What if URI Templates could work both ways? Template → URI Template ← URI With the next minor version of league/uri, you will be able to extract variables from a URI into an ExtractionResult. Same template. Both directions. #PHP #URI #URITemplate

$PHP code showing URI Template extraction with League\Uri. A template contains repeated variables, including {term:1} and {term}, plus an exploded query variable {q*}. The URI /1.1/search/j/john/?q=a&q=b&limit=10 is extracted into an ExtractionResult, producing version "1.1", term "john", q as ["a", "b"], and limit "10".$

The Duration class in Tokei 0.2.0 introduces the modulo() and dividedInto() methods that provide an easy way to retrieve the remainder of a duration division. This is especially useful when dealing with circular ranges. #duration #localtime #php #circular-range bakame-php.github.io/tokei/

Example demonstrating the difference between Duration::modulo() and the remainder returned by Duration::dividedInto(). For a positive duration of 3 hours and 35 seconds divided by 1 hour, both methods return a remainder of 35 seconds. For the negated duration, modulo() returns a positive remainder (59 minutes and 25 seconds), while dividedInto()->remainder preserves the sign of the original duration and returns −35 seconds.

Did you know that you can map #CSV row to DTO using league/csv ? in the next version you will be able in #PHP8.5+ to use a static closure to allow specific casting rules

The script shows how using the League/csv package you will be able in the next minor version to use in PHP8.5+ closure to further specify row cell casting to DTO properties so that each CSV record is converted into a fully PHP typed structure.

I just released version 7.8.0 of all my #PHP #URI packages. The new version adds support for BackedEnum everywhere, improve string coercion and allow migrating and mitigating the BC breaks introduced in http_build_query in #PHP8.4 full changelog github.com/thephpleague...

This example show the usage of the new QueryString::compose method with the new QueryComposeMode Enum. It highlights the different ways to compose an query string to better migrate between the BC breaks in http_build_query behaviours .
the QueryComposeMode::Native mode just encode using http_build_query so it is PHP version dependent.

Here's a sneak peak at what you will be able to do with version 7.6 of the PHP league uri toolkit. The toolkit adds support for the new PHP URI extension and gives you a nice API to work with URI in PHP. learn more on uri.thephpleague.com #PHP #URI #RFC3986 #WHATWGURL

$The League\Uri\Modifier class wraps any URI object and perform the correct modification on the wrapped URI. After any applied modification you can access the changed URI using the Modifier::unwrap() method. The method will always return an URI of the same instance of the one you give to the Modifier::wrap method. The Modifier class works for League Uri own URI class but also for PSR-7 UriInterface implementing classes and PHP's new native URI classes.$

Finishing adding these imports everywhere in league/uri codebase version 7.6 is almost ready!! #PHP #URI #OSS #thephpleague

The image highlights the addition of import definition for PHP new native URI extension in league/uri codebase. This extension will always be available when PHP8.5 is released and support for them is being added to league/uri.

All the current named constructors are being deprecated and replaced by 2 simple named constructors that are easier and more powerful to work with.
For instance Reader::createFromString is replaced by Reader::fromString
and all the other methods are replaced by the more easy to use Reader::from.

Coming in the next minor version of #LeagueCSV the JsonConverter #ndjson support is improved you can now do the following #php #csv #oss

You load a CSV written in french iso-8895-15 and using the ";" as delimiter
You first load the CSV document.
Then using the stream feature you convert on the fly the document into UTF-8 using mb_string extension.
You convert and store the CSV document as a NDJson file using a list with a header. Last but not least you convert the strings into integer where it makes sense using the JsonConverter formatter capabilities.

A new version of #stackwatch is out with tons of new features, fixes and removal for instance the new version nows comes with a PHPUnit helper traits to ease testing callback or method performances. See more on the documentation website bakame-php.github.io/stackwatch/ #php #profiling #OOP

A fluent, unit-aware PHPUnit helper for asserting profiler metrics. Straightforward to use by adding a simple trait to your PHPUnit test class. And Since all the data are in bytes or nanoseconds you can assert using other units and they will be automatically converted into the proper unit.

I hope theses examples explain the goal. To have total control over the functions behaviour.

The Warning class is a utility for controlling PHP warnings during the execution of callbacks. It provides two static methods:

trap() — converts any PHP warning (E_WARNING or E_USER_WARNING) emitted by the callback into an ErrorException, allowing them to be caught and handled like regular exceptions.

cloak() — suppresses warnings emitted by the callback, effectively hiding them during execution.

Both methods ensure that the original error handler is restored after the callback executes, and they propagate any exceptions thrown directly by the callback.

Ignace Nyamagana Butera @nyamsprod.com · 18/08/2025

I usually hate traits but I hate even more the PHP error control operator so I made this trait #PHP #trait

This PHP trait safely executes a callback while suppressing PHP warnings and notices during its execution.

Useful for calling functions or methods that may trigger non-critical errors without interrupting program flow like most PHP internal functions.

One of the most underrated, under-used, unknown feature of #PHP is the powerful PHP stream filter API with the weirdest class of them all www.php.net/php_user_fil... I use them heavily in #LeagueCSV 😈 and they are getting a clean fresh API in the next minor version to improve their usages

Ignace Nyamagana Butera @nyamsprod.com · 21/12/2024

Periodic reminder: The PHP parse_url function splits the URL in its different components. It does not validate the URL. To correctly validate an URL you are required to use an URL validator per scheme. #php #URL #URI

parse_url tries to split an URL into its defined component. It does not validate the URL. You need an URL validator for that
