9個開發人員應該知道的PHP庫
9個開發人員應該知道的PHP庫大多都是國外的資源，不過有了這些PHP庫的支持，大家今后進行開發一定能加快速度，不會進行簡單的重復勞動。
1. ReCAPTCHA
The reCAPTCHA 庫讓你可以為網站創建高級的CAPTCHA系統，這個系統其實是用來生成驗證信息的，甚至包括語音驗證，下圖就是個好例子。
當然還有reCAPTCHA 服務可以使用，其提供易用的免費API，值得在你的網站試試。
The reCAPTCHA library allows you to integrate an advanced CAPTCHA system on your website, which helps keep spam bots from posting on your website. The visual CAPTCHA also includes a helpful audio feature.In addition to the reCAPTCHA service, the library also includes an API for the "Mailhide" service which hides emails from spammers.The API is free and easy to implement on your site and also gives back to the community as it translates scanned books.

2. Akismet
Akismet 是個供小站點使用的免費服務，用來修改規范將加入數據庫的評論（防止惡意評論）。這個庫一直在改善。
Akismet is a free service that can be used on most small sites - or used on larger sites for a small fee. The library works by comparing comments to a database of existing spam comments provided by other users. The library can then decide to flag the comment for moderation or allow it through. Everyday the library grows and the service improves.

3. Services_JSON
JSON是人類能容易理解的信息傳遞格式。不過如果你并未使用5.2.0以后版本的php（從那以后php有了JSON官方支持），那么就應該試試這個庫。
JSON is a handy format for transmitting human readable data. Not everyone has made the move to PHP5 which has included JSON support since version 5.2.0. This small library enables you to implement JSON functionality into your own applications if you are not using a recent version of PHP.

4. Smarty
Smarty就是鼎鼎大名的官方模版庫了。它提供了不少有用的功能。其實使用php的人都該瞧瞧。
Smarty is a template engine which was formally a sub-project of the PHP project. Smarty provides many powerful features such as loops, variables, and a great caching system. The library has many years under its belt and is nearing its version three release.

5. pChart
pChart是極其有名的數據圖形庫。它能為數據展示提供各種美麗的圖表。其實使用php的人都一定會碰到使用它的情況。
In addition to displaying text data in your application, it can also be useful to show data in a more visual format. This can be done with a slew of options like pie charts and bar graphs. pChart is a script that allows you to create charts and graphs from SQL queries or manually provided details. The script is baked by GD to create the images. There is also a main focus on the aesthetics; so it creates some beautiful work.

7. XML-RPC PHP Library
有時你需要使用XML-RPC技術去和其他網站交互，那么試試這個XML-RPC PHP 庫吧。
Applications sometimes use functionality to "ping" other sites when an action has occurred (known as trackbacks). This is done by using a protocol called XML-RPC. The XML-RPC PHP library also allows you to integrate the functionality into your website.

大多數web應用都在使用php的mail()函數。PHPMailer讓你更加靈活地處理Email的發出，不但支持任何格式，還可以加入附件并自定義header。
