FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package hhvm-four-shim

hhvm-four-shim

Supporting hhvm 4 for as long as possible.

Branch

You are currently looking at the hhvm@next (6 and above) branch of this repository.

Why is this needed?

HTL software supports a large range of hhvm versions. Older hhvm versions need some arcane incantations that newer hhvm versions do not support anymore. This library allows me provide two definitions for one function, and load the right one based on your reported hhvm version.

For example, varray(...) is not supported on hhvm@next, but required to be used in some edge cases on hhvm version 4.102. downgrade_vecish is an alternate spelling for varray(...) on hhvm 4 and for vec(...) on hhvm 6.

Future of hhvm 4 support

I wanted to add support for hhvm@next to HTL, without removing unofficial support for hhvm version 4.102 through 4.151 in the same release. This library allows me to do that. On September 1st 2025, I will drop unofficial support for hhvm version 4.151 and below. This library will stick around to support hhvm version 4.153 through 4.168 for a while. It is unclear at this time when support for these versions will be dropped.
