The Text utility has a number of methods to help when working with strings.
Installation
To install this package
$ composer require originphp/text
Converting Strings to Ascii
To convert a string into Ascii (Transliterate)
$ascii = Text::toAscii('Ragnarr Loðbrók'); // Ragnarr LodbrokCreating a Slug
To create a URL safe slug. The string will be converted to ASCII then any unkown characters will be replaced with the separator.
$slug = Text::slug('Who is Ragnarr Loðbrók?'); // who-is-ragnarr-lodbrokContains
To check if a string contains a substring.
$result = Text::contains('foo','What is foo bar'); // trueGetting parts of strings
When you need to get part of a string before or after a substring
$result = Text::left('foo','What is foo bar'); // 'What is '
$result = Text::right('foo','What is foo bar'); //' bar'Checking the start and end of a string
$bool = Text::startsWith('What','What is foo bar'); // true
$bool = Text::endsWith('bar','What is foo bar'); // trueReplace
To replace a substring with another string
$result = Text::replace('foo','***','What is foo bar'); // 'What is *** bar'
$result = Text::replace('foo','***','What is FOO bar',['insensitive'=>true]); // 'What is *** bar'Insert
To insert values into a string using placeholders (string interpolation)
$string = Text::insert('Record {id} has been updated',[
'id'=>1234568
]); // Record 1234568 has been updatedAnother example:
$letter = file_get_contents('/directory/some-file');
$string = Text::insert($letter,[
'salutation' => 'Mr.',
'first_name' => 'Tony',
'last_name' => 'Robbins',
'address_1' => '100 Santa Monica Road',
]);You can also change the place holders
$string = Text::insert('Record :id has been updated',[
'id'=>1234568,'before'=>':','after'=>''
]); // Record 1234568 has been updatedTokenize
For quick and easy parsing of strings, the Tokenize method makes things simple. By default tokenize splits strings
using a comma , and quotation mark " as an enclosure.
$string = '2019-07-10 13:30:00 192.168.1.22 "GET /users/login HTTP/1.0" 200 1024';
$result = Text::tokenize($string,['separator'=>' ']);
/*
// Will give you this
[
'2019-07-10',
'13:30:00',
'192.168.1.22',
'GET /users/login HTTP/1.0',
'200',
'1024'
];
*/You can also supply keys instead which will be mapped.
$string = '2019-07-10 13:30:00 192.168.1.22 "GET /users/login HTTP/1.0" 200 1024';
$result = Text::tokenize($string,[
'separator'=>' ',
'keys'=>['date','time','ip','request','code','bytes']
]);
/*
// Will give you this
[
'date'=>'2019-07-10',
'time'=>'13:30:00',
'ip' => '192.168.1.22',
'request' =>'GET /users/login HTTP/1.0',
'code'=>'200',
'bytes'=>'1024'
];
*/Truncate
To truncate a string if it is longer than a specific length. The default length is 30.
$truncated = Text::truncate($string,['length'=>50,'end'=>'... truncated']);Word Wrap
To wordwrap a string
$wrapped = Text::wordWrap($string); // default is 80
$wrapped = Text::wordWrap($string,['width'=>50]);Other
Other handy string functions (through mb_string)
$lowerCase = Text::lower($string);
$uppserCase = Text::upper($string);
$int = Text::length($string);
