrypting data that may take more memory than the limit that PHP is configured to use.

1. How to Perform PHP Object Initalization from Arrays or Named Parameters

Updated on: 2023-06-29

Posted on:

Blog: PHP Plain Object with Class Variables Set from Array Values package blog
Package: PHP Plain Object with Class Variables Set from Array Values

Hydration is the process of initializing an object variable using values obtained separately.

A hydration class can, for instance, take an associative array, traverse the array values and assign class variables with the values of the array entries that have the same key value as the class variable name.

This package allows hydrating of an object from an associate array with the class variable values.

If you run PHP 8 or later, the package can hydrate an object of named argument values. This way, the object creation and initialization can be done using a single line of readable PHP code.

1. How to Retrieve PHP Application Configuration in a Secure Way Using Encrypted Environment Variables Stored Remotely

Updated on: 2023-06-28

Posted on:

Blog: EnvKey PHP package blog
Package: EnvKey PHP

Many PHP applications use environment variables to share configuration values between different parts of the code, such as database configuration values.

Often these configuration values are sensitive information that should be kept private to protect that information.

This package uses an extension that loads and saves environment variables and the respective values in a remote service named EnvKey in an encrypted way.

This way, the application can share environment variable values for an application that can use a hosting environment distributed between multiple machines.

It uses encryption to avoid sharing sensitive information with the EnvKey service.

1. How to Use a PHP Image Compression on Upload to Reduce the File of Large Image

Updated on: 2023-06-27

Posted on:

Blog: PHP Image Compressor on Upload package blog
Package: PHP Image Compressor on Upload

Some PHP sites take images from users using upload forms. When the sites take too many photos, it may exceed the disk space provided by the hosting company.

To avoid exceeding the available disk space and still be able to take many image files uploaded by the site users, using a compression solution may help.

This package can reduce the file size of uploaded images by processing the image files and saving them with a lower quality factor.

The image quality may be lost, but the files may take up much less space.

This way, PHP developers that use this approach avoid paying more money to the hosting company when they manage sites that need to take a lot of images that may occupy a lot of disk space.

1. How to Check If You Are Using the PHP Line Length Best Practices

Updated on: 2023-06-24

Posted on:

Blog: PHP Line Length Detector package blog
Package: PHP Line Length Detector

Many developers look at other developers' code to determine if they can understand what the code does to decide if it is helpful to use in their projects.

The readability of PHP code is one factor that may help other developers to understand the code that one developer writes.

One aspect of the readability of the code is the length of the line of code. PHP code that has very long lines is tough to read.

This package can analyze the PHP code of given source files to return valuable statistics about the length of the lines of code of those source files.

This way, other developers may know how easy or hard to read the code of a PHP project can be.
