FAQ
Example:
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 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 debug
IMPHP - Debug
Debugging a project in PHP is not very easy, compared to the debugging done in things like a Java project. The biggest problem with PHP, which is also some of the performance benefits, is that most errors will be hidden away until the exact moment that you try to execute it. Even though you may have executed that exact file or even method/function a 100 times before, successfully.
Example
The code above could perform perfectly 1000 times, so long as an exception is never raised in the code being executed. But, as soon as an exception is raised and the code tries to invoke SomeClass, it will fail. Why? Because it will be trying to use \SomeClass rather than \namespace\SomeClass because of the extra s that was added in the use clause. We are including SomeClassS and not SomeClass. However PHP will never know about this small mistake until the exact moment that it tries to use it. This is a feature in PHP and not a mistake, because without allowing this, things like autoloading would either not be available or it would auto-include every single class file that was being used, even if they are not needed.
But regardless of why PHP is working the way it is, it still raises a lot of problems when building projects. The above example is just one of many small and common mistakes that can linger in code for ages, before finally breaking a system after it has been published. One could test this during Unit Testing, but even such tests can miss a problem or two. The more debugging done, the more issues will be found.
This package was built for internal use cases when working on IMPHP, to catch the most common issues:
- General code syntax error.
- Validate enherited datatypes.
- Validate all datatypes being used in a file.
- Check
useclauses to see if they are even used in the code. - ...
This package does not contain the entire test suides used by IMPHP, because those are specific to those projects. But it does include the main tools powering them.
