ThingsDB PHP driver

Hi.

Let me share with you PHP driver for communication with ThingsDB over socket I've made. Please enjoy.

If you're okay, I'd like to add your PHP connector to the ThingsDB documentation (and book).

Of course, no problem. I'm also planning to make js driver, but I'm waiting for some news if websocket will be added.

[joente]

I'm working on it.

[stefanak-michal]

That's great. I didn't expect that fast and positive response.

Did you consider making the library compatible with PHP 8.1? (This seems to be the default version in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). Currently, the use of readonly class is preventing 8.1 support, or is there more?

[stefanak-michal]

I like to keep up and I try to follow with https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

8.1 is receiving only security support until the end of this year. Anyway it shouldn't be problem to update from 8.1 to 8,2.

It is not only readonly class. I use phpunit 11 which requires php 8.2.

I wrote article about it here https://dev.to/stefanak-michal/thingsdb-and-php-3c0k
