How can PHP developers optimize their code for better package size calculations, as suggested in the forum thread?
To optimize package size calculations in PHP, developers can use the `memory_get_peak_usage()` function to measure the peak memory usage of their script. By tracking memory usage at various points in the code, developers can identify areas where memory is being consumed excessively and optimize those sections to reduce package size.
// Measure peak memory usage before and after the code block
$before = memory_get_peak_usage();
// Code block to optimize for package size calculations
$after = memory_get_peak_usage();
$memoryUsed = ($after - $before) / (1024 * 1024); // Convert bytes to MB
echo "Peak memory usage: $memoryUsed MB";
