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

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

Coming in the next version of league/csv named constructors simplification. All the current named constructors are deprecated in favor of just two. which will simplify the user choice and improve DX #csv #php #oss #thephpleague Read the doc for more informations csv.thephpleague.com/9.0/connecti...

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.

PHP warnings:
Sometimes harmless 🤷
Sometimes critical 💥
Always annoying 😅

My fix: a Warning class to cloak or trap them, once and for all.

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.

That what does it wraps them

Ignace Nyamagana Butera @nyamsprod.com · Aug 18

`fopen` returns false on error ... so fopen is a code smell is that what you are saying 🤔 and that's the case for most php internal functions. so the solution is for a known behaviour of PHP not for userland code where I do not expect developer to use E_USER_WARNING + false but rather exceptions

Ignace Nyamagana Butera @nyamsprod.com · Aug 18

because the method already return false why would I want to know twice that there's a error ... If the function was returning an Error like a ValueError I would not have to suppress anything. I already know I have false returned it's twice the same information for no real added value.

A code smell ? Why ?

1

Ignace Nyamagana Butera @nyamsprod.com · Aug 18

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.

Periodic reminder: stop using boolean as options flags in #PHP use Enum instead. Boolean flags are hard to read and to remember and lead to tricky bugs and requiring a trip to the method/function definition, Enum are explicit and readable and offer granularity instead of a simple yes/no answer

#PHP may be the first language to correctly support #RFC3986 #URI and #WHATWG #URL at the same time if
RFC wiki.php.net/rfc/url_pars... passes.

I created a polyfill which works on PHP8.1+ github.com/bakame-php/a... It will get tagged as stable once the RFC has passed.
