PHP is a powerful backend language used in more than 80% of the global web applications. The simplicity of PHP makes it one of the top programming
languages (https://www.cloudways.com/blog/how-to-start-with-php/), as it uses an easy-to-understand programming structure and developer-friendly web
functionalities. Yes, Like every other Language PHP uses libraries. PHP Libraries are collections of prewritten code that users can use to optimize tasks.
The Standard PHP Library (https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.spl.php) (SPL) is a collection of interfaces and classes that are meant to solve common
problems.

But, writing PHP code (https://www.cloudways.com/blog/top-ide-and-code-editors-php-development/) often becomes a tedious job. Because, in many
cases, PHP requires coding from scratch for every single function. This becomes a bit of a hassle for the developers and is a time-consuming process.

To ease this out, built-in PHP libraries got introduced in the market to effectively reduce developers’ load while coding the project. Using these PHP
libraries, several developmental functions can be configured in the project easily, allowing developers to focus more on the other complex operations.

Library functions, such as array_push (https://www.w3schools.com/php/func_array_push.asp) are part of the PHP libraries and can be accessed and used
by anybody. However, you can compose your own function and utilize that in your code as well.

provides easy to understand command-line interface in Symfony. Its integration in the application is also quite simple and is precisely made to build
testable command-line interfaces.

Composer Command: composer require symfony/console

Implementation

First, you need to create a PHP script and define console like this:

1. <?php
2.
3. // application.php
4.
5.
6.
7. require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
8.
9. use Symfony\Component\Console\Application;
10.
11. $application = new Application();
12.
13. $application->run();

Now you need to register the commands using add() functions.

1. $application->add(new GenerateAdminCommand());

Symfony Finder Component (https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/finder)


Developers often find difficulties while locating desired files and folders within the project. Using this Finder component, developers can easily find files
and directories within the project. It provides different attributes (name, file size, modification time, extension, etc.) to find related files or directories.
Moreover, it has an intuitive interface that helps users to find the desired resources.

Composer Command: composer require symfony/finder

Implementation

Let’s suppose you need to find all files and folders in the root directory. You can do it as:

You can also find files in FTP and user-defined streams

Psr/log (https://packagist.org/packages/psr/log)
If you want to find all the interfaces, classes, traits, etc. related to PS-3, this PHP logging library helps you find all those resources with just a few clicks. The
library isn’t a logger itself but is an interface that forms a logging system. This PHP logging library comes up with full documentation so that developers can
easily work with it. 

Monolog (https://packagist.org/packages/monolog/monolog)
It is necessary to save the logs to particular files or folders. Saving them at a certain place often seems to be a difficult job, but using this PHP logging
library you can easily save your logs to the defined locations. Monolog helps you to send you logs to defined files, sockets, inboxes, databases, and other
web services. It uses a PSR-3 interface which allows you to type-hint logs against your PHP libraries to keep maximum interoperability.

Composer Command: composer require monolog/monolog

Implementation

The basic usage to log an error and warning with PSR log can be defined as:

1. <?php
2.
3.
4.

PHPUnit (https://packagist.org/packages/phpunit/phpunit)
PHPUnit is perhaps the best PHP library for performing unit testing in PHP (https://www.cloudways.com/blog/getting-started-with-unit-testing-php/) web
applications. It is used to test the application’s code for possible errors and bugs. While performing the unit testing with PHPUnit, developers can resolve
various application bugs that may arise during the run-time execution. Hence, the library is vital to assess the cores of the application and fixing it timely
with the required solutions.

Composer Command: composer require phpunit/phpunit

PHP-code-coverage (https://packagist.org/packages/phpunit/php-code-coverage)
If you want to measure how much source code of a program is executed during a particular test, this library helps you out in measuring that degree of
code. The library provides you a collection and rendering functionality of the executed PHP code so that you can get a better idea about the tested chunk
of code and how to resolve the errors in it.

Composer Command: composer require phpunit/php-code-coverage

Swiftmailer (https://packagist.org/packages/swiftmailer/swiftmailer)
Swiftmailer is a feature-rich PHP email library primarily built to ease out mailing operation in any web application. The library provides advanced object-
oriented-approach combined with a multitude of mailing features to send emails over the web. The most significant feature of Swiftmailer
(https://www.cloudways.com/blog/create-contact-form-symfony-with-swiftmailer/) is that it protects the mails from header injection attacks without
removing the request data content, which is what makes it a very efficient mailing system.

Email-validator (https://packagist.org/packages/egulias/email-validator)
Email-validator is a specialized PHP validation (https://www.cloudways.com/blog/custom-php-mysql-contact-form/) library used to validate emails via
several chosen validation features. The library provides multiple types of validation for emails including RFC Validation, NoRFCWarningsValidation,
SpoofCheckValidation, and others. The library also provides a DNS validation feature through which you can validate and spam out emails with the DNS
verification.

Composer Command: composer require egulias/email-validator

Implementation

You need to define the validation strategy or method to follow in the code. Right now you have 6 types of available validations which you can see in the
official documentation:

The basic usage is as follows:

1. use Egulias\EmailValidator\EmailValidator;
2.
3. use Egulias\EmailValidator\Validation\RFCValidation;
4.
5. $validator = new EmailValidator();
6.
7. $validator->isValid("[email protected]", new RFCValidation()); //true

PHP dotenv (https://packagist.org/packages/vlucas/phpdotenv)


This library helps developers to export environment variables from .env to getenv(), $_ENV and $_SERVER. The library is recently upgraded to the latest
version V3, which now supports multiline variables as well. The library also allows developers to choose which part of the environment they want to read
and modify according to the needs of the application.

Composer commands: composer require vlucas/phpdotenv

Implementation

First, you need to create a .env file on the root level of your directory. Next, add variable and values in it like this:

1. S3_BUCKET="devbucket"
2.
3. SECRET_KEY="abc123"

Now load the .env file in application like this:



1. $dotenv = Dotenv\Dotenv::create(__DIR__);
2. (https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?
