- paulryanrogers 4y agoWhat do you mean by system packages? There are PHP packages now and Composer. Though core and its bundled extensions are quite rich. So 3P packages aren't strictly necessary.
- lmm 4y agoPHP is pretty batteries-included, sometimes to a fault (it comes with things like 3 different MySQL drivers in the standard library). I'm sure there are cases where you'd want to install a C extension that depended on some system library, but I can't actually think of any right now.
- asddubs 4y agoimagick for imagemagick is a common one. but yeah, you can go really far with just relying on php standard features
