Ai Bundle

A while ago I started creating a Bundle helping me to integrate LLMs into my Symfony applications. Its supports calling the most popular providers like OpenAi, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, DeepSeek, Ollama with a unified interface. It also supports with building prompts, tool calling, returning structured data from the LLM and a basic chat persistence.
Lately I also added tool calling via MCP (stdio and HTTP) and providing MCP tools (via. HTTP).

I know, I’m not the only one with this kinds of bundle, but maybe someone finds it useful:

Function for my php chat that seems impossible to find

Guys good evening! I'm having a problem finding a function that helps me save a series of images in an ever-changing folder on my computer created through variables. It seems impossible in Chrome now due to harmful privacy policies. I also tried creating extensions but I just can't. It seems like all my attempts are met with the impossibility of achieving it. Obviously when the site is in localhost I can perfectly transfer the photos wherever I want.. help... thank you very much!!!!

Built a simple noise library in pure PHP - looking for feedback

Hello,

I've created a small library for generating noise in PHP.
The library is based on "PHP-GLFW" and its C++ implementation, but it's written entirely in pure PHP.

Initially, I updated the "https://github.com/A1essandro/perlin-noise-generator" library, which seems abandoned.

I later decided to build my own version to avoid relying on "PHP-GLFW", since it requires installation just to access a few functions.

The library: https://github.com/Cryde/noise-functions
It's still a work in progress - feel free to share your feedback or suggestions!

How I can check whether a unique index exisrts and avoid recreating it?

In an entity I have:

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Entity\Activity;

use App\Domain\Helper\UuidHelper;
use App\Entity\Business;
use App\Entity\BusinessTypes\ActivityOperator;
use App\Entity\Image\ImageEntity;
use App\Entity\Tags\Pivot\ActivityTag;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation as Gedmo;
use Gedmo\Translatable\Translatable;


#[ORM\Entity]
#[ORM\Index(name: "external_id_origin_unique", columns: ["external_id", "origin"], options: ["where" => "external_id IS NOT NULL", "unique" => true])]
class ItemFromApi 
{

    public const ORIGIN_API='api';
    public const ORIGIN_INTERNAL='internal';

    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\Column(type: 'integer')]
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy: 'AUTO')]
    private int $id;

    #[ORM\Column(type: 'string', length: 255)]
    private string $noscript;

    #[ORM\Column(type: 'integer', nullable: true)]
    public ?int $externalId = null;

    #[ORM\Column(type: 'string', length: 255)]
    public string $origin = self::ORIGIN_INTERNAL;

    // Setter and getter are ommited for siplicity

}

Then I run php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql and generates the following sql:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX external_id_origin_unique_itinerary ON item_from_api (external_id, origin);

And run upon my db, then once I run again index is re-created:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX external_id_origin_unique_itinerary ON item_from_api (external_id, origin);

How I can avoid the re-creation of this index?

A Cognitive Code Analysis Tool

Cognitive Code Analysis helps you understand and improve your code by focusing on how developers actually read and process it. Understandability is a huge cost factor because \~80% time is spent on reading and understanding code.

[https://github.com/Phauthentic/cognitive-code-analysis](https://github.com/Phauthentic/cognitive-code-analysis)

Features:

* Scans source code and reports detailed cognitive complexity metrics.
* Churn analysis (requires Git) to highlight risky, frequently changed code.
* Export results as CSV, XML, or HTML.

Unlike traditional metrics like cyclomatic complexity, this tool emphasizes cognitive complexity - how hard your code is to understand. It analyzes line count, argument count, variable usage, property access, and nesting to identify the hardest parts to maintain.

You can adjust the score calculation through configuration by setting weights for each metric, allowing you to tailor the cognitive complexity scoring to your own acceptable thresholds.

I’ve used it myself to spot risky areas early in projects. Measuring cognitive complexity is tough, but there’s academic backing for this approach. Check out this paper if you're curious:
[https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3382494.3410636](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3382494.3410636)

I'd love your constructive feedback - try it out and let me know what you think!

AI Assistant for website

I have a website coded in PHP, and I would like to add an assistant that visitors can use to get answers and assistance. For example, to ask questions about how to use our ERP. Instead of searching all of our help files, it would just respond with several answers. Has anyone seen or heard of something like this? Open Source? Thanks.
