SHA is a family of algorithms that process a string of data and compute a number called hash.
Hash computing is useful for several purposes. One of the purposes is to be able to check if the hash of a password entered by the user matches the hash of a password stored in a database.
This way, applications do not need to store plain text passwords in a database, which could cause a serious security problem in the case an application database gets stolen by people with bad intentions.
The package provides a pure PHP implementation of many variants of the SHA hashing algorithm family. Using this package you can implement strong data hashing based solutions, regardless of the PHP version that you use in your server.

Blog: PHP Queue Jobs Piping package blog
Package: PHP Queue Jobs Piping
Sometimes PHP scripts need to execute several tasks that are defined dynamically only when a given script is run.
For instance, this can be the case of a newsletter mailing list processing task that can be split in smaller tasks like 1) pull the list of recipients from a database, 2) merge the recipient information in the newsletter message contents, 3) send the newsletter messages to each recipient.
This package allows implementing a queue of tasks to be run by the same script.
Applications just need to define objects of classes that will run the different tasks and pass them to this package, so the task objects are queued.
Later, this package can run all the tasks one after the other by calling the objects that were queued.
This way this package can simplify the division of complex tasks in smaller tasks that execute simpler steps.
