作为一个PHP开发者，现在是一个令人激动的时刻。每天有许许多多有用的库分发出来，在  上很容易发现和使用这些库。下面是我曾经遇到过最酷的24个库。你最喜欢的库没有在这个列表里面？那就在评论中分享吧！

1. Dispatch – 微框架

 是一个PHP小框架。它并没有给你完整的MVC设置，但你可以定义URL规则和方法，以便更好组织应用程序。这对API、简单的站点或原型来说是完美的。

//包含库include 'dispatch.php'; // 定义你的路由get('/greet', function () {
        //渲染视图    render('greet-form');}); //post处理post('/greet', function () {
          $name = from($_POST, 'name');  // render a view while passing some locals    render('greet-show', array('name' => $name));}); // serve your sitedispatch();

你可以匹配特定类型的HTTP请求和路径，渲染视图或做更多事情。如果你合并Dispatch和其他框架，那你就可以拥有一个相当强大并且轻量级的程序！

2. Klein – PHP快如闪电的路由

 是另一款针对PHP5.3+版本的轻量级路由库。虽然它有一些比Dispatch冗长的语法，但它相当快。这有一个例子：

respond('/[:name]', function ($request) {
          echo 'Hello ' . $request->name;});

你也可以定制来指定HTTP方法和使用正则表达式作为路径。

respond('GET', '/posts', $callback);respond('POST', '/posts/create', $callback);respond('PUT', '/posts/[i:id]', $callback);respond('DELETE', '/posts/[i:id]', $callback); //匹配多种请求方法:respond(array('POST','GET'), $route, $callback); //你或许也想在相同的地方处理请求respond('/posts/[create|edit:action] /[i:id] ', function ($request, $response) {
          switch ($request->action) {        // do something    }});

对于小型项目来说这是很棒的，但当你把一个像这样的库用于大型应用时，你不得不遵守规矩，因为你的代码可能很快就变得不可维护。所以你最好搭配一个像 或者  这样完全成熟的框架。

3. Ham – 带缓存的路由库

 也是一款轻量级的路由框架，但是它利用缓存甚至获得了更快的速度。它通过把任何I/O相关的东西缓存进XCache/APC。下面是一个例子：

require '../ham/ham.php';$app = new Ham('example');$app->config_from_file('settings.php');$app->route('/pork', function($app) {  return "Delicious pork.";});$hello = function($app, $name='world') {  return $app->render('hello.html', array(    'name' => $name  ));};$app->route('/hello/
     
      ', $hello);$app->route('/', $hello);$app->run();
     

这个库要求你至少安装了XCache和APC其中的一个，这可能意味着，在大多数主机提供商提供的主机上它可能用不了。但是如果你拥有一个安装它们其一的主机，或者你可以操控你的web服务器，你应该尝试这款最快的框架。

4. Assetic – 资源管理

 是一个PHP的资源管理框架，用于合并和减小了CSS/JS资源。下面是例子。

use Assetic\Asset\AssetCollection;use Assetic\Asset\FileAsset;use Assetic\Asset\GlobAsset; $js = new AssetCollection(array(    new GlobAsset('/path/to/js/*'),    new FileAsset('/path/to/another.js'),)); //当资源被输出时，代码会被合并echo $js->dump();

以这种方式合并资源是一个好主意，因为它可以加速站点。不仅仅总下载量减小了，也消除了大量不必要的HTTP请求(这是最影响页面加载时间的两件事)

5. ImageWorkshop – 带层的图片处理

 是一个让你操控带层图片的开源库。借助它你可以重定义尺寸、裁剪、制作缩略图、打水印或做更多事情。下面是一个例子：

// 从norway.jpg图片初始化norway层$norwayLayer = ImageWorkshop::initFromPath('/path/to/images/norway.jpg');  // 从watermark.png图片初始化watermark层(水印层)$watermarkLayer = ImageWorkshop::initFromPath('/path/to/images/watermark.png');  $image = $norwayLayer->getResult(); // 这是生成的图片! header('Content-type: image/jpeg');imagejpeg($image, null, 95); // We choose to show a JPG with a quality of 95%exit;

