A standard specification describing a filesystem skeleton for PHP packages, defining canonical names for root-level directories and files like bin/, src/, tests/, and README. It also ships command-line tools for validating or generating PDS-conformant package structures.

Use cases

• standardize directory layout for a PHP package
• validate that my PHP package follows a filesystem convention
• generate a skeleton for a new PHP library
• decide where config, docs, and tests go in a PHP project
• adopt a common package structure across a PHP team

When to choose

• you are starting a new PHP package and want a conventional layout
• you want consistency across multiple PHP repositories
• you need a validator for package structure compliance

When to avoid

• you need a runnable application framework or starter template with code
• your project must follow an existing framework's own conventions
• you work outside the PHP ecosystem
