This repository contains a binding of the libuuid library with PHP thanks to PHP/FFI. So this requires PHP 7.4 to run.
For now this is mostly a proof of concept to demonstrate the power of the FFI extension. In future, if and when the performance of FFI improves, it could be a good alternative to the PECL UUID package.
Further details can be found in the following blog post PHP 7.4 FFI: What you need to know .
composer require jolicode/ffi-uuiduse JoliCode\Uuid\UuidGenerator;
$generator = new UuidGenerator();
echo $generator->v1();
echo $generator->v3('something');
echo $generator->v4();
echo $generator->v5('something');
