README

This is a maintained fork of danielstjules/Stringy in order to support PHP 7.3 compatibility.

A PHP string manipulation library with multibyte support. Compatible with PHP 5.4+, PHP 7+ (including PHP 7.3), and HHVM.

s('string')->toTitleCase()->ensureRight('y') == 'Stringy'

Refer to the 1.x branch or 2.x branch for older documentation.

Why?

In part due to a lack of multibyte support (including UTF-8) across many of PHP's standard string functions. But also to offer an OO wrapper around the mbstring module's multibyte-compatible functions. Stringy handles some quirks, provides additional functionality, and hopefully makes strings a little easier to work with!

// Standard library
strtoupper('fòôbàř');       // 'FòôBàř'
strlen('fòôbàř');           // 10

// mbstring
mb_strtoupper('fòôbàř');    // 'FÒÔBÀŘ'
mb_strlen('fòôbàř');        // '6'

// Stringy
s('fòôbàř')->toUpperCase(); // 'FÒÔBÀŘ'
s('fòôbàř')->length();      // '6'

Installation

If you're using Composer to manage dependencies, you can include the following in your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "danielstjules/stringy": "~3.1.0"
}

Then, after running composer update or php composer.phar update, you can load the class using Composer's autoloading:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Otherwise, you can simply require the file directly:

require_once 'path/to/Stringy/src/Stringy.php';

And in either case, I'd suggest using an alias.

use Stringy\Stringy as S;

Please note that Stringy relies on the mbstring module for its underlying multibyte support. If the module is not found, Stringy will use symfony/polyfill-mbstring. ex-mbstring is a non-default, but very common module. For example, with debian and ubuntu, it's included in libapache2-mod-php5, php5-cli, and php5-fpm. For OSX users, it's a default for any version of PHP installed with homebrew. If compiling PHP from scratch, it can be included with the --enable-mbstring flag.

OO and Chaining

The library offers OO method chaining, as seen below:

use Stringy\Stringy as S;
echo S::create('fòô     bàř')->collapseWhitespace()->swapCase(); // 'FÒÔ BÀŘ'

Stringy\Stringy has a __toString() method, which returns the current string when the object is used in a string context, ie: (string) S::create('foo') // 'foo'

Implemented Interfaces

Stringy\Stringy implements the IteratorAggregate interface, meaning that foreach can be used with an instance of the class:

$stringy = S::create('fòôbàř');
foreach ($stringy as $char) {
    echo $char;
}
// 'fòôbàř'

It implements the Countable interface, enabling the use of count() to retrieve the number of characters in the string:

$stringy = S::create('fòô');
count($stringy);  // 3

Furthermore, the ArrayAccess interface has been implemented. As a result, isset() can be used to check if a character at a specific index exists. And since Stringy\Stringy is immutable, any call to offsetSet or offsetUnset will throw an exception. offsetGet has been implemented, however, and accepts both positive and negative indexes. Invalid indexes result in an OutOfBoundsException.

$stringy = S::create('bàř');
echo $stringy[2];     // 'ř'
echo $stringy[-2];    // 'à'
isset($stringy[-4]);  // false

$stringy[3];          // OutOfBoundsException
$stringy[2] = 'a';    // Exception

PHP 5.6 Creation

As of PHP 5.6, use function is available for importing functions. Stringy exposes a namespaced function, Stringy\create, which emits the same behaviour as Stringy\Stringy::create(). If running PHP 5.6, or another runtime that supports the use function syntax, you can take advantage of an even simpler API as seen below:

use function Stringy\create as s;

// Instead of: S::create('fòô     bàř')
s('fòô     bàř')->collapseWhitespace()->swapCase();

StaticStringy

All methods listed under "Instance methods" are available as part of a static wrapper. For StaticStringy methods, the optional encoding is expected to be the last argument. The return value is not cast, and may thus be of type Stringy, integer, boolean, etc.

use Stringy\StaticStringy as S;

// Translates to Stringy::create('fòôbàř')->slice(0, 3);
// Returns a Stringy object with the string "fòô"
S::slice('fòôbàř', 0, 3);

Class methods

create(mixed $str [, $encoding ])

Creates a Stringy object and assigns both str and encoding properties the supplied values. $str is cast to a string prior to assignment, and if $encoding is not specified, it defaults to mb_internal_encoding(). It then returns the initialized object. Throws an InvalidArgumentException if the first argument is an array or object without a __toString method.

$stringy = S::create('fòôbàř'); // 'fòôbàř'

Instance Methods

Stringy objects are immutable. All examples below make use of PHP 5.6 function importing, and PHP 5.4 short array syntax. They also assume the encoding returned by mb_internal_encoding() is UTF-8. For further details, see the documentation for the create method above, as well as the notes on PHP 5.6 creation.

append(string $string)

Returns a new string with $string appended.

delimit(int $delimiter)

Returns a lowercase and trimmed string separated by the given delimiter. Delimiters are inserted before uppercase characters (with the exception of the first character of the string), and in place of spaces, dashes, and underscores. Alpha delimiters are not converted to lowercase.

s('fooBar')->delimit('::'); // 'foo::bar'
endsWith(string $substring [, boolean $caseSensitive = true ])

lowerCaseFirst()

Converts the first character of the supplied string to lower case.

s('Σ foo')->lowerCaseFirst(); // 'σ foo'
pad(int $length [, string $padStr = ' ' [, string $padType = 'right' ]])

