The Fulcrum Extender module - extending the PHP functionality for arrays and strings., _(*2)

1. Array Module - making it easier to work with PHP arrays, especially deeply nested array. It includes "dot" notation.
2. String Module - providing the missing PHP string functionality

Array Module

Working with arrays is tedious, especially deeply nested arrays. This module provides a handful of useful functions including borrowing from Laravel's "dot" notation., _(*3)

"Dot" Notation

Dot notation is a clever mechanism to access deeply nested arrays using a string of the keys separated by dots., _(*4)

For example, let's say you have a deeply nested array like this one:, _(*5)

$user = array(
    'user_id'   => 504,
    'name'      => 'Bob Jones',
    'social'    => array(
        'twitter' => '@bobjones',
    ),
    'languages' => array(
        'php'        => array(
            'procedural' => true,
            'oop'        => false,
        ),
        'javascript' => true,
        'ruby'       => false,
    ),
);

To drill down to Bob's twitter handle, you'd pass 'social.twitter' and to get to whether he likes OOP or procedural, you'd pass 'languages.php.oop' or 'languages.php.procedural'., _(*6)

Check the documentation for the available array functions including: array_add, array_has, array_set, array_get, and more., _(*7)

String Module

We often need functionality to test if a string has, starts with, or ends with a character or substring. This module includes functionality for checking, converting, and truncating strings., _(*8)
