Maybe you can add PHP: Innocent villagefolk or a Pillagin’ Pirate? in the Reading section?
It's an article explaining how PHP steals great things from other languages, making it awesome :) .

@maxailloud I've fixed the dead link, looks like it moved. Thanks for letting me know.

I've added a bunch more libraries to the list, as well as Pádraic's article.

I'm planning to split everything out into categories at some point, as things are bit chaotic right now. I also want to add a new People section, that lists noteworthy members of the community too.

@foertel Check out the Symfony Components, they have one specifically for parsing YAML. Alternatively there is a PECL library you can install too.

https://github.com/KOLANICH/PHP-Backuper - Pure PHP backup framework.
Used to make incrmental backups of the site and send it to cloud storages.
Now allows to upload using WebDAV (https://www.box.com/ , http://disk.yandex.ru/, skydrive support it and google drive and DropBox via some services such as https://dav-pocket.appspot.com/, https://dropdav.com/ and http://otixo.com/) , SugarSync and DropBox native uploaders via emulating user activity are obsolete, we are working on OAuth access to them )
PS. It doesn't support Composer (read Readme.md and you will understand why) because I dislike Composer architecture. If you want to make it work using Composer you will need to modify some includes in the top of the files

Datum - https://github.com/dandoescode/datum

Also, the templates section seems to be missing the granddaddy of PHP templating systems, Smarty, and also PHPTAL. And what about Log4PHP under logging?

Hey @ziadoz, very nice list and thank you for adding my projects to it!

I just wanted to give you a heads up on some of my projects listed.

• Version has been deprecated in favor of my newer semantic version handling library. It is also called Version, but hosted under my herrera-io organization. The library has a more broken out API, and supports v2.0.0-rc.2 of the Semantic Versioning specification as opposed to v2.0.0-rc.1.
• RunkitTestCase does not exist anymore. The project was abandoned due to how outdated the official runkit extension is, and after realizing that there are better ways to perform testing. (I am aware of zenovich's work on an unofficial extension.) Using my experience with PHPUnit, I have created a suped up version of the standard PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase class: TestCase. It manages the creation and clean up of temporary directories and files, as well as providing a simple way to access protected and private class members.
• Bcrypt has been dropped in favor of ircmaxell's PHP Password Lib project. There were some flaws in the design of my library which ircmaxell's library had already taken care of.

I have another project that may be interesting to others, which could be added to your list if worthy:

Wise is a project built on the Symfony Config library. Its purpose is to try and bring the configuration system found in Symfony (imports, placeholder values, normalization, validation, etc) and make them available for general use outside of Symfony.

Wow! When i see this, then all concerns a la "PHP is the wrong language!" are busted away! This gist should be transformed to a larger interactive website in a very prominent spot in the PHP Community.

@ziadoz - Just noticed you added my library (Munee) to your list a couple months ago. Thanks for doing that :). Also, great work putting this all together! Definitely a great resource for the PHP Community.

Hello :-)

Some suggestions (only stable libraries):

• File: Hoa\Mime, to manipulate a MIME types database and get some related informations about streams;
• Testing: Hoa\Praspel, a specification language for contract-based testing (a research project) and Hoathis\Atoum, an automatic unit test generator from Praspel to atoum;
• Code Analysis: Hoa\Compiler, a LL(k) (and LL(1)) compiler compiler, grammar are written in the PP language;
• Command Line: Hoa\Console, tools related to console, like manipulating cursor, window, readline with autocompletion (see it in action), processus, getoption etc.;
• Text and Numbers: Hoa\String, manipulate UTF-8 string in a natural way;
• Miscellaneous: Hoa\Websocket, a WebSocket server, and Hoa\Eventsource, an EventSource server.