ImageWorkshop被开发用于使一些PHP中最通用的处理图片的案例简化，如果你需要一些更强大的东西，你应该看下  ！

6. Snappy – 快照/PDF库

 是一个PHP5库，可以生成快照、URL、HTML、PDF。它依赖于 binary（在Linux，Windows和OSX上都可用）。你可以像这样使用它们：

require_once '/path/to/snappy/src/autoload.php';  use Knp\Snappy\Pdf;  //通过wkhtmltopdf binary路径初始化库$snappy = new Pdf('/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf');  //通过把Content-type头设置为pdf来在浏览器中展示pdf header('Content-Type: application/pdf');header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.pdf"');  echo $snappy->getOutput('http://www.github.com');

要注意，你的主机提供商可能不允许调用外部二进制程序。

7. Idiorm – 轻量级ORM库

 是个人之前在本网站教程中用过最喜爱的一款。它是一款轻量级的ORM库，一个建立在PDO之上的PHP5查询构造器。借助它，你可以忘记如何书写乏味的SQL：

$user = ORM::for_table('user')  ->where_equal('username', 'j4mie')  ->find_one();$user->first_name = 'Jamie';$user->save();$tweets = ORM::for_table('tweet')  ->select('tweet.*')  ->join('user', array(    'user.id', '=', 'tweet.user_id'  ))  ->where_equal('user.username', 'j4mie')  ->find_many();foreach ($tweets as $tweet) {  echo $tweet->text;}

Idiorm有一个姊妹库叫  ，  是一个基于Idiorm的Active Record实现。

8. Underscore – PHP的工具腰带

 是原始  的一个接口 – Javascript应用的工具腰带。PHP版本没有让人失望，而且支持了几乎所有原生功能。下面是一些例子：

__::each(array(1, 2, 3), function($num) { echo $num . ','; }); // 1,2,3, $multiplier = 2;__::each(array(1, 2, 3), function($num, $index) use ($multiplier) {  echo $index . '=' . ($num * $multiplier) . ',';});// prints: 0=2,1=4,2=6, __::reduce(array(1, 2, 3), function($memo, $num) { return $memo + $num; }, 0); // 6 __::find(array(1, 2, 3, 4), function($num) { return $num % 2 === 0; }); // 2 __::filter(array(1, 2, 3, 4), function($num) { return $num % 2 === 0; }); // array(2, 4)

这个库也支持链式语法，这使得它更为强大。

9. Requests – 简单HTTP请求

 是一个简化HTTP请求的库。如果你和我一样，几乎从来都记不住传递给Curl的各种各样的参数，那么它就是为你准备的：

$headers = array('Accept' => 'application/json');$options = array('auth' => array('user', 'pass'));$request = Requests::get('https://api.github.com/gists', $headers, $options); var_dump($request->status_code);// int(200) var_dump($request->headers['content-type']);// string(31) "application/json; charset=utf-8" var_dump($request->body);// string(26891) "[…]"

借助这个库，你可以发送HEAD、GET、POST、PUT、DELTE和PATCH HTTP请求，你可以通过数组添加文件和参数，并且可以访问所有相应数据。

10. Buzz – 简单的HTTP请求库

 是另一个完成HTTP请求的库。下面是一个例子：

$request = new Buzz\Message\Request('HEAD', '/', 'http://google.com');$response = new Buzz\Message\Response(); $client = new Buzz\Client\FileGetContents();$client->send($request, $response); echo $request;echo $response;

因为它缺乏文档，所以你不得不阅读源码来获知它支持的所有参数。

11. Goutte – Web抓取库

 是一个抓取网站和提取数据的库。它提供了一个优雅的API，这使得从远程页面上选择特定元素变得简单。

require_once '/path/to/goutte.phar';  use Goutte\Client;  $client = new Client();$crawler = $client->request('GET', 'http://www.symfony-project.org/');  //点击链接$link = $crawler->selectLink('Plugins')->link();$crawler = $client->click($link);  //使用一个类CSS语法提取数据$t = $crawler->filter('#data')->text();  echo "Here is the text: $t";

12. Carbon – DateTime 库

Carbon 是 DateTime API 的一个简单扩展。

printf("Right now is %s", Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString());printf("Right now in Vancouver is %s", Carbon::now('America/Vancouver')); $tomorrow = Carbon::now()->addDay();$lastWeek = Carbon::now()->subWeek();$nextSummerOlympics = Carbon::createFromDate(2012)->addYears(4); $officialDate = Carbon::now()->toRFC2822String(); $howOldAmI = Carbon::createFromDate(1975, 5, 21)->age; $noonTodayLondonTime = Carbon::createFromTime(12, 0, 0, 'Europe/London'); $endOfWorld = Carbon::createFromDate(2012, 12, 21, 'GMT'); //总是以UTC对比if (Carbon::now()->gte($endOfWorld)) {    die();} if (Carbon::now()->isWeekend()) {    echo 'Party!';} echo Carbon::now()->subMinutes(2)->diffForHumans(); // '2分钟之前'

