Nominees to win the award of July of 2016

Class: PHP String Socializer
Description: Replace text with hash tags and social media links
Author: Luciano Salvino
Country: Argentina
Comment: Sometimes you need to post a text that has references to social network profiles or hash tags.

This class can take a given text and replace user names or hash tags prefixed with @ or # with a list of known tags to be linked to the respective social network pages.


Class: PHP IIN and BIN
Description: Identify card issuer and bank from numbers
Author: Yorch Ponce
Country: Mexico
Comment: The first digits of a credit or debit card are associated with the bank or the institution that issued the card.

This class can determine details about the bank or the card issuer by calling BinList API.


Class: BladeOne
Description: Standalone template engine that compiles into PHP
Author: Jorge Castro
Country: Chile
Comment: ASP.NET Razor is a format for defining templates that are processed on the server side by .NET applications.

This package is template engine that compiles templates into PHP code from template files in either the ASP.NET Razor and Moustache syntax.


Class: Rabbit ORM
Description: ORM for CodeIgniter based on Laravel's Eloquent
Author: Fabio Mazzo
Country: Brazil
Comment: ORM packages make it easy to store and retrieve objects from database tables records.

Many ORM packages use class variables or annotation comments to define parameters of how objects are stored and retrieved from databases.

This package provides an alternative method. It uses class constants to define the tables and the fields that will be used to store each variable of the entity classes in the database.


Class: PHP Small Server Administrator
Description: Web panel for small Debian and Ubuntu servers
Author: Aleksey Nemiro
Country: Russian Federation
Comment: Most hosting companies provide plans that let developers controls several aspects of configuration of a server via a Web browser by accessing a control panel installed in the server machine to be configured.

This package provides a more advanced solution in pure PHP that allows you to manage several aspects of configuration of hosting servers remotely.

It uses ssh to communicate with the remote server that you want to manage and lets you perform several useful aspects like: managing user accounts, starting and stopping local servers and or services, configuring Web servers, managing files and directories, as well monitoring the server machine user resources.


Class: Automator Shell Action Tools
Description: Process console input and environment variables
Author: Karl Holz
Country: Canada
Comment: When PHP runs from the command line it can take parameters from an array, but if the data is passed as command input it must be read as file.

However, if no input stream is passed PHP may hang waiting for the input data to be read from what the user types in the console.

This class solves this problem but making adding a timeout of 1 second when attempting to read data from the input. If no input file is passed, PHP will not hang anymore. If an input file is passed, the class will read all its lines into an array.

Additionally it can retrieve the array of environment variables, discarding a given list of irrelevant variables.


Class: Faster PHP IP2Location
Description: Faster method to find the location of IP addresses
Author: Chi Hoang
Country: France
Comment: IP2Location is a well known service that uses database files to determine the location of IP addresses of given ranges.

Usually it uses the binary search method to find the location of a given IP address, so it reduces the amount of information to be read from IP2Location database file.

The class implements a more optimized method to lookup the location of IP address in pure PHP code. It departs from a database file from IP2Location more efficient data structures to lookup.


Class: CMS Airship
Description: Content management system with security features
Author: Scott Arciszewski
Country: United States
Comment: PHP is often blamed for being an insecure language. This is not a fair claim because, as a language, PHP is not more insecure than most other Web programming languages.

The bad reputation could be attributed to some applications like WordPress and others that can be easily extended with plugins developed by programmers that may not be so security aware as they should.

The CMS Airship package is a content management system package that was developed and managed to be secure by design.

It is mainly a blog engine with support for multi-site environments.

It can be extended with add-ons that can be reviewed and controlled by the community, thus helping to quickly fix any security matters that the community finds.


Class: Deferred Exceptions
Description: Queue exceptions and throws them afterwards
Author: magog
Country: Russian Federation
Comment: Sometimes you need to call different functions in sequence and be able to see what exceptions they throw.

Usually if one function throws one exception, you cannot see what exceptions the other functions would have thrown.

This package provides a trait that allows you to queue multiple exceptions thrown by classes that use the trait. This way you can have access to the whole list of thrown exceptions throw the last or all exceptions that happened.


Class: PHP Silex REST Multi Lazy Load
Description: Create REST APIs with module lazy loading
Author: John Diaz
Country: Colombia
Comment: Many packages can implement APIs that map requests to classes that will handle the API requests.

Great part of those packages require that you create objects that will handle the API requests.

This package simplifies the process by just specifying the name of the modules that will handle the requests.

This way the package will only load the classes and create the necessary micro-service and controller objects when the respective API requests are received.


Class: Jaxon
Description: Call PHP classes from JavaScript using AJAX
Author: Thierry Feuzeu
Country: France, Metropolitan
Comment: Many Web applications have browser side (JavaScript) code making AJAX calls to server side code in PHP that is mapped to classes of objects.

Usually the server side code needs to register classes or functions that will handle the AJAX calls.

However, when you have many classes to handle your Web application AJAX calls, registering classes one by one can be a tedious time consuming task.

The package provides a more efficient method to register many classes at once. You just specify a directory and the package will lookup and load the classes on demand when the AJAX calls are received.

This way you also do not have to waste time instantiating objects of the handler classes until they are necessary.
