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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package php80-stringable-polyfill

Latest Stable Version

Plyfill of Stringable interface of PHP8.0 to PHP7.4+

Allows to use Stringable interface, which will be in PHP8.0, in PHP7.4+.

Motivation

Current polyfill in sympfony/polyfill did not meet my needs.

First it did not follow explicitly the same interface signature (link) as in proposal (return type missing).

Secondly I discovered from __toString documentation that it was not possible to throw an exception from within a __toString() method before PHP 7.4.0. Doing so will result in a fatal error. The symphony/polyfill does not warn about it and allows to use polyfill starting from PHP 7.0.8. This package is explicit about this restriction in composer.json thus avoiding misuse.

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Guilliam Xavier for posting alternative names to Stringable interface. Although his recommendations where not accepted Google picked up the keywords. I was solving the same problem and where checking up my name candidates when I stumbled to Guilliam's post. Instead of continuing my own now I can create future compatible solutions that are easier to justify.
