Week 637
PHP News: A New Site for PHP Releases, RFCs, and Packages
PHP News is a new site covering PHP core, RFCs, releases, packages, and events. It also comes with a free weekly PHP newsletter.
One plan for every email your app sends and receives
Switching email providers shouldn't be a project. With Maileroo it's a new SMTP host and credentials: point your Laravel app at our relay, let one-click Cloudflare setup add the DNS records, and you're sending. Prefer HTTP? The same account gives you a REST API and SDKs.
Bounces, complaints and suppressions are handled automatically, IP warmup is built in, and Streams keep transactional mail separate from marketing so password resets stay fast. Every plan also includes inbound routing and email testing, so you can receive mail as parsed JSON and test every message before it ships, all without adding another vendor.
Start free with 3,000 emails a month, no card required. Paid plans start at $10/month for 25,000 emails and unlimited domains.
BashBox: A Sandboxed Bash Interpreter for AI Agents in PHP
BashBox runs AI-generated bash scripts in pure PHP with a virtual filesystem, execution limits, and opt-in network access—without calling exec or proc_open.
Rule Builders for Every Validation Rule in Laravel 13.36
Laravel 13.36 adds fluent Rule:: builders for the remaining validation rules, DB::olap() for PlanetScale, and an option to reset sticky connections between queue jobs.
Laravel URL AI Transformer: Extract Structured Data From URLs
Spatie's Laravel URL AI Transformer fetches web pages, runs them through Laravel AI agents, and stores JSON-LD, summaries, or schema-validated data.
Play Your Daily Puzzles With Friends
Puzzle Party is a place to play the games you're already playing—Wordle, Connections, Strands, crosswords, and other daily puzzles—with people you already know.
Pause Polling in Background Tabs in Inertia.js v3.9
Inertia.js v3.9 adds a background option to pause polling in hidden tabs, a navigate event type for history restores, and fixes for back navigation.
