Laravel is a popular PHP framework that implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.
Application objects are stored in persistent containers using model classes. Usually, these model classes use SQL database servers to store the model objects.
This solution may be acceptable when you want to store a relatively small number of model objects in database table records.
If your application needs to store and retrieve many model objects, other types of containers do not use SQL to query the database records, so it can be faster to search the object records.
This package provides a general solution to search model class objects in different storage containers that are more suited to store a large number of model class objects, like Elastic Search and Mongo DB.
Since this package provides an interface abstraction to perform searches for model objects, it is easier to change an application to use a different storage container without changing the database code.

Blog: Laravel Markdown Blog package blog
Package: Laravel Markdown Blog
Blogs are still a popular form of publishing content of interest to a given community.
HTML is a natural format for defining blog content because Web pages use HTML to determine the page contents.
However, certain HTML tags may be insecure to allow blog post authors to submit content because a malicious author may use specific tags to steal private information from blog visitors.
Markdown is not as powerful as HTML in rendering content, but it is undoubtedly more secure because it does not support the same kind of tags HTML supports and can be insecure.
This package implements a blog system that allows authors to edit the post content in Markdown format, and then it displays that content on Web pages using regular HTML.

Package: PHP Function Arguments Detector
Complex PHP code is hard to maintain. In practice, if you use a complex coding style, you spend a lot of time analyzing and improving your code whenever you need to make changes.
There are several types of signs that you use a complex coding style. One of them is the way you declare your classes and functions.
For instance, if you create classes with functions with many parameters, that is a sign that you are trying to do many operations in those functions.
This package can help you to find which can be complex class functions, so you can fix them, probably splitting them into several tasks that do fewer operations.

Package: WordPress Plugin Sentiment Analysis
People who send text content to the Internet often express how they feel. That is the case, for instance, when post articles on a blog.
Knowing the kind of sentiment that an author of an article is expressing can be helpful for site users to decide if they would like to read the article or not, depending on the current mood.
It may also be helpful for site moderators to decide if they should approve an article or not, depending on whether the sentiment expressed by the article author is positive or negative.
This package implements a WordPress plugin that can analyze the sentiments expressed by authors of posts, pages, and comments. This way, users and moderators may understand the author's feelings.

Package: PHP Utility Classes
Measuring the time a PHP script takes to execute allows determining if a hand is too slow and if its performance needs to be optimized.
When PHP is used to serve Web pages, the execution time must be measured from when the Web server received the HTTP request.
This package provides a class that can calculate the current script's real execution time considering the HTTP request start time.

Package: Tor Geoip Tools
Sometimes Web servers that run PHP sites are attacked by several machines hosted in the same network.
One way to protect against those attacks from all those machines is to block network connections from the whole IP address range segment.
This package simplifies blocking a whole IP address range segment by generating commands to run the Linux iptables command that adds rules to stop all the IP addresses that belong to those range segments.

Package: Formal PHP Validation Library
Many Web applications need to validate values entered by the users to avoid invalid values that can make the application work unexpectedly.
Usually, developers define a set of rules to validate values entered by users. In some cases, specific values need to be validate by several rules.
This package supports the concept of type casting. This concept allows the definition of rules that combine several other rules into a single rule.
This way, developers can simplify the definition of complex rules in less code than if they had to define all simple rules for each value that their applications need to validate.

Updated on: 2022-08-24
Posted on: 2022-08-24
When you discover what parts of your applications are the slowest, you are in an excellent position to start making changes in your code that can significantly impact the application's performance.
Still, you need to understand why that code is so slow, so you can make the right changes to make the code run much faster. This article has some example code to show how to do it manually.
Going through a large section of code and finding the exact lines of slow code can take too much time.
A good profiling tool can help you find the exact lines of code that make the code so slow, so you can quickly determine why the code section is so slow.
Please read this short article to learn how to use the Scout Application Performance Monitoring tool to determine the specific lines of code of a Laravel or Symfony application that are causing the application to be so slow, so you can focus your optimization work on the code changes that really can make a difference after you optimize the code.

Package: PHP JPEG metadata
If you are doing development work for clients whose native language is not English, you probably have been challenged to write IPTC-IM (International Press Telecommunications Council Image Metadata) that you can embed in JPEG image files with information like headlines, captions, keywords, etc.
You can embed that metadata information in JPEG image files in different languages. The challenge worsens if you want to offer the same images to different clients speaking or publishing in other languages.
Read this article to learn how to read and write IPTC-IM metadata in JPEG image files using PHP.
