PHPMailer
The classic email sending library for PHP
PHPMailer – A full-featured email creation and transfer class for PHP. Support for UTF-8 content and 8bit, base64, binary, and quoted-printable encodings. SMTP authentication with LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, and XOAUTH2 mechanisms over SMTPS and SMTP+STARTTLS transports. Validates email addresses automatically. Many PHP developers need to send email from their code. The only PHP function that supports this directly is mail(). However, it does not provide any assistance for making use of popular features such as encryption, authentication, HTML messages, and attachments. Formatting email correctly is surprisingly difficult. There are myriad overlapping (and conflicting) standards, requiring tight adherence to horribly complicated formatting and encoding rules – the vast majority of code that you'll find online that uses the mail() function directly is just plain wrong, if not unsafe! -

Dompdf
HTML to PDF converter for PHP
dompdf is an HTML to PDF converter. At its heart, dompdf is (mostly) a CSS 2.1 compliant HTML layout and rendering engine written in PHP. It is a style-driven renderer, it will download and read external stylesheets, inline style tags, and the style attributes of individual HTML elements. It also supports most presentational HTML attributes. PDF rendering is currently provided either by PDFLib or by a bundled version the R&OS CPDF class written by Wayne Munro. (Some important changes have been made to the R&OS class, however). In order to use PDFLib with dompdf, the PDFLib PECL extension is required. Using PDFLib improves performance and reduces the memory requirements of dompdf somewhat, while the R&OS CPDF class, though slightly slower, eliminates any dependencies on external PDF libraries. -

mPDF
PHP library generating PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML
mPDF is a PHP library that generates PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files ‘on-the-fly’ from his website, handling different languages. It is slower than the original scripts e.g. HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but support for CSS styles etc. and has been much enhanced. Supports almost all languages including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew), and CJK (Chinese-Japanese-Korean). Nested block-level elements (e.g. P, DIV) including margins, borders, padding, line height, background colors, etc. Right-to-left languages are supported, with automatic detection of RTL characters within a document. Transposes tables, lists, text justification, and table cell alignment, as well as a full-text reversal for RTL characters. Automatically detects non-RTL characters and displays these in the original order. -

reCAPTCHA
PHP client library for reCAPTCHA, a free service
reCAPTCHA is Google’s human-verification system that helps websites distinguish real users from automated abuse while keeping friction low for legitimate traffic. The project bundles client and server examples, language-specific helpers, and documentation patterns for integrating reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 flows into web forms and APIs. Its design philosophy is “risk-based”: most users pass silently based on behavioral signals, while higher-risk interactions may be challenged with an image, checkbox, or other verification step. Site owners register keys, embed a small client script, and verify tokens on the server to protect actions like sign-ups, logins, and form submissions. The ecosystem supports mobile and enterprise variants, but the repo focuses on common web integrations and best practices for verifying the token securely. Deployed correctly, reCAPTCHA reduces credential stuffing, bot sign-ups, and scraping without degrading the experience for typical users. -

ramsey/uuid
A PHP library for generating universally unique identifiers (UUIDs)
ramsey/uuid is a PHP library for generating and working with RFC 4122 version 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 universally unique identifiers (UUID). ramsey/uuid also supports optional and non-standard features, such as version 6 UUIDs, GUIDs, and other approaches for encoding/decoding UUIDs. A universally unique identifier, or UUID, is a 128-bit unsigned integer, usually represented as a hexadecimal string split into five groups with dashes. The most widely-known and used types of UUIDs are defined by RFC 4122. The probability of duplicating a UUID is close to zero, so they are a great choice for generating unique identifiers in distributed systems. UUIDs can also be stored in binary format, as a string of 16 bytes. The JSON extension is normally enabled by default, but it is possible to disable it. Other required extensions include PCRE and SPL. These standard extensions cannot be disabled without patching PHP’s build system and/or C sources. -
24
Guzzle Promises
A library for PHP with synchronous support
Promises/A+ implementation that handles promise chaining and resolution iteratively, allowing for "infinite" promise chaining while keeping the stack size constant. A promise represents the eventual result of an asynchronous operation. The primary way of interacting with a promise is through its then method, which registers callbacks to receive either a promise's eventual value or the reason why the promise cannot be fulfilled. Callbacks are registered with the then method by providing an optional $onFulfilled followed by an optional $onRejected function. Resolving a promise means that you either fulfill a promise with a value or reject a promise with a reason. Resolving a promises triggers callbacks registered with the promises's then method. These callbacks are triggered only once and in the order in which they were added. -

IMAP Library for Laravel
Integrate both the native php-imap module and an extended custom imap
Laravel IMAP is an easy way to integrate both the native php-imap module and an extended custom imap protocol into your Laravel app. This enables your app to not only respond to new emails but also allows it to read and parse existing mails and much more. PHP-IMAP is a wrapper for common IMAP communication without the need to have the "native" php-imap module installed/enabled. The IMAP protocol is completely integrated and therefore supports all IMAP commands including the IDLE operation and the "new" oAuth authentication process. You can enable the php-imap module in order to handle edge cases, and improve message decoding quality, and is required if you want to use legacy protocols such as pop3.
