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...

https://github.com/ssnepenthe/mostly-static

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.

Have very small PHP/MySQL/HTML project, not sure best place to post it

I've looked at /phpjobs and /forhire and not sure the best place to post a request. I see some other websites, like Upwork, as well. But my project is pretty small and self-contained and I want to find a reliable freelancer.


Short version is that I have a website, six pages, with some read-only MySQL calls. I programmed it myself back in 2008, and hired a designer for the look and feel. I have work to do on the website (broken links, old information), but before I do anything I need to bring the PHP up from 7.3 to current 8.4. I haven't programmed anything in years and don't have the head for it anymore (I manage teams in a mainframe iSeries environment). So I need someone to review the code and update any decremented commands, and there are two widgets that no longer work, which probably have common solutions.


So this is a small project, maybe 10-15 hours, with no follow-up projects. I will post more information in a real "for hire" post, but right now not sure where is best to post it to get the right freelancer.

TALL stack + Filament = Built an invoicing app in under a week

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working with Laravel for over 10 years now, and honestly, with the TALL stack and Filament, building things has never been easier. I have been using excel 😅 to generate invoices for years and it occurred to me that I can build something with Livewire to generate and manage invoices.

Thought I’d try putting something together with Filament + Livewire, and within a week (just a few hours a day), I had a working app. It might be useful for some of you as well.

Check it out: **plaininvoice.com**
No signup or anything—just a clean way to generate and download invoices.

My Career Plan: Specializing in WordPress and Beyond

I want to specialize deeply in WordPress — and only WordPress. That means I won’t follow any other PHP frameworks anymore. My goal is to be able to build any type of system using WordPress just the way I envision it.

For example, I want to be capable of creating custom themes, booking systems, movie ticket reservations, food ordering platforms, online course platforms like Udemy, and more — all powered by WordPress.



Besides that, I also plan to study Node.js and Vue.js (or React.js), as well as technologies like Docker, Redis, Kafka, Message Queue systems, and design patterns.



So, if I follow this path, will I have a stable and promising career in the future?

Best Practices for uploads/ Directory Versioning and Filesystem Permissions in Symfony

# Question de support

# Question 1 : Gestion des versions du répertoire uploads/

Faut-il :

Versionner un répertoire `public/uploads/` vide (avec `.gitkeep`) tout en ignorant son contenu via `.gitignore` ? Exemple :/public/uploads/\ !/public/uploads/.gitkeep
Ou y a-t-il une meilleure solution pour s’assurer que le répertoire existe après le déploiement ?

# Question 2 : Autorisations du système de fichiers pour uploads/

Est-ce que ces approches sont recommandées ?

1. Utilisation des ACL (préféré) : \`\`\`bashHTTPDUSER=$(ps axo user,comm | grep -E '\[a\]pache|\[h\]ttpd|\[\_\]www|\[w\]ww-data|\[n\]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\\ -f1)Pour var/ (cache + logs) et uploads/

sudo setfacl -dR -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:$(whoami):rwX public/uploads sudo setfacl -R -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:$(whoami):rwX public/uploads

# Support Question

# Question 1: Versioning the uploads/ Directory

Should we:

* Version an empty public/uploads/ directory (with .gitkeep) while ignoring its content via .gitignore? Example:/public/uploads/\* !/public/uploads/.gitkeep 
* Or is there a better alternative to ensure the directory exists after deployment?

# Question 2: Filesystem Permissions for uploads/

Are these the recommended approaches?

1. Using ACL (preferred): \`\`\`bashHTTPDUSER=$(ps axo user,comm | grep -E '\[a\]pache|\[h\]ttpd|\[\_\]www|\[w\]ww-data|\[n\]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\\ -f1)For var/ (cache + logs) and uploads/

    Question 2: Filesystem Permissions for  uploads/
    Are these the recommended approaches?
    Using ACL (preferred):
    

bash
For var/ (cache + logs) and uploads/

HTTPDUSER=$(ps axo user,comm | grep -E 'apache|httpd|_www|www-data|nginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\ -f1)
sudo setfacl -dR -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:$(whoami):rwX public/uploads
sudo setfacl -R -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:$(whoami):rwX public/uploads

2. User/Group Permissions:
- Should the webserver user (e.g., www-data) and deployer user be in the same group?
- Example setup:

      sudo usermod -a -G www-data deployer  # Add deployer to www-data group
      sudo chown -R deployer:www-data var/ public/uploads/
      sudo chmod -R 775 var/ public/uploads/  # RWX for owner/group, RX for others
    
    2. **User/Group Permissions**:
    - Should the webserver user (e.g., `www-data`) and deployer user be in the same group?
    - Example setup:
      

bash
sudo usermod -a -G www-data deployer # Add deployer to www-data group
sudo chown -R deployer:www-data var/

public/uploads/
sudo chmod -R 775 var/ public/uploads/ # RWX for owner/group, RX for others

Pre-RFC Associated Types

Posting this on Reddit, because why not.

A few weeks ago, motivated by the RFC about allowing never as a parameter type, I started writing a proof of concept for "Associated Types" which are "generics"/"template" types limited to interfaces as they do not have a lot of the complexity relating to generic types on concrete classes, as the bound type can be determined at compile time rather than run-time.
