README

PHP utility function library.

##About

• No userland dependencies
• Windows and developer friendly

###Why I found myself re-implementing the same helper functions/methods over and over again. I decided to stop doing that and created this library instead.

##Packages The "packages" are just groupings of alike functions.

A non-exhaustive listing:

####Arrays Many array_*() functions, e.g.:

• array_pull()
• array_key() (get a key by relative position)
• array_map_keys() (like array_map() but for keys)
• array_filter_keys() (like array_filter() but for keys)

Array "dot-notation":

• array_get()
• array_set()
• array_unset()
• array_isset()

e.g.

$a = array("some" => array("item" => array("key" => 1)));
array_get($a, "some.item.key") // returns "1"

####String Several str_*() functions, such as:

• str_endswith() and str_startswith() (with case-sensitive option)
• str_sentences() (sentence extractor)
• str_alnum() (strip non-alphanumeric characters)
• str_numeric() (detects and casts numeric strings to float or int)

URL-safe Base64 encoding and decoding:

• base64_url_encode()
• base64_url_decode()

Simple common inflectors:

• str_pear_case() (e.g. "Some_String_Like_This")
• str_snake_case() (e.g. "some_string_like_this")
• str_studly_case() (e.g. "SomeStringLikeThis")
• str_camel_case() (e.g. "someStringLikeThis")

####Format String formatting functions:

• str_format() (generic string formatter)
• hash_format() (e.g. for inserting "-" into UUIDs)
• phone_format() (detects format based on length)
• bytes_format() (option for SI or IEC)

####Sanitize/Validate Wrappers for common uses of filter_var():

• sanitize()
• validate()

####Filesystem

• is_abspath()
• joinpath()
• globr() (recursive glob())
• scandirr() (recursive scandir())

####CSV

• file_get_csv()
• file_put_csv()
• csv2array()

####XML

• xml_write_document()
• xml_write_element()
• xml2array()

####Callables

• result()
• invoke() (matches named or ordered parameters to a callable function signature)
• callable_id() (human-readable callable identifiers)

####Misc

• is_xml()
• is_json()
• is_serialized()
• object_to_array() (no more *prop => ugly from casting to array)
• define_safe() (define a constant only if undefined)
• pdo_dsn() (creates a DSN string for PDO drivers)
