pdf-to-zpl: A library that encodes PDFs and Images into a printable format (image manipulation with PHP)

This may seem like a niche issue but anyone that has worked will Zebra printers will have come across it. Even if you've never ran into this issue, check out the code so you can see how to work with images and PDFs using GD and Imagick. Any suggestions / improvements are welcome!

https://github.com/benfaerber/pdf-to-zpl

Here's how the algorithm works:

1. Loads the PDF and render each page as image using Imagick
2. Scale the image to match the DPI and aspect ratio of the label
3. Convert each page into a grayscaled bitmap
4. Run line encode the bitmap and marshall it into a ZPL binary representation

Ecotone Framework - New website and Enterprise version

Hey,

Some of you may already know me, I am author of Ecotone Framework and I am posting PHP related articles about Message-Driven Systems, DDD and Architecture in general.
And today I would like to share two big changes to Ecotone Framework, that I've been working on for over year.

I know that due to volume of features, Ecotone's documentation may require time to fully go over different functionalities and reasoning behind them.
And of course not everyone have time to do so, or simply one could feel that all the tools Ecotone provides he already use therefore there is no point in testing it out.
Therefore to make it clear what Ecotone is about, what it provides, without requiring bigger time investment, Ecotone comes now with new website at: https://ecotone.tech

The aim of new website is to provide as much as possible details to get general feeling, without the need to install or run the framework itself.
New website provides denoscription of features, detailed code examples, and steps on how to get started.
I hope this will be helpful in giving more details on Ecotone in quick and easy way, and will help to make the decision whatever it can help your project.

The other big thing which Ecotone brings to the table, is Enterprise version.
Ecotone Enterprise includes more custom advanced features, additional integrations, and ability to optimizatize the system usage.
The aim of Enterprise is to get more support for Ecotone, in order to build even more tooling around it.
To get more details about some of the core Enterprise features, you take a look on today's article: https://blog.ecotone.tech/ecotone-enterprise-kafka-distributed-bus-dynamic-channels-and-more-2

thank you,
cheers :)

Filament Json Column - Releasing v1.6.1

Hey everyone!
If you've used FilamentPHP, you might have heard about Filament Json Column, as the plugin is now getting closer to a 100K downloads.
I've made a new release, with a whole rewritten code base for better maintainability (Ok, it's not that big but still). I've added the following features:

Validation: If the JSON is invalid, the user can't switch tabs or submit. An error message is displayed on submission. Error message can be customized and supports \`\_\_()\`
Editor mode customization (code, text, tree, etc...)

Please see the updated docs on the link above. Planning to add an Infolist component, and some Alpine automated testing. If you have suggestions, or want to contribute, please don't hesitate to send me a message here or a pull request on GitHub.
Have a great day!

Is it possible to embed a CRUD within another CRUD using EasyAdmin?

I am working on a Symfony 7 project that uses EasyAdmin 4 for the back-office. I have a Formation entity that can have multiple Prices.

In the creation and editing views of Formation, I would like to add a "Prices" tab containing an index and a CRUD EasyAdmin to manage (create and modify) the prices associated with the formation. How can I achieve this?

I have looked for tutorials but haven't found anything similar. I also tried to figure it out on my own, but it didn't lead to any conclusive results.

here is an example of what i'm trying to do

is there in-memory search engine for PHP?

Does php have an in-memory search library?
like https://duckdb.org? or lucene?

I'm aware of elasticsearch and solr and redis search, but was hoping for something simpler.

Good exception patterns to follow?

I recently saw that a colleague had defined a method in his new exception class called asHttpResponse() that sends back an instance of Psr\\Http\\Message\\ResponseInterface.

That got me thinking: Are there other patterns related to exceptions that are simple, easy to follow and helpful? I know woefully little about this topic.

Full disclosure: If I really like what you have to say, I'm likely to steal it for a lightning talk :-)

“Why Haven’t We Seen Another Web Language Like PHP in 30 Years?”

PHP is unique among web programming languages because it was designed from the start to be embedded directly into HTML, making it feel more like a natural extension of the web rather than a separate backend system. Unlike modern frameworks and languages that enforce strict separation between logic and presentation, PHP allows developers to mix HTML and server-side code seamlessly, making it incredibly accessible for beginners and efficient for quick development.

Even after 30 years, no other mainstream language has replicated this approach successfully. Most alternatives either rely on templating engines, APIs, or complex frameworks that separate backend logic from HTML. Why do you think PHP remains the only language to work this way? Is it a relic of the past, or does it still hold a special place in web development?

The end is near: Packagist is returning 500 responses randomly

Packagist web interface seems to throw Internal server errors without any reason. Reloading somtimes helps. Or it helps after 5 tries.

No call for help. Just wanted to announce armageddon.
