Recently we ran into the need to load an extension for SQLite using PHP’s PDO database abstraction, which is not supported out of the box. Eventually we found a solution involving FFI and Z-Engine. In this blog post I will take you on a tour of our solution and the black magic behind it.

The cause of a memory issue is often hard to find. In the previous post in this series, we looked at two methods for finding the culprits of a memory issue. In this post, we will look at another tool for finding memory leaks: php-memprof, created by Arnaud Le Blanc.

Handling errors or other non-'happy path' situations is essential when creating robust PHP applications. Proper exception handling takes quite some effort, but will eventually result in a much more stable application. In this post, I would like to introduce you to the set of best practices we have adopted at Moxio over the years.

On type safety without generics, and the role of package design

02-06-2017

Arnout Boks

At Moxio we strongly value writing type-safe code. This can be a challenge in PHP however, especially as it lacks a feature known as ‘generics’. In this blog post I will show how (lack of) generics influences type-safe design, how parameter types and return types may change when extending a class or interface, and how we can keep our package design sound while doing so.
