Alright! In this new series of articles, we’re not going to collect vegetables. Instead, I’ll be focusing on phpfarm, a tool that allows several versions of PHP to co-exist.
In this first article, I’ll reminisce about the early days of PHP 5 and the reason projects like phpfarm were born in the first place.
Aside from that, I know the series on Composer isn’t finished yet. I have another entry in preparation but I can’t quite find the words to express my ideas on that topic right now. So, expect some interleaving between the two series in coming entries.
Various thoughts on Composer: Part 1

Before you read on, let me make this clear: I love Composer, I really do! It has brought a lot of improvements to the PHP ecosystem by providing a common package manager that all developers can use [1].
However, I sometimes feel it doesn’t quite deliver some of its early promises or that it still lacks some important features.
This is the first post of a series of articles about what I find to be defective in Composer itself or in the way it is usually employed. It concerns security and how it is addressed in Composer.
