README

PHP 8.5 optimized drop-in replacement for voku/portable-ascii — built for Fledge.

Why a separate package?

The base webpatser/portable-ascii supports PHP 8.1+ and conditionally detects extensions at runtime. This variant requires PHP 8.5 and ext-mbstring, removing all conditionals for maximum performance:

  • No runtime capability detection — mbstring is always available
  • mb_str_split() directly (no preg_match_all fallback)
  • mb_convert_encoding() for UTF-8 cleaning (no regex fallback)
  • All PHP 8.5 features enabled unconditionally

Installation

composer require webpatser/fledge-portable-ascii

Replaces both voku/portable-ascii and webpatser/portable-ascii via Composer's replace directive.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.5+
  • ext-mbstring (required, not optional)
  • ext-intl (optional — used in strict transliteration mode)

Usage

Same API as voku/portable-ascii:

use voku\helper\ASCII;

ASCII::to_ascii('Düsseldorf', 'de');    // 'Duesseldorf'
ASCII::to_slugify('Hello Wörld!');      // 'hello-woerld'
ASCII::to_transliterate('こんにちは');   // 'konnichiha'
ASCII::is_ascii('hello');               // true
