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.

- 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 ini-serializer
INI encode/decode
A flexible PHP library for parsing and generating INI files with flexible type handling, customizable formatting options, and full control over serialization behavior.
Features
- Intelligent Type Conversion: Automatically converts values to proper PHP types (integers, floats, booleans, null)
- Customizable Type Aliases: Define your own values for
null,true, andfalse - Comment Support: Handles both
;and#style comments (configurable) - Grouped Sections: Full support for INI sections
[group_name] - Flexible Formatting: Control quote usage and spacing around equal signs
- Bidirectional: Parse INI strings to PHP arrays and emit PHP arrays back to INI format
- UTF-8 Ready: Built-in mbstring support for proper Unicode handling
Why Use This Over PHP's Native parse_ini_file()?
1. Predictable Type Conversion
- This library explicitly converts typed values (bool, null, int, float)
- You can configure which string values represent
true,false, andnull
2. Complete Bidirectional Support
- Native
parse_ini_file()only reads INI files - This library can generate INI files from PHP arrays, maintaining structure
3. Formatting Control
- Configure spacing around equal signs
- Control whether strings are quoted
- Generate consistently formatted INI files
4. Customizable Comment Characters
- Change which characters are treated as comments
- Useful for different INI dialects
5. Better Boolean Handling
- Recognizes multiple boolean representations:
- True:
true,on,yes - False:
false,off,no
- True:
- All case-insensitive
6. Proper Null Handling
- Distinguishes between empty strings and null values
- Recognizes
nullandnilas null values
7. Group Name Escaping
- Properly handles special characters in section names
[group_name]
Limitations
⚠️ Important: This library does not resolve PHP constants or environment variables.
- PHP constants like
\PHP_VERSIONor\E_ALLare treated as regular strings - Environment variables are not interpolated during parsing
- If you need constant/environment variable support, you should handle that separately before parsing or after parsing
