Is there a good extended list of open source and free PHP prebuilt functions?

Question

PHP

If there is anything that modern programmers have in common, it is the desire to simplify their lives and not reinvent the wheel. For this purpose, there is an open source exchange that performs most of the simple (or at least frequent, mundane) tasks that need to be solved.

So, for example, the Node.js community has settled down nicely, having a fairly detailed list of most of the existing modules, categorized and with the possibility of wiki replenishment. Not to mention that at the top of this list there are four more search engines, through which it is quite possible to find even such modules that no one has yet bothered to put on the wiki. As a result, it turns out that to find a ready-made module for performing somean ordinary task (for example, for coloring text with ANSI codes) is quite simple - and not even one, but a couple of modules, from which it remains only to choose the best one.

Yes, and for the client-side javascript, they also began to compile a list of libraries .

But where do you go if you want to find a suitable open source free class (or library of functions) for the PHP language? Today I decided not to reinvent the rather simple wheel: sending a single file (or several files) by e-mail with a whole series of text fields accepted via a web form. I'm sure there are two or three in the worldready-made classes or libraries of functions for this purpose (and perhaps even dozens, dozens of libraries!), but suddenly I realized that I had absolutely no idea where they could be found in a convenient and expanded listing.

Is there really only PEAR and PECL , but no wiki list?

Tell me please.

Answer 1

phpsnips.com/ - collection of snippets and classes
packagist.org/ - repository for composer packages

Answer 2

Try PHPMailer.

Answer 3

Of the known to me (the question is really interesting) there is only www.phpclasses.org/ , it exists and has been filled since 2000. But it is focused only on classes.

Answer 4

To be honest, the links to the composer repository suggested above are more than enough. In other cases, it will be much easier to use Google or search on the same github or bitbacker.
