Blog: PHP Murmurhash package blog
Package: PHP Murmurhash
Hashing is an operation that computes a value from a string of data.
Hashing operations help check the integrity of data that may be transmitted between a source computer and a destination computer to detect data transmission failures caused by external interferences.
In environments in which security is an important aspect, developers should use cryptographic hashing algorithms to detect malicious alteration of data by people with bad intentions.
In environments where security is not essential due to the low risk of alteration of data by bad-intentioned people, developers can use non-cryptographic algorithms.
Such algorithms do not require so much CPU processing power and can run faster.
Murmurhash is a non-cryptographic algorithm.
This package provides a pure PHP implementation of the Murmurhash algorithm. Therefore it does not require that particular cryptography PHP extensions are available to use this class.

Updated on: 2022-09-23
Posted on: 2022-09-23
Blog: PHP Type Class package blog
Package: PHP Type Class
PHP is a weakly typed language. This fact means that it allows setting the type of variable values when executing the PHP code.
Although this makes the PHP language very flexible and tolerant of the developer's mistakes, sometimes it can be hard to debug subtle bugs caused by the developer's errors.
In practice, that can mean that developers may take more time to fix subtle bugs that probably would not exist if PHP was a strongly typed language.
This package provides a solution that can help to avoid those bugs. It gives the name strings of the PHP variable types.
So, if a developer wants to use the PHP GetType and SetType functions to get or set the variable type, the developer can use this class.
So, if the developer makes a mistake in the name of a constant provided by the class, PHP will trigger an error that can make it easier to find bugs caused by typing the name of a PHP type.

Updated on: 2022-09-15
Posted on: 2022-09-15
Blog: SimpleX Noise Algorithm package blog
Package: SimpleX Noise Algorithm
Noise is a signal that can cause certain disturbances. It is often associated with sound but can also be associated with an image.
Noise images can be helpful. For instance, you may use noise images to generate CAPTCHA validation images that may obfuscate a picture with text that the user needs to recognize.
The noise image can help obfuscate the text to make it harder for robots to recognize the text while humans may be able to identify it.
This package can generate noise data for creating noise images for CAPTCHA validation or other purposes.
It uses the SimpleX noise algorithm. This algorithm has several advantages over classic forms of generating noise like the Perlin algorithm.
For instance, the simplex algorithm requires less computing power to create noise.

Updated on: 2022-09-12
Posted on: 2022-09-12
Blog: Laravel Composer Update with Zero Downtime package blog
Package: Laravel Composer Update with Zero Downtime
Composer is a popular tool many PHP developers use to define which packages they need in their projects. The composer tool can install those packages and any other dependent packages.
When a project's packages are updated, the composer tool can retrieve the new versions and update the project environment with those new ones.
Updating a project with new package versions may take a long time if a project is complex and needs many packages with a new version.
Updating a project with the new package versions in a production environment may cause the application to break since the composer cannot update all packages simultaneously.
This package provides an alternative solution to update the new versions of packages of a project in a way that does not cause the application to break.
It creates a new project vendor directory in a working directory. In the end, this package replaces the old vendor directory with the new vendor directory that has the updated versions of the project's packages.
