During a recent update of some of my library dependencies I found that one of my dependencies had marked their constructors as final. When I asked if it was possible to de-finalize them, they told me to remove it and run static analysis. It turns out that the answer lies in phpstan’s rule for Unsafe … Continued
A long time ago, in the League\Pipeline repository, there was an issue that asked about changing the interfaces to separate the concerns, and also allow the pipelines to be immutable. I thought this was a great idea at the time, and so I wrote SyberIsle\Pipeline. Three years later I still think the idea has merit, … Continued
Today I am releasing Slim Turbo. This provides a full route caching mechanism for Symfony’s Dependency Injection container, and for PHP-DI.

Over that last couple of weeks I’ve come to use the SPL far more than I have in the past. The SplFileObject for reading CSV files is far more convenient than the fgetcsv() function, and associated code needed for a CSV file. Using the LimitIterator allowed me to easily bypass the first row of the … Continued
During my tenure as a seasoned, and tenderized, PHP developer I have used many design patterns: adapters, factories, data mappers, facades, etc. The most recent one that I have been working with is Dependency Injection. Inversion of Control is not a new idea, at least not in the programming world, but in the PHP world … Continued
For both a client and my work we are working on creating a RESTful API. The problem is that all of the current solutions for Zend Framework are either one off (Resauce, ZfApiVersioning) or otherwise do not play well with a pre-built Zend Framework 1 application. The solution I was looking needed the following handle … Continued
