#PHP #nostrDev

As #PHP developers we're used to hear that PHP sucks. Or it's just dead.
But we now better. We know it doesn't suck anymore. But do we know why? When talking to other developers, it is something handy to send them some resources to tell them why 🤓 What are your favorite resources?

Release 1.4.0
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/releases/tag/1.4.0

The library now provides separate relay response classes according to NIP-01.

EVENT - sends events requested by the client
OK - indicate an acceptance or denial of an EVENT message
EOSE - end of stored events
CLOSED - subscription is ended on the server side
NOTICE - used to send human-readable messages (like errors) to clients

This replaces the CommandResult class which had the response of a relay. Thanks @plebeian for working out the initial codebase https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/59
