mpclarkson/stringy

A PHP Library that provides a consistent api for object oriented manipulation of strings.

Stringy - Object Oriented Manipulation of Strings in PHP!

, _(*1)

Overview

Are you stick to death of PHP's inconsistencies in terms on manipulating strings? Well, look no further!, _(*2)

Rather than constantly having to write obtuse code like this to check if a string contains a substring:, _(*3)

``` php strpos($mystring, $substring) !== false ? true : false;, <sub>(*4)</sub>

You can now do this (and many other things), sensibly!

``` php
  $string = new String($myString);

  $bool = $string->contains($substring);

Yay! :), <sub>(*5)</sub>

Usage

After applying any methods, the underlying text/string can be accessed as follows:, <sub>(*6)</sub>

$stringy = new Stringy("mystring");
$stringy->append("is fun", " ");

echo $stringy->string();
//"mystring is fun";
