Why write custom functionality when we can easily achieve the same result by using a library? A developer’s best friends and lifesaver are libraries. I believe a good project makes use of some of the best libraries available.

PHP is a popular and widely used server-side scripting language that is specially used for web development. I’ve put together a list of 7 PHP libraries that will help you in your development journey.

1. Guzzle

This is one of the most starred PHP libraries on Github with more than 22k stars. This library makes it easy to send HTTP requests and trivial to integrate with web services. It provides lots of features like streaming large uploads/ downloads, sending both synchronous and asynchronous requests using the same interface, supports PSR-18 allowing interoperability between other PSR-18 HTTP Clients, and many more.
