Updated on: 2016-06-22
Posted on: 2016-06-22
Zephir is a statically typed language derived from PHP that can be compiled into native PHP extensions which can run along with PHP code based on the Zend Engine.
This HandlerSocket Client package is the first Zephir based package to be published in the PHP Classes site.
This package is able to connect to a MySQL database server and treat INNODB tables as NoSQL databases, thus allowing PHP developers to take advantage of both worlds in the same application: the world of transactional databases with regular SQL and the world of NoSQL databases.

Cooperative multitasking is a way to execute multiple tasks concurrently.
Only one task runs at each moment but it gives the turn to the next task in the list of concurrent tasks, for instance when it needs to wait for some I/O operation to complete, like accesses to files, databases, or network connections.
This class implements a manager for cooperative multitasking in pure PHP.
It takes advantage of generators introduced in PHP 5.5 to let one task decide when it can give the control to the next task.

Updated on: 2016-12-23
Posted on: 2016-06-15
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) are a type of security attacks that may cause user accounts to be abused, so attackers can make users perform actions inadvertently in a vulnerable site and cause serious problems to the users and the sites.
There is a new proposal for PHP 7.1 to provide built-in semi-automatic protection against CSRF attacks, so it will be easier for PHP developers to protect the sites they develop against this type of exploit.
That was one of the main topics discussed by Manuel Lemos and Arturs Sosins in the episode 72 of the Lately in PHP podcast hangout.
They also talked about other proposals for PHP 7.1, as well the election of two release managers that will take care of the steps necessary to release PHP 7.1 later this year on the planned schedule.
This article includes a transcript of the podcast summary.
Listen to the podcast, or watch the hangout video, or read the summary transcript to learn more about these interesting PHP topics.

Asynchronous programming is a way to create programs that can execute multiple parallel tasks faster in the same process by executing code while other parts if the programs wait for I/O operations to finish, like database accesses, file accesses, network accesses, etc..
ReactPHP is a low level library similar to JavaScript Node.js that can be used to implement asynchronous programming in PHP, so you can write PHP code that can efficiently access multiple files, databases, or network computers in parallel, making everything faster.
The PHP Nuclear Reactor is library based on PIMF micro-framework that implements the MVC design pattern on top of ReactPHP.
This way you can continue to write PHP MVC components the way you are used to do, and still work well in an asynchronous programming environment based on ReactPHP.

Blog: Corcel (Laravel + WordPress) package blog
Package: Corcel (Laravel + WordPress)
WordPress is certainly the most popular PHP application ever. However, many PHP developers do not like to develop on top of its code because it is in great part not based on object oriented code and does not follow the latest PHP framework trends.
Nowadays many developers love newer frameworks like Laravel to build their applications.
The Corcel framework brings the two worlds: WordPress and Laravel or other modern frameworks.
Read this article to learn how you can use the Corcel framework to build applications on the top of WordPress backend.