13. Ubench – 微型基准库

Ubench 是一个用于评测PHP代码的微型库，可监控（代码）执行时间和内存使用率。下面是范例：

use Ubench\Ubench; $bench = new Ubench; $bench->start(); //执行一些代码 $bench->end(); //获取执行消耗时间和内存echo $bench->getTime(); // 156ms or 1.123secho $bench->getTime(true); // elapsed microtime in floatecho $bench->getTime(false, '%d%s'); // 156ms or 1s echo $bench->getMemoryPeak(); // 152B or 90.00Kb or 15.23Mbecho $bench->getMemoryPeak(true); // memory peak in bytes 内存峰值echo $bench->getMemoryPeak(false, '%.3f%s'); // 152B or 90.152Kb or 15.234Mb //在结束标识处返回内存使用情况echo $bench->getMemoryUsage(); // 152B or 90.00Kb or 15.23Mb

(仅)在开发时运行这些校验是一个好主意。

14. Validation – 输入验证引擎

 声称是PHP库里最强大的验证引擎。但是，它能名副其实吗？看下面：

use Respect\Validation\Validator as v;  //简单验证$number = 123;v::numeric()->validate($number); //true  //链式验证$usernameValidator = v::alnum()->noWhitespace()->length(1,15);$usernameValidator->validate('alganet'); //true  //验证对象属性$user = new stdClass;$user->name = 'Alexandre';$user->birthdate = '1987-07-01';  //在一个简单链中验证他的属性$userValidator = v::attribute('name', v::string()->length(1,32))                  ->attribute('birthdate', v::date()->minimumAge(18));  $userValidator->validate($user); //true

你可以通过这个库验证你的表单或其他用户提交的数据。除此之外，它内置了很多校验，抛出异常和定制错误信息。

15. Filterus – 过滤库

 是另一个过滤库，但它不仅仅可以验证，也可以过滤匹配预设模式的输出。下面是一个例子：

$f = Filter::factory('string,max:5');$str = 'This is a test string';  $f->validate($str); // false$f->filter($str); // 'This '

Filterus有很多内建模式，支持链式用法，甚至可以用独立的验证规则去验证数组元素。

16. Faker – 假数据生成器

 是一个为你生成假数据的PHP库。当你需要填充一个测试数据库，或为你的web应用生成测试数据时，它能派上用场。它也非常容易使用：

//引用Faker 自动加载器require_once '/path/to/Faker/src/autoload.php'; //使用工厂创建来创建一个Faker\Generator实例$faker = Faker\Factory::create(); //通过访问属性生成假数据echo $faker->name; // 'Lucy Cechtelar'; echo $faker->address;  // "426 Jordy Lodge  // Cartwrightshire, SC 88120-6700" echo $faker->text;  // Sint velit eveniet. Rerum atque repellat voluptatem quia ...

只要你继续访问对象属性，它将继续返回随机生成的数据。

17. Mustache.php – 优雅模板库

Mustache是一款流行的模板语言，实际已经在各种编程语言中得到实现。使用它，你可以在客户端或服务段重用模板。 正如你猜得那样，  是使用PHP实现的。

$m = new Mustache_Engine;echo $m->render('Hello {
      {planet}}', array('planet' => 'World!')); // "Hello World!"

建议看一下官方网站  查看更多高级的例子。

18. Gaufrette – 文件系统抽象层

 是一个PHP5库，提供了一个文件系统的抽象层。它使得以相同方式操控本地文件，FTP服务器，亚马逊 S3或更多操作变为可能。它允许你开发程序时，不用了解未来你将怎么访问你的文件。

use Gaufrette\Filesystem;use Gaufrette\Adapter\Ftp as FtpAdapter;use Gaufrette\Adapter\Local as LocalAdapter;  //本地文件:$adapter = new LocalAdapter('/var/media');  //可选地使用一个FTP适配器// $ftp = new FtpAdapter($path, $host, $username, $password, $port);  //初始化文件系统$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);  //使用它$content = $filesystem->read('myFile');$content = 'Hello I am the new content';$filesystem->write('myFile', $content);

