How to install
Composer
Simply add stevenkellow/php-plus to your composer.json file.
Download
Simply download PHP Plus and put the folder somewhere within your project.
Then, just add one line of code into a project file (replacing PATH_TO_PHP_PLUS with the directory of the folder )
include_once( PATH_TO_PHP_PLUS . '/classes/php-plus.php' );
and you'll be done.
How to use
Version 1.1 comes with a loader, so you can choose when to include PHP Plus and which files you need.
To run with all functions, simply use:
PHPPlus::load();
This method accepts two paramaters, $include and $exclude so you can fine tune which files to load.
If you only want to load certain files, add them to the include array like so:
PHPPlus::load( array( 'constants', 'math' ) );
If you want to exclude certain files, add them to the exclude array like so:
PHPPlus::load( false, array( 'strings', 'security' ) );
The include paramater defaults to using all files, while the exclude paramater defaults to excluding no files, so there's no real need to mix and match those two!
