Is it Preptember yet?
Good morning everyone and happy MonDEV ☕
We are back in full swing and one of the reasons why it's nice to return to the PC in September is Preptember!
Those who have been following the newsletter since the early days and those who follow the world of Open Source will already know, but in October there is an event that lasts a month, the Hacktoberfest; we could somewhat define it as the festival of Open Source if we want, inviting all us developers to seize the opportunity to make some more contributions to the open source world on which basically our entire career is based! ?
But not only: it is also an opportunity for those who have not yet approached this world to get involved and secure the first "Good first issue" assigned, since at this time of year they are popping up!
In fact, if you are a maintainer of some project, small or large it may be, this could also be a good time for you to find new contributors to your idea! ?
Someone might object "Yes okay, but we're talking about October, we're still in September, right?" And here comes into play what we were talking about at the beginning: Preptember! September is the right time to prepare, find the projects you want to contribute to, or prepare your project for external contributions.
In the coming weeks, I will share some resources on this, hoping to help you find that right advice or that right repo that will lead you to contribute to the open source world!
But let's start right away, with a very short tool for this week, so we don't digress too much!
Just these days, Nuno Maduro, a figure certainly known to Laravel enthusiasts, has made pinkary.com Open Source, a portal that aims to bring together all your links in one place and make them easily reachable. They have also added a Twitter-like board where you can share thoughts with other users.
Are there other similar tools? Yes, but today I want to propose this one for a few main reasons:
- The tool is completely open source and open to contributions
- It is very recent, so rich in activity and it is easy to be included in the workflow
- Also because it is recent, it is not yet overcrowded with contributors
- It is in PHP and ?? Unfortunately, compared to other languages, the number of OS projects in PHP is quite low, so I am really happy to propose you a project of the good little elephant for once
Having said that, I leave you to this week's articles! Will you try to use Pinkary and participate in the Hacktoberfest? Let me know, I am very curious

Explain secure password hashing in PHP (e.g., password_hash, password_verify). Why not use MD5 or SHA1?
Apr 17, 2025 am 12:06 AM
In PHP, password_hash and password_verify functions should be used to implement secure password hashing, and MD5 or SHA1 should not be used. 1) password_hash generates a hash containing salt values to enhance security. 2) Password_verify verify password and ensure security by comparing hash values. 3) MD5 and SHA1 are vulnerable and lack salt values, and are not suitable for modern password security.
PHP: A Key Language for Web Development
Apr 13, 2025 am 12:08 AM
PHP is a scripting language widely used on the server side, especially suitable for web development. 1.PHP can embed HTML, process HTTP requests and responses, and supports a variety of databases. 2.PHP is used to generate dynamic web content, process form data, access databases, etc., with strong community support and open source resources. 3. PHP is an interpreted language, and the execution process includes lexical analysis, grammatical analysis, compilation and execution. 4.PHP can be combined with MySQL for advanced applications such as user registration systems. 5. When debugging PHP, you can use functions such as error_reporting() and var_dump(). 6. Optimize PHP code to use caching mechanisms, optimize database queries and use built-in functions. 7

Apr 09, 2025 am 12:09 AM
HTTP request methods include GET, POST, PUT and DELETE, which are used to obtain, submit, update and delete resources respectively. 1. The GET method is used to obtain resources and is suitable for read operations. 2. The POST method is used to submit data and is often used to create new resources. 3. The PUT method is used to update resources and is suitable for complete updates. 4. The DELETE method is used to delete resources and is suitable for deletion operations.
Explain the difference between self::, parent::, and static:: in PHP OOP.
Apr 09, 2025 am 12:04 AM
In PHPOOP, self:: refers to the current class, parent:: refers to the parent class, static:: is used for late static binding. 1.self:: is used for static method and constant calls, but does not support late static binding. 2.parent:: is used for subclasses to call parent class methods, and private methods cannot be accessed. 3.static:: supports late static binding, suitable for inheritance and polymorphism, but may affect the readability of the code.

How does PHP type hinting work, including scalar types, return types, union types, and nullable types?
Apr 17, 2025 am 12:25 AM
PHP type prompts to improve code quality and readability. 1) Scalar type tips: Since PHP7.0, basic data types are allowed to be specified in function parameters, such as int, float, etc. 2) Return type prompt: Ensure the consistency of the function return value type. 3) Union type prompt: Since PHP8.0, multiple types are allowed to be specified in function parameters or return values. 4) Nullable type prompt: Allows to include null values and handle functions that may return null values.
