What's the best way to handle a open source SaaS product with managed hosted version?

I currently build a customer feedback tool with Symfony and i thinking about making it open source similar to plausible with a managed hosting version. But obviously there should be no payment and Google login in the open source version what's the best way to handling it? Should I create a Symfony bundle or create a fork of the open source version for the managed version? Just curious what do you think about how to handle this use case in Symfony.

I made a tiny PHPUnit extension for PSR-7, XML/HTML and JSON assertions

Hi! I found myself often struggling with testing against server PSR-7 responses, XML and JSON documents, Frameworks like Laravel and Symfony offer useful assertions for that but it's often that a project is not using either of the frameworks or it's just not enough. So I made an extension to PHPUnit:

https://github.com/stein197/phpunit-extended

I'd be glad if someone finds its also useful or finds any issues with it

PHP named argument unpacking

Hello, I am planning to make an RFC but before that I wanted to know your opinion on it.

Currently PHP allows named arguments so we can do something like this:

function calc(int $number, int $power): int

calc(number: $number, power: $power);

But when we have a variable parameter.

function calc(int $number, int ...$power): int

It is not possible to call the function using named parameters since PHP does not know how to group variable parameters so this is my proposal:

calc(number: $number, power: { $calc_number_1, $calc_number_2, $calc_number_3 });

{ } could be used only when trying to call a function with named parameters and one of its parameters is variadic.

A simpler example to visualize would be this:

function calc(array $into, array ...$insert): array

calc(insert: { $var_1, $var_2, $var_3 }, into: $my_array);

This syntax is much clearer and easier to understand than:

calc(insert: [$var_1, $var_2, $var_3], into: $my_array);

Also, another point to take into account is that with this new syntax, you could combine "parameters by reference" with "named parameters"
For example:

function build_user(int $type, mixed &...$users) {
foreach($users as &$user) {
// Any actions
$user = new my\User(...);
}

build_user(type: $user_type, users: { $alice, $dominic, $patrick });

$alice->name('Alice');

$dominic->name('dominic');

$patrick->name('patrick');

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is already an extra:

If when using named parameters together with the variadic variable, the unpacker returns as a key the name of the sent variable you could do something like this:

function extract(string $path, mixed &...$sources) {
foreach( $sources as $type => &$source) {
switch($type) {
case: 'css':
$source = new my\CSS($path);
break;
case: 'js':
$source = new my\JS($path);
default:
$source = null;
}
}

extract(path: $my_path, sources: { $css, $js });

print $css;

print $js;

Another extra:

It would also be possible to have more than one variadic parameter in a function.

function zoo(int $id, Mammals ...$mammals, ...Cetaseans $cetaceans, Birds ...$birds)

zoo(id: $id, mammals: { $elephants, $giraffes, $wolves }, cetaseans: { $belugas }, birds: { $eagles, $hummingbirds });

How much overhead does DDEV take when the applications are in operation?

When the web, database and other service related containers setup for docker by DDEV are in operation do the requests have to be proxied through some DDEV services running in the background?

I take it that with some DDEV services listening on port 80 and 443 on the Docker host there may be some overhead, but does that entail some real computational work?

I just want to ascertain that other than issuing the ddev commands to the docker containers DDEV doesn't incur much overhead, and that any overhead will be down to the containers themselves.

One month into PHP and I feel like I’m getting nowhere. Is this normal ?

I’ve just started learning PHP from scratch it’s been almost a month now. But honestly, I’m finding it super boring. Feels like I’m not getting anywhere. I study, but nothing sticks… I keep forgetting everything. Does this happen to everyone, or is it just me?

Backup laravel mail Sender

Is there a way to have a bacup mail Sender, example: my main sender returned some kind of error, so the app tries to send in another one.

I did some research and find nothing about it.

Laravel but static?

A while back I did this small static site using jigsaw plus some simple form handling in php. It worked fine, wasn't my favorite to work with, and I kept thinking I should just have just gone with insert framework here behind cloudflare with some aggressive caching... But something something sunk cost lets just keep going.

Fast forward maybe 6 months, and I see the static pages feature in tempest and I have a "yeah that makes perfect sense, why didn't I think of that" moment.

So since I already have a bunch of blade templates for this site I decided to see what it would take to get static pages in laravel. Simpler than I expected...

It's a bit rough around the edges and I doubt I will spend much time improving it/cleaning it up. But I thought I would share in case anyone else finds it useful as a starting point for doing something similar.
