Swiss Ephemeris Brings Professional Astronomy to PHP via Direct FFI Access

This FFI wrapper grants PHP developers direct access to the Swiss Ephemeris C library, solving the accuracy and performance trade-offs that plagued previous approaches like CLI wrappers and pure-PHP implementations. The significance lies in enabling professional-grade astronomical calculations within PHP applications—critical for both web-based astronomy platforms and astrological tools. With native library precision now accessible through a simple Composer package, developers no longer need to sacrifice accuracy for deployment simplicity.
