I worked with node js, django to make APIs.

But im learning to make apis with php.
Feels really great and easier than node js or django rest framework.

🚀 Onym – A Simple & Flexible Filename Generator for Laravel

Hey r/laravel! 👋

I was developing another package and needed a consistent way to generate filenames across my project. Of course, Laravel has great helpers like Str::random(), Str::uuid(), etc., but I wanted a centralized place to manage file naming logic across my app.

So, I wrote a class to handle it—and then thought, why not package it up for everyone? That’s how Onym was born! 🎉

# 🔥 What Onym Does

✅ Centralized File Naming – Manage all filename generation in one place.
✅ Multiple Strategies – Generate filenames using random, uuid, timestamp, date, slug, hash, and numbered.
✅ Customizable & Human-Readable – Control filename formats with timestamps, UUIDs, and slugs.
✅ Seamless Laravel Integration – Works natively with Laravel’s filesystem and config system.
✅ Collision-Free & Predictable – Ensures structured, unique filenames every time.
✅ Lightweight & Extensible – Simple API, no unnecessary dependencies, and easy to expand.

use Blaspsoft\Onym\Facades\Onym;

// Random Strategy
Onym::make(strategy: 'random', options:
'length' => 8,
'prefix' => 'temp_',
'suffix' => '_draft'
);
// Result: "tempa1b2c3d4draft.txt"

// You can call the strategy methods directly, default options for each strategy can be set in the onym config file or you can override the defaults

Onym::random() // will use defaults

Onym::random(extension: 'pdf', options:
'length' => 24
) // will override the default length option

Symfony UX map with leaflet doesnt load on chrome and edge but works fine in firefox

Not sure what s the problem….i dont see any error in symfony profiler. It s simply showing empty box.

I use webpack encore instead of asset mapper. I also install bootstrap and use its css and js.

Dont think there is problem with controller code.

Is there problem with bootstrap?

PHP Map 3.12 - Arrays and collections made easy!

The 3.12 version of the PHP package for working with arrays and collections easily includes many improvements:

- Added strCompare() and deprecates compare()
- Allow key/path as argument for countBy() and groupBy()
- Allow values, closures and exceptions as default values for find(), findKey(), firstKey() and lastKey()
- first(), firstKey(), last() and lastKey() doesn't affect the internal array pointer any more
- Allow closure as parameter for unique() and duplicate()
- Fixed avg(), min(), max() and sum() when using closures
- Fixed keys when using col(), map(), rekey(), unique()
- Performance optimizations

Have a look at the complete documentation at https://php-map.org.

# Why PHP Map?

Instead of:

    $list = [['id' => 'one', 'value' => 'v1']];
    $list[] = ['id' => 'two', 'value' => 'v2']
    unset( $list[0] );
    $list = array_filter( $list );
    sort( $list );
    $pairs = array_column( $list, 'value', 'id' );
    $value = reset( $pairs ) ?: null;

Just write:

    $value = map( [['id' => 'one', 'value' => 'v1']] )
        ->push( ['id' => 'two', 'value' => 'v2'] )
        ->remove( 0 )
        ->filter()
        ->sort()
        ->col( 'value', 'id' )
        ->first();

There are several implementations of collections available in PHP but the PHP Map package is feature-rich, dependency free and loved by most developers according to GitHub.

Feel free to like, comment or give a star :-)

Anonymous functions.

Trying to understand if I need to use anonymous functions. The following code seems to be about the same.

<?php

$greet = function($name) {

echo $name;

};



$greet('World');



echo"<br>";

//==============================================



function showname($name2){

echo $name2;

}



showname("Texas");

How to migrate router middleware in Laravel to Symfony?

As a developer with years of experience using Laravel, we've implemented numerous router middleware in our projects, applying various middleware to individual routes and route groups. Now I want to migrate part of the functionality to Symfony. After reviewing Symfony's documentation, I see only listeners are available. However, implementing Laravel-style middleware using listeners would be extremely cumbersome, requiring pattern matching against routes using various regular expressions. Is there a more efficient approach to accomplish this?

PHPoker: Library and Hand Evaluator

If anybody is interested, I posted about it awhile ago, finally got around to finishing it.

♦️♥️♣️♠️ PHPoker
https://github.com/PHPoker/Poker

A PHP library for working with playing cards, specifically poker (based on Nuno's Skeleton-PHP, great package).

It started off as a port of Kevin "CactusKev" Suffecool's Poker Hand Evaluator (both 5/7 card), written in C, and then I added some additional stuff to round it out and improve the developer experience a bit.

I am sure the direct C implementation Kevin will be more performant, but this is actually a very faithful port of his algorithm, including the "perfect hash" improvements contributed by Paul Senzee. Since PHP is written in C under the hood, it may not actually be as far behind as one would expect. I will do some real performance benchmarks soon and add to the ReadMe.

My version is also nicer to use from a development perspective, if I do say so myself.

Check it out, let me know what you think, or feel free to submit an issue, PR, or idea via GitHub. 🙏

Also - shoutout to CactusKev, not only for sharing his code with the detailed explanations, but he actually responded to an e-mail I sent. There was a typo on his example code which caused me some headaches before I figured it out and let him know. He was super humble and supportive that people were still using his code, and seemed like a cool and smart guy. 🌵🧊