也有缓存和内存适配器，并且随后将会增加更多适配器。

19. Omnipay – 支付处理库

 是一个PHP支付处理库。它有一个清晰一致的API，并且支持数十个网关。使用这个库，你仅仅需要学习一个API和处理各种各样的支付处理器。下面是一个例子：

use Omnipay\CreditCard;use Omnipay\GatewayFactory; $gateway = GatewayFactory::create('Stripe');$gateway->setApiKey('abc123'); $formData = ['number' => '4111111111111111', 'expiryMonth' => 6, 'expiryYear' => 2016];$response = $gateway->purchase(['amount' => 1000, 'card' => $formData]); if ($response->isSuccessful()) {  //支付成功:更新数据库    print_r($response);} elseif ($response->isRedirect()) {  //跳转到异地支付网关    $response->redirect();} else {  //支付失败:向客户显示信息    exit($response->getMessage());}

使用相同一致的API，可以很容易地支持多种支付处理器，或在需要时进行切换。

20. Upload – 处理文件上传

 是一个简化文件上传和验证的库。上传表单时，这个库会校验文件类型和尺寸。

$storage = new \Upload\Storage\FileSystem('/path/to/directory');$file = new \Upload\File('foo', $storage);//验证文件上传$file->addValidations(array(//确保文件类型是"image/png"  new \Upload\Validation\Mimetype('image/png'),//确保文件不超过5M(使用"B","K","M"或者"G")  new \Upload\Validation\Size('5M')));//试图上传文件try {//成功  $file->upload();} catch (\Exception $e) {//失败!  $errors = $file->getErrors();}

它将减少不少乏味的代码。

21. HTMLPurifier – HTML XSS 防护

 是一个HTML过滤库，通过强大的白名单和聚集分析，保护你代码远离XSS攻击。它也确保输出标记符合标准。 (源码  上)

require_once '/path/to/HTMLPurifier.auto.php'; $config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault();$purifier = new HTMLPurifier($config);$clean_html = $purifier->purify($dirty_html);

如果你的网站允许用户提交 HTML 代码，不修改就展示代码的话，那这时候就是用这个库的时候了。

22. ColorJizz-PHP – 颜色操控库

 是一个简单的库，借助它你可以转换不同的颜色格式，并且做简单的颜色运算

use MischiefCollective\ColorJizz\Formats\Hex; $red_hex = new Hex(0xFF0000);$red_cmyk = $hex->toCMYK();echo $red_cmyk; // 0,1,1,0 echo Hex::fromString('red')->hue(-20)->greyscale(); // 555555

它已经支持并且可以操控所有主流颜色格式了

23. PHP Geo – 地理位置定位库

 是一个简单的库，用于计算地理坐标之间高精度距离。例如：

use Location\Coordinate;use Location\Distance\Vincenty; $coordinate1 = new Coordinate(19.820664, -155.468066); // Mauna Kea Summit 茂纳凯亚峰$coordinate2 = new Coordinate(20.709722, -156.253333); // Haleakala Summit $calculator = new Vincenty();$distance = $calculator->getDistance($coordinate1, $coordinate2); // returns 128130.850 (meters; ≈128 kilometers)

它将在使用地理位置数据的app里出色工作。你可以试译 HTML5 Location API，雅虎的API（或两者都用，我们在  中这样做了），来获取坐标。

24. ShellWrap – 优美的命令行包装器

借助  库，你可以在PHP代码里使用强大的 Linux/Unix 命令行工具。

require 'ShellWrap.php';use \MrRio\ShellWrap as sh;  //列出当前文件下的所有文件echo sh::ls();  //检出一个git分支sh::git('checkout', 'master');  //你也可以通过管道把一个命令的输出用户另一个命令//下面通过curl跟踪位置，然后通过grep过滤’html’管道来下载example.com网站echo sh::grep('html', sh::curl('http://example.com', array(    'location' => true)));  //新建一个文件sh::touch('file.html');  //移除文件sh::rm('file.html');  //再次移除文件(这次失败了,然后因为文件不存在而抛出异常)try {    sh::rm('file.html');} catch (Exception $e) {    echo 'Caught failing sh::rm() call';}

当命令行里发生异常时，这个库抛出异常，所以你可以及时对之做出反应。它也可以通过管道让你一个命令的输出作为另一个命令的输入，来实现更强的灵活性。
