PHP Project Top10 List

This list is my personal top 10 list of PHP projects that have no financial backup or support which deserves credits. I've also included my motivation as reference.

Software projects

  • Composer: It revolutionised PHP world by allowing people to build awesome components supported by major frameworks and tools
  • PHPUnit: Since it was ported to PHP it added quality and easy maintenance to a lot of projects
  • XDebug: This tool has offered developers a chance to analyse their code step by step to find bugs or solve coding mysteries
  • Slim Framework: A true PHP microframework
  • Phing: The PHP build tool
  • MantisBT: The PHP bug tracker
  • PHPDocumentor: The code analysis tool that turns your code blocks into software documentation
  • PHP_CodeSniffer: The coding standards tool

Communities

  • PHPWomen: The all-inclusive, welcoming community for PHP developers
  • PHPMentoring.org: A platform for developers to learn from other developers skills they miss

As you have given credit to composer and phpunit , the underlying things they use are some of the symfony components. So it do deserve some credits.

I have not used phing and mantis and not that much phpdocumentator.

And adding adminer, auraphp, apigen guzzle ( probably you will say it is backed by amazon. But in the early life it seems not ) to the list.

phpMyAdmin springs to mind, although I don't use it anymore, almost everyone I know still does. Does it fit your criteria?

Oh oh... oh, that brings me to adminer. Thank you @mgkimsal for reminding.

MantisBT was my favorite. It had extremely simple code. I don't know if it evolved over the years, but at one time I would pitch MantisBT as the FRACAS tool of choice.
