PHP utility library.

PHP-Util

PHP utility function library., _(*1)

About

• No userland dependencies
• Windows and developer friendly

Why

I found myself re-implementing the same helper functions/methods over and over again. I decided to stop doing that and created this library instead., _(*2)

Packages

The "packages" are just groupings of alike functions., _(*3)

A non-exhaustive listing:, _(*4)

Arrays

Many array_*() functions, e.g.: * array_pull() * array_key() (get a key by relative position) * array_map_keys() (like array_map() but for keys) * array_filter_keys() (like array_filter() but for keys), _(*5)

Array "dot-notation": * array_get() * array_set() * array_unset() * array_isset(), _(*6)

e.g., _(*7)

$a = array("some" => array("item" => array("key" => 1)));
array_get($a, "some.item.key") // returns "1"

String

Several str_*() functions, such as: * str_endswith() and str_startswith() (with case-sensitive option) * str_sentences() (sentence extractor) * str_alnum() (strip non-alphanumeric characters) * str_numeric() (detects and casts numeric strings to float or int), _(*8)

URL-safe Base64 encoding and decoding: * base64_url_encode() * base64_url_decode(), _(*9)

Simple common inflectors: * str_pear_case() (e.g. "Some_String_Like_This") * str_snake_case() (e.g. "some_string_like_this") * str_studly_case() (e.g. "SomeStringLikeThis") * str_camel_case() (e.g. "someStringLikeThis"), _(*10)

Format

String formatting functions: * str_format() (generic string formatter) * hash_format() (e.g. for inserting "-" into UUIDs) * phone_format() (detects format based on length) * bytes_format() (option for SI or IEC), _(*11)

Sanitize/Validate

Wrappers for common uses of filter_var(): * sanitize() * validate(), _(*12)

Filesystem

• is_abspath()
• joinpath()
• globr() (recursive glob())
• scandirr() (recursive scandir())

CSV

• file_get_csv()
• file_put_csv()
• csv2array()

XML

• xml_write_document()
• xml_write_element()
• xml2array()

Callables

• result()
• invoke() (matches named or ordered parameters to a callable function signature)
• callable_id() (human-readable callable identifiers)

Misc

• is_xml()
• is_json()
• is_serialized()
• object_to_array() (no more *prop => ugly from casting to array)
• define_safe() (define a constant only if undefined)
• pdo_dsn() (creates a DSN string for PDO drivers)
