Recently, I’ve been diving deep into Nuxt, and the experience has been fantastic. As a Full-Stack Vue Framework, it handles a lot of the heavy lifting, but one classic pain point remains: data visibility. If you come from the Laravel ecosystem, you’re likely spoiled by dump(), dd(), or the powerhouse that is Laravel Ray. These...
If you’ve been a PHP developer for any length of time, you know the struggle of phpinfo(). It’s functional, but it’s certainly not pretty. It’s a giant, un-searchable wall of text and tables that looks like it hasn’t been updated since 1998. Built on a Great Foundation I’ve been a huge fan of the Pretty...
If you haven t already, check out how to set up a Cloudflared Tunnel before you continue. I ve been running Cloudflared tunnels for about a year now.

Working on a Composer package locally can be challenging. You don t want to commit changes to Git just to test something, and constantly updating Composer to see changes isn t ideal either. Before, I often used symlinks for local development, and I still occasionally do. Yet, I ve found an easier method for my core projects: using...
I was working on a project that required file uploads such as PDF and JPG. Nevertheless, something was preventing local uploads for some file types. I can upload a PDF but a JPG would thrown an error. My project was using Laravel Filament and the SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload. Looking in the Chrome Network tab, I see a...
If you are using Nginx as your web server, one solution to this error is to update the client_max_body_size setting in your Nginx configuration. This setting specifies the maximum size of the request body, in bytes. By default, it is set to 1 megabyte (1024 kilobytes). If you try to upload an image larger than...
Many sites still required php 7.4 even though it s older and now considered deprecated. That being said, it s still important to test with newer versions of PHP. Combined with PHP having a quicker release cycle PHP 8, 8.1, and 8.2 are on their way. I have to work with a couple of versions regularly in...
