Is it okay to have two classes that extend from Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User?

I'm currently working on a portfolio project, and I am creating a basic Electronic Health Records system (my last job was in the medical industry).

While the lead developer at my last job made some bad mistakes in the initial design, something I warmed up to was having both Patients and Users (Doctors, Nurses, etc) in their own tables, regardless of having some similar fields (first/last, login/password). I found that having these as separate entities vastly helped development and debugging.

I'm now using Laravel (and Jetstream/Livewire), and am wondering if creating a separate model/table for Patients and having it also extend Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User could cause any potential issues. I'm only planning on using the built in auth system, and some kind of 2FA for HIPPA compliance. There is also a slight chance of creating a RESTful API down the road.

Are there any potential pitfalls I should be aware of?

I'll also add that I'm developing this with TDD via Pest.

Turboframe modal not closing upon form submit after adding LiveCollectionType formtype

The modal form close upon form submit just fine until I added LiveCollectionType::class.

I am using this LiveCollectionType so that I can add and remove items dynamically. Pretty much copied from Turbo examples.

It works fine. I can submit form and entities r added to database. Only that the modal frame doesnt close after form submit. If i doesnt use livecollectiontype::class, the modal closes upon form submission.

So what r the things that I missunderstand in using Livecollectiontype:class and turbo frame modal?

Anyone migrated a legacy PHP project (e.g. Question2Answer) to PHP 8 using GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT?

Hey all,

I'm working with an older PHP web app — specifically a **Question2Answer (Q2A)** instance that's currently stuck on PHP 7.x. The official repo [on GitHub](https://github.com/q2a/question2answer) hasn't been very active, and there are a bunch of known incompatibilities with PHP 8 (e.g. `create_function`, old-style constructors, etc).

I'm considering using **GitHub Copilot**, **ChatGPT**, or even setting up an **agentic AI flow** to help modernise the codebase. My goal is to get it PHP 8+ compatible without having to refactor hundreds of files by hand.

Has anyone here tried:

* Migrating a large PHP 5.x or 7.x codebase to PHP 8+?
* Using Copilot or LLMs to assist with deprecated code fixes?
* Targeting open-source platforms like Q2A?

Would love to hear any success stories, gotchas, or workflow tips. Is Copilot helpful in practice for this kind of migration, or does it become a “review every line anyway” situation?

Cheers!

What would you want to see in the next Laracon?

With all the new developments in NativePHP (just heard that now supports filament), I'd love to see a live demonstration of building and running a mobile app on stage.

How cool would it be if Taylor coded something like a todo list app live in a few minutes and ran it on an android device? But that's just me, I love watching people code live lol.

What would you want to see?

Garlic-Hub: Open-Source, Self-Hosted Digital Signage CMS

I’m building in public and open source because the digital signage industry lacks transparency, with mostly cloud services or complicated outdated open-source solutions available.

What is garlic-hub?

Garlic-hub is a self-hosted, open-source digital signage solution

Digital Signage needs two parts:

garlic-hub as CMS: A modern CMS using a contemporary tech stack for easy use and deployment.
PHP 8.3 with SLim4 framework
Docker for simple, portable deployment
SMIL as Open Standard for Playlists
Modern vanilla JavaScript and HTML5 for fewer dependencies in the frontend
Player: I have already developed a media player named garlic-player which runs on Linux, Windows, macOS (Intel+Arm), and Android

Ways to contribute / Feedback welcome on:

Key features you’d expect in a digital signage CMS
Would you test or use Garlic-Hub?

I’d be really happy if you could star the repo to show your support:
https://github.com/sagiadinos/garlic-hub

Docker images available (x86 + ARM64):

🚀 Built an AI-Powered User Manager in Laravel (Live Demo + Code)

Hey devs! 👋

Just wanted to share a cool sample project I live-coded using Laravel + Filament + LarAgent — an AI-powered User Manager that can:

📊 Count users
Read use data
💳 Change subnoscription plans
💬 All via a chat interface powered by LLMs

Instead of a classic admin panel, we let an AI agent handle the logic — with tools, memory, and real-time responses.

📺 Watch the livestream replay **https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_t6r6HIGERU&t=2s&ab\_channel=PunyapalShah**
💻 Source code on GitHub: github.com/MaestroError/punyapal-usermanager-agent

Recommendations for learning PHP

I was wondering if there are any good resources that could be recommended to learn PHP or ones that seem beginner-friendly? Hoping to learn Laravel following on from this:)

I know JavaScript, HTML, CSS and React for reference. Very much starting out still so to speak. Thank you in advance!

How to know if user is connected or not ?

I am really sorry if my question is stupid (I fell stupid asking it :D )

I have an app with 2 parts :
\- a VueJS front (SPA)
\- an API in Symfony

My app is available for both public and logged users. It's an SPA (so users change pages and pages "make" api calls to retrieve data)
Logged users have specials access (like posting comments etc.)

The authentication is JWT based with a token stored in http-only cookie.

My question is simple: how do you determine if a user is logged in, so you can, for example, show a dropdown in the navbar with their profile picture and access to settings?

My initial approach would be to create a dedicated route that simply returns whether the user is logged in or not. And call this route early when the app loads.

Do you have better idea to do it ?
How would you dot it ?
