README
Tokener is a PHP random token generator.
How to install
It's recommended that you use Composer to install Tokener.
$ composer require mnlg/tokener "^2.0"
How to use
Using Tokener is rather simple, by default it will generate the tokens using an alphabet composed of upper and lower case leters and numbers. You can set your own alphabet too.
Example
$tokener = new \Mnlg\Tokener\Tokener();
$token = $tokener->getToken(40); // Get a 40 chars token
echo $token;
Alphabet
Tokener uses an alphabet to generate the tokens, the default alphabet generates tokens with upper and lower case letters plus numbers. This are the alphabet constants included with Tokener.
Tokener::LOWER_CASE_LETTERS // abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Tokener::UPPER_CASE_LETTERS // ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Tokener::NUMBERS // 0123456789
Tokener::SYMBOLS // !$%*&/=?-.
To use one of this alphabets you can pass it to the Tokener constructor:
$tokener = new Tokener(Tokener::NUMBERS); // Generate number only tokens
The alphabet can also be changed once the Tokener object has been created using the setAlphabet() method:
$tokener->setAlphabet(Tokener::LOWER_CASE_LETTERS . Tokener::UPPER_CASE_LETTERS);
Using custom alphabets is also possible by passing a custom string to the constructor or to the setAlphabet() method:
$tokener->setAlphabet('abcd123'); // Generate random tokens with this characters only
