I finally solved my Composer hanging/stuck issue 🚀
Set up a local proxy server and routed downloads using PHP stream functions.

Added real-time debugging with log files to trace where it was freezing.

Result: smooth installs, zero guesswork 😌

The other night I made this little #PHP tool that validates #PHPDoc annotations against the actual method signature, to make sure that they are compatible and don't drift apart over time.

I use it as a quick check before running #PHPStan to make sure that the static analysis is correctly informed. Published it on #Packagist in case anyone else would find it useful too: https://packagist.org/packages/nsrosenqvist/phpdoc-validator

Note for our PHP users: We've upgraded Composer to the latest version, but we've disabled the vulnerability check for now. This is probably an edge case of an edge case, as we do actively track PHP package vulns, but keeping the check in there would lead to a heap of pain for us.

Of course, let us know if you see a package updated to a known vulnerable version, that should definitely not happen.

Just in time for the end of 2025 (at least in my time zone), I released version 1.0.0 of my new #RectorExtension that replaces the native type declaration set. The special thing about it: no breaking changes!

This means: no changes to parameter types or return types if your class/method is not private or final. This is particularly important for library maintainers who want to use #Rector but don't want to have any breaking changes.

If you are a maintainer of a #PHP library and #backwardcompatibility is important to you, then check it out on #packagist:

Happy new year! 🥳

How to use local packages in Composer: a guide for PHP developers

When working on a PHP project, it’s common to rely on external libraries published on Packagist. Composer makes installing and managing these dependencies effortless. But what if you need to work with a dependency locally, outside Packagist?

Woot! Abivia Ledger for Laravel passes 25K downloads through Packagist!

This makes it the most popular piece of open source code I've written, ever. Also apparently one of the most bug-free. Just 12 issues on GitHub in over three years, and most of those not related to bugs.

My personal mission to help developers avoid building ill-conceived accounting logic into their applications continues!
