My PHP learning has remained confined to building website backends, application interfaces, and scripts. What worthwhile projects are there to undertake that would deepen my understanding of PHP?
A decade-long PHP developer, preparing to package years of accumulated expertise... er, rather, encapsulated utility classes into a Composer open-source release.
Includes but is not limited to:
Common string and array utility functions
Redis+Lua implementation of atomic distributed locks and API rate limiting
Elastic-DB, modelled after Laravel's database query framework
Array comparison mapping to database CRUD operations, implemented with a simple diff algorithm inspired by Vue
Assembly for one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and row-column transformations, eliminating multi-table joins entirely
Various date and time calculations
CRUD template code generation
GD library for image compression, watermarking, text overlay, etc.
Onion-ring architecture with pipeline-based middleware chaining
JWT and signature verification
Cartesian product enumeration for multi-specification product SKUs
Sliding window algorithm for stock chart analysis
