StringBuffer is a PHP class providing operations for efficient string buffering

Basic usage

$sb = new StringBuffer();
$sb->addString("Hello World!\n");
$sb->addFile("path/to/file");
$length = $sb->getLength();
$sb->printOut();

Converting StringBuffer into a string:

$string = (string)$sb;
// or
$string = "$sb";
// or
$string = $sb->toString();

Temporary buffer

You can use StringBuffer to store and manipulate large chunks of data without consuming excessive memory.

$buffer = new StringBufferTemporary();

// read something big in chunks
$buffer->add($megabyte);
$buffer->add($megabyte);
$buffer->add($megabyte);
$buffer->add($megabyte);
$buffer->add($megabyte);
// and so on... :)

$buffer->printOut();
// or
$buffer->writeToFile($target_filename);

Constant TEMP can be defined in order to specify the desired temporary directory for storing string buffer items.

define("TEMP","/path/to/temp/");

Installation

Use the Composer to install StringBuffer.

cd path/to/your/project/
