My PHP Wishlist
Back when I started using PHP properly in the early 5.0 days, it felt like the language was pretty basic. That all changed this decade. PHP has come an awful long way in the last few years and is once again proving that it’s got what it takes to be a programming language people should take seriously, even outside the web. That said, there are a handful of things I would love to see PHP implement at some point in the future. Here I’m going to dive into a couple of them. |
Tutorials and Talks
Improving Assertions on Laravel Fakes
Laravel has some cool fakes that can help you with testing your code. In this short blog post, I'd like to show you a little tip on how to get better feedback when a test that contains such a fake fails.
Implementing Cursor-Based Pagination in Laravel
In a typical web application that uses a database you might have more records than you can fit on a page or in a single result set from a query. To retrieve more data, there are basically two options: Offset-based and cursor-based pagination. In this post I will show you how to implement cursor-based pagination for Laravel applications using Eloquent.
How to Add a Slider to WordPress With a Free Plugin
When used properly, sliders can help make a website appear more dynamic and lively while at the same time providing more information in a limited space. If you are looking to add a feature-packed yet free slider plugin to your WordPress website, this tutorial will show you how. I'll give you an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to using the free Smart Slider 3 plugin.
Running PHP Applications on Azure App Engine
Azure App Service is a way to host your web application in a container without having to think about the server. It’s the same PaaS concept as AWS Elastic Beanstalk and supports all the main web programming languages. It also supports Windows and Linux OS containers.
Deprecation Message Support for PHPStan
The end of May brought two exciting releases for PHPStan and the PHPStan Deprecation Rules extension. With the version of PHPStan v0.11.8, descriptions added to the @deprecated tag can be parsed and returned in rule checks. The v0.11.2 of the PHPStan Deprecation Rules extension implements this feature and returns that description instead of a generic "Call to deprecated X Y" messaging.
Updates on PHP Performance Increase
While waiting for PHP 7.4 production release and its strong type new feature, I was wondering how the performance increased. A while ago I wrote a small stress test which is not the most reliable in all cases, it just points out some major changes that started occurring in PHP 7.
How to Enable PHP Error Logging & Automation
A good developer always keeps a close eye on the potential errors while developing a web application. He always sets up those workflows that help him log errors properly. PHP offers some of the robust methods to work with PHP error logs which you can log manually and automate them. There are some third party tools as well built by the open source community to handle PHP error logging process.
You May Not Need a Query Bus
"Can you make a query bus with SimpleBus?" The question has been asked many times. I've always said no. Basically, because I didn't build in the option to return anything from a command handler. So a handler could never become a query handler, since a query will of course have to return something.
451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons
If a server refuses to serve content for legal reasons, it can use the 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons status code.

How to Upgrade Meetup.com API to OAuth2 with Guzzle
I got an email from Meetup.com 5 days ago, that basically every API request will be paid since August 15, 2019. $ 30/month, that's like my phone bill. 95 % of data on Friends Of Php depend on Meetup.com API - updated daily. The website is free, so it might kill the content or I'd have to move to crawlers and hope for the lack of protection on Meetup.com against them. Unless we use Oauth2 before August 15. I never used it, but how hard that can be, right?
