How PHP Executes – from Source Code to Render This article will skim through these stages and show how we can view the output from each stage to really see what is going on. Note that while some of the extensions used should already be a part of your PHP installation (such as tokenizer and OPcache), others will need to be manually installed and enabled (such as php-ast and VLD).
How I generate model factories in light speed! I was sick and tired building model factories for every table I wanted to test in my laravel applications. So I woke up this morning and decided to try and make a helper command about this. In a Laravel 5.4 application I am currently working on, I created a new command by using the usual artisan make:command

Some originate from the web, some from the command-line. Your application sends some of them to a database, or a message queue.

Building flexible PHP projects The era of full-stack frameworks is behind us. Nowadays, framework vendors are splitting their monolithic repositories into components with the help of Git subtree, allowing you to cherry-pick ones that you need for your project. This means that you can build your application on top of Zend Service Manager, Aura Router, Doctrine ORM, Laravel (Illuminate) Eloquent, Plates, Monolog, Symfony Cache, or any component out there that can be installed via Composer.
Moving from array to class Ever since I started using PHP, arrays have always been my friend. They are versatile, they have a wide range of functions, and they are easy to use. I kept using them versions after versions, and even with PHP 7.2, I still rely on them a lot. ...
How You Can Successfully Ship New Code in a Legacy Codebase The greek philosopher Heraclitus already knew that "change is the only constant" and as software developers we know this to be true for much of software development and business requirements.

Symfony 4: Monolith vs Micro Monolith projects versus micro-applications; a never-ending debate. Both ways to develop applications are fine in my book. Symfony supports both. Even if the Symfony Standard Edition is probably more suitable for monolith projects as it depends on the symfony/symfony package.
s Best Practice Actually Poor Practice? Dependency Injection, Type Hinting, and Unit Tests... I've recently been in discussion with a colleague who thinks that dependency injection (DI) is over-used and, in cases where the dependency is a concrete class, unnecessary (in the latter case, he advocates simply creating new objects on the fly). I raised the point that dependency injection allows you to pass in a mock object while unit testing, but he dismissed that as irrelevant and not a valid argument as to why dependency injection is useful.
Maintain Slim PHP MVC Frameworks with a Layered Structure Fat controllers and models: an inevitable problem for most large-scale projects based on MVC frameworks such as Yii and Laravel.

Creating strictly typed arrays and collections in PHP One of the language features announced back in PHP 5.6 was the addition of the “…” token to denote that a function or method accepts a variable length of arguments.
Modelling Reactive Systems with Event Storming and Domain-Driven Design A successful Event Storming session — as well as a successful software project — demands equal parts art, knowledge, and technical skill. Also, it’s much cheaper to make changes to sticky notes than production code. Learning about your systems by writing code is a very expensive way of understanding and refining the business processes involved.
