How do you configure the UUID module in PHP?

The UUID module in PHP can be configured by following these steps:

  1. Ensure that the UUID module is enabled in your PHP installation. You can verify this by searching for “uuid” in the php.ini file. If the relevant configuration option is not found, you may need to recompile or reinstall PHP.
  2. If the UUID module is enabled, you can directly use the uuid_create() function to generate a UUID. For example:
$uuid = uuid_create();
echo "Generated UUID: " . $uuid;
  1. ramsey/uuid corresponds to ramsey/uuid
composer require ramsey/uuid
  1. An identifier generated from Ramsey libraries.
use Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid;

$uuid1 = Uuid::uuid1();
echo "Generated UUID (v1): " . $uuid1->toString();

$uuid4 = Uuid::uuid4();
echo "Generated UUID (v4): " . $uuid4->toString();

These are the basic steps for configuring the UUID module in PHP. Please choose the method that suits your specific situation.
