composer require fwrw/text-helper
Usage/Examples
To remove excessive whitespaces:
TextHelper::normalizeSpaces($text);
It will return the $text variable without them.
To cut a text:
TextHelper::cut($text, $limit);
It will cut the variable $text in the limit passed by param $limit. you can also put a final string at the end:
TextHelper::cut($text, $limit, $end);
In that case, the text will be cuted, and have a string (passed by param) at the end, example:
input TextHelper::cut($text, 20, "...");
out Lorem ipsum dolor am...
In order to avoid a word from separating in the middle, rather cut from the last whitespace by passing 'true' after the $end variable, by param:
input TextHelper::cut($text, 20, "...", true);
out Lorem ipsum dolor...
To remove accents:
TextHelper::stripAccents($text);
will return the $text variable cleaned, without any accent. Example:
input TextHelper::stripAccents("O dia está lindo");
out O dia esta lindo
To remove special characters:
TextHelper::clear($text);
will return the variable $text withour any special characters. You can also clear numbers and accents, just passin 'true' values by param:
input TextHelper::clear($text, $numbers, $accent);
in that case, the $text variable is going to be reformulated without any number, accent, or special character:
input TextHelper::clear("Bom dia, você está linda hoje!!1", true, true);
out Bom dia voce esta linda hoje
