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. -

Doctrine Common
A library that provides extensions to core PHP functionality
PHP Doctrine Common project is a library that provides additional functionality that other Doctrine projects depend on such as better reflection support, proxies and much more.

It can quickly become a pain to understand what is going on when using multiple libraries and/or frameworks, each with its own way to do class loading. Class loading should be simple and it is an ideal candidate for convention over configuration. The Doctrine Common ClassLoader implements a simple and efficient approach to class loading that is easy to understand and use. The implementation is based on the widely used and accepted convention of mapping namespace and class names to a directory structure. -
