phpased

phpased is a PHP library designed to facilitate the creation and management of phased operations within an application. Phased operations refer to processes that can be broken down into distinct stages or phases, allowing for more granular control, improved error handling, and the ability to manage complex workflows. The library provides a structured approach to defining these phases, executing them sequentially, and handling any potential errors or exceptions that may occur during their execution.

The core concept behind phpased is the "Phase" object, which represents a single step in a larger operation. Developers can define custom logic for each phase, specifying what actions should be performed. These Phase objects are then typically grouped into a "PhasedOperation" or a similar structure, which dictates the order in which the phases are executed. The library often includes mechanisms for passing data between phases, allowing the output of one phase to serve as the input for the next.

Error management is a key feature. If a phase encounters an error, phpased can be configured to halt the operation, roll back previous phases (if supported), or attempt a retry. This makes it suitable for tasks that require reliability, such as data processing, complex calculations, or multi-step API interactions. By abstracting the complexity of managing sequential steps and their associated error conditions, phpased aims to simplify the development of robust and manageable multi-stage processes in PHP applications.
