Install

The recommended way to install is through Composer.

Update your project's composer.json file to include Localize:

{
    "require": {
        "tonglil/localize": "1.*"
    }
}

Then update the project dependencies to include this library:

composer update tonglil/localize

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Locales

Country codes are based on ISO 3166-1. Phone numbers can be formatted to E.164 formatting

Locales currently supported:

• CA

Planned locales:

• US
• FR
• GB
• AU
• CN

Locales are stored in src/locales directory.

Formats

The default formats currently supported:

• Region (province/state)
• Post code (postal/zip code)
• Country name
• Phone number (regional "de-facto" formatting or E.164 formatting)

Examples

use Localize\Localize;

// Create a new localize instance.
$localize = new Localize();
// Set the locale using a two digit ISO country code.
$localize->setLocale('CA');

$address = [
    'address'       => '525 Seymour Street',
    'city'          => 'Vancouver',
    'region'        => $localize->region('british columbia', true),
    'postal_code'   => $localize->postalCode('v6b3h7'),
    'country'       => $localize->country('CANADA', false),
    'phone'         => $localize->phone('5555555555'),
];

echo $address['region'];        // BC
echo $address['postal_code'];   // V6B 3H7
echo $address['country'];       // Canada
echo $address['phone'];         // 555-555-5555

// Region and country both accept a second parameter that formats the value to
// its short version when true, otherwise uses the long version by default.
echo $localize->region('ontario', true);    // ON
echo $localize->region('ontario', false);   // Ontario

// Postal code and phone number will attempt to massage a limit amount of
// formatting into the standard output.
echo $localize->phone('555 555-5555');                  // 555-555-5555 regional "de-facto" formatting
echo $localize->phoneE164('[phone]');           // 011-1-555-555-5555 full E.164 formatting
echo $localize->phoneE164('[phone]', false);    // [phone] common E.164 formatting
echo $localize->postalCode('V6b 3h7');                  // V6B 3H7

// Basic validation is performed; if a match is not found and can not be
// massaged to a format, null is returned.
var_dump($localize->phone('abc-def-gehi')); // null
