String class
String is a class that turns string into PHP objects. It implements a fluent interface, improving how we manipulate strings, and extends functionality by providing common functions.
Imagine that you need to replace "hello" to "goodbye" and make first letter uppercase. In classic PHP it would like something like this:
$string = 'hello, world'; $string = str_replace('hello', 'goodbye', $string); $string = ucfirst($string); echo $string; // Goodbye, world
Using the String class it gets simpler:
$string = 'hello, world'; $string = new String\String($string); echo $string->replace('hello', 'goodbye')->sentencecase(); // Goodbye, world
OR
$string = 'hello, world'; echo String\String::make($string)->replace('hello', 'goodbye')->sentencecase(); // Goodbye, world
LetterPairSimilarity class
This class can be used to compare string using "Strike a match" algorithm.
$similarity = String\LetterPairSimilarity::compare('Healed', 'Healthy'); echo round($similarity, 2); // 0.55
Requirements
