SheafUI Starter Kit, Zero dependency Laravel boilerplate with 16 components you actually own

SheafUI Starter Kit is different:

When you install it, you get 16 beautiful UI components that are copy-pasted directly into your Laravel project. They become YOUR code. Modify them, customize them, remove SheafUI CLI entirely if you want and your components stay.

What's included:

\- Complete authentication system (registration, login, password reset)

\- Dashboard with functional components

\- User settings and profile management

\- Toast notification system (works with Livewire + controllers)

\- 16 production-ready UI components (buttons, forms, modals, etc.)

\- Zero external dependencies (except sheaf/cli for installation)

True code ownership:

\- Copy-paste installation model

\- No vendor lock-in

\- Remove SheafUI anytime - your code remains

Check it out: https://sheafui.dev/docs/guides/starter-kit

Anyone else tired of not actually owning their UI code? What's your experience with vendor lock-in?

Do you embed PHP code in the blade file or barely? If you do, where is the boundary that determines that it is fine in the blade or it should be in the PHP component class? I'm in a bind.

Which is better for passing and displaying schedules to the calendar that uses CSS grid? In the livewire component, ready the collection with empty items for the sake of putting an empty grid item and display the schedules correctly or do it in the blade file by writing/embedding php code and using foreach loop?

Are PHP developers underestimating the power of typed properties in real projects?

PHP has been gradually adding type safety features like typed properties and union types. In real-world applications, are developers actually using these features to improve code reliability, or do they mostly stick to dynamic typing out of habit? I’d love to hear examples or experiences of teams successfully adopting these features - or the challenges you’ve faced in doing so.

MapQueryBuilder in 7.3 parsing problem

Hello everyone,

I have a problem in app, and I wondered if any of you had the same ?

I have a route with an invoke like this :
__invoke(...stuffs, #[MapRequestPayload] MyDTO $dto)
{
dump($dto);
}

MyDTO class construct looks like this :

public function __construct(
..stuffs,
/**@var array<MyOtherDTO> */
public array $otherDTOs = []
)

The problem is that when getting datas from the request through the MapRequestPayload, instead of having in MyDTO an array of MyOtherDTO, I get an array of arrays...
I tried to rollback to Symfony 7.2 and it reworked perfectly, so I'm sure the problem was introduced by the update to 7.3.

Does any of you have similar issue ?
Thx 😀

Is PHP still in demand in the AI-Tech era?

Well, guys you will agree with me - AI can write basic codes or maybe advanced code in the upcoming days. But AI lacks creativity and leadership. That's where human come into the picture. If you're creative enough and the one who like to play with code then, nobody can take your job. You are in demand today, tomorrow and in the future.

Let me give you some data which makes my statement more stronger.

According to Clariontech, PHP is used by approximately 75%-79% of all websites utilizing server-side language, with WordPress (built on PHP) alone fueling up 43% of the internet world in 2025. A survey done by Stack Overflow Developer in 2025 revealed that PHP becomes the top 10 most utilized language among developers worldwide, which shows the strong dominance of PHP in the global market.

Now, comes to the job scope of PHP. According to Bitbyhost, the demand for PHP developer is skyrocketing in this AI era, with hunders and thousands of job posting worldwide and salaries averaging $89,500 in the US (Indeed Salary Data, 2025).

Now comes to the entry-level PHP jobs.

According to Accesto, entry-level PHP developer job continues to increase due to vast number of PHP-based legacy systems and ongoing site development, especially for CMS solutions and APIs.

From these data, we can say that PHP is not "dead", it holds a strong position in the modern web development with continued updates and vast developers ecosystem.

As PHP has huge demand in the market so, US medium-sized and giant companies like Microsoft, Meta, Technource and Bairesdev are hiring PHP developers by offering attractive packages because they know the value of PHP developers in this AI-Tech era.

So, guys from the above data and statements you can understand the essence and demand for PHP developers in 2025. So, if you want to learn PHP then, go for it without any second thought. If you're persuing PHP then, focus and learn it and also become creative which makes you unique in the long-term.

One thing is left to say from my side "All the Best guys for your upcoming bright and shiny career."

My PHP httpresponsecode is not sending status 200 but status code 302?

Hi all I am facing an issue with my Webhook response code whereby I am sending a Http response code of 302 (redirect) based on my http server logs.
This 302 redirect is overriding my default HTTP response code 200 I have set up in my noscripts.
The 302 redirect is coming from the requireonce in my main noscript below but it is after my httpresponsecode(200).
Any suggestion how do I ensure only my main noscript's httpresponcecode(200) is being sent out and not the requireonce files.
We are using PHP version 5 on our end.
Code snippet as below:


  if (hashequals($providedsignature, $yourHash)) {

    httpresponsecode(200);

    if ($product === 'v1'){
        $pymntGateway='curlec';
        requireonce "v1backend.php"; (302 redirect from here)
    }
    elseif ($product === 'v2'){
        $pymntGateway='curlec';
        requireonce "v2backend.php"; (302 redirect from here)
    }
    else{
        httpresponsecode(202);
        exit('Unknown product.');
    }

  }
  else{
      httpresponsecode(403); // Forbidden
    exit('Invalid signature.');
  }

Benchmark difference with FrankenPHP vs without FrankenPHP?

I was looking at the TechEmpower Web Benchmark, PHP section: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r23&l=zik073-pa7

I would imagine FrankenPHP has better performance because it is written in Go, etc, but I noticed something unexpected from the benchmark.

The best performer is "php-ngx-pgsql" with a score of 785961 but "php-frankenphp" is way down the list with a score of only 129068. FrankenPHP seems to perform even worse than Fiber-based solutions (e.g. Workerman, which has a best record "workerman-pgsql" with score 742577, right after "php-ngx-pgsql").

What might explain this huge benchmark score difference? One guess by me is that the Benchmark did not adjust the FrankenPHP worker count, which greatly limits the performance potential of FrankenPHP. If FrankenPHP is limited by worker count, then naturally it's not gonna perform well.

What do you like/dislike about pho

Hello everyone, pretty new coding world, self taught, I’m currently hired on to be a frontend coder, so mostly dealing with Vue, HTML, React, and those type of things. Mainly using VS Code.

But I would like to become more familiar with backend. I already mess with it a bit but not really, I added a missing field that I need for one of my checks.

I know the backend uses Laravel as their framework, php, mongodb and MySQL. And was wondering if anyone could give me some tips or tricks that you wish you knew about working in the backend in general or with php