Pads the string to a given length with $padStr. If length is less than or equal to the length of the string, no padding takes places. The default string used for padding is a space, and the default type (one of 'left', 'right', 'both') is 'right'. Throws an InvalidArgumentException if $padType isn't one of those 3 values.

s('fòôbàř')->pad(9, '-/', 'left'); // '-/-fòôbàř'
padBoth(int $length [, string $padStr = ' ' ])

Returns a new string of a given length such that both sides of the string string are padded. Alias for pad() with a $padType of 'both'.

prepend(string $string)

Returns a new string starting with $string.

s('bàř')->prepend('fòô'); // 'fòôbàř'
regexReplace(string $pattern, string $replacement [, string $options = 'msr'])

Replaces all occurrences of $pattern in $str by $replacement. An alias for mb_ereg_replace(). Note that the 'i' option with multibyte patterns in mb_ereg_replace() requires PHP 5.6+ for correct results. This is due to a lack of support in the bundled version of Oniguruma in PHP < 5.6, and current versions of HHVM (3.8 and below).

s('fòô ')->regexReplace('f[òô]+\s', 'bàř'); // 'bàř'
s('fò')->regexReplace('(ò)', '\\1ô'); // 'fòô'
removeLeft(string $substring)

Returns a new string with the prefix $substring removed, if present.

s('fòôbàř')->removeLeft('fòô'); // 'bàř'

replace(string $search, string $replacement)

Replaces all occurrences of $search in $str by $replacement.

s('fòô bàř fòô bàř')->replace('fòô ', ''); // 'bàř bàř'
reverse()

Returns a reversed string. A multibyte version of strrev().

s('fòôbàř')->reverse(); // 'řàbôòf'
safeTruncate(int $length [, string $substring = '' ])

Truncates the string to a given length, while ensuring that it does not split words. If $substring is provided, and truncating occurs, the string is further truncated so that the substring may be appended without exceeding the desired length.

s('What are your plans today?')->safeTruncate(22, '...');
// 'What are your plans...'
shuffle()

A multibyte str_shuffle() function. It returns a string with its characters in random order.

s('fòôbàř')->shuffle(); // 'àôřbòf'
slugify([, string $replacement = '-' [, string $language = 'en']])

Converts the string into an URL slug. This includes replacing non-ASCII characters with their closest ASCII equivalents, removing remaining non-ASCII and non-alphanumeric characters, and replacing whitespace with $replacement. The replacement defaults to a single dash, and the string is also converted to lowercase. The language of the source string can also be supplied for language-specific transliteration.

s('Using strings like fòô bàř')->slugify(); // 'using-strings-like-foo-bar'
slice(int $start [, int $end ])

Returns the substring beginning at $start, and up to, but not including the index specified by $end. If $end is omitted, the function extracts the remaining string. If $end is negative, it is computed from the end of the string.

s('fòôbàř')->slice(3, -1); // 'bà'
split(string $pattern [, int $limit ])

Splits the string with the provided regular expression, returning an array of Stringy objects. An optional integer $limit will truncate the results.

s('foo,bar,baz')->split(',', 2); // ['foo', 'bar']
startsWith(string $substring [, boolean $caseSensitive = true ])

Returns true if the string begins with $substring, false otherwise. By default, the comparison is case-sensitive, but can be made insensitive by setting $caseSensitive to false.

s('FÒÔbàřbaz')->startsWith('fòôbàř', false); // true
startsWithAny(string[] $substrings [, boolean $caseSensitive = true ])

Returns true if the string begins with any of $substrings, false otherwise. By default the comparison is case-sensitive, but can be made insensitive by setting $caseSensitive to false.

s('FÒÔbàřbaz')->startsWithAny(['fòô', 'bàř'], false); // true
stripWhitespace()

Strip all whitespace characters. This includes tabs and newline characters, as well as multibyte whitespace such as the thin space and ideographic space.

s('   Ο     συγγραφέας  ')->stripWhitespace(); // 'Οσυγγραφέας'
substr(int $start [, int $length ])

Returns the substring beginning at $start with the specified $length. It differs from the mb_substr() function in that providing a $length of null will return the rest of the string, rather than an empty string.

s('fòôbàř')->substr(2, 3); // 'ôbà'
surround(string $substring)

Surrounds a string with the given substring.

s(' ͜ ')->surround('ʘ'); // 'ʘ ͜ ʘ'
swapCase()

Returns a case swapped version of the string.

s('Ντανιλ')->swapCase(); // 'νΤΑΝΙΛ'
tidy()

Returns a string with smart quotes, ellipsis characters, and dashes from Windows-1252 (commonly used in Word documents) replaced by their ASCII equivalents.

s('“I see…”')->tidy(); // '"I see..."'
titleize([, array $ignore])

Returns a trimmed string with the first letter of each word capitalized. Also accepts an array, $ignore, allowing you to list words not to be capitalized.

$ignore = ['at', 'by', 'for', 'in', 'of', 'on', 'out', 'to', 'the'];
s('i like to watch television')->titleize($ignore);
// 'I Like to Watch Television'
toAscii([, string $language = 'en' [, bool $removeUnsupported = true ]])

Returns an ASCII version of the string. A set of non-ASCII characters are replaced with their closest ASCII counterparts, and the rest are removed by default. The language or locale of the source string can be supplied for language-specific transliteration in any of the following formats: en, en_GB, or en-GB. For example, passing "de" results in "äöü" mapping to "aeoeue" rather than "aou" as in other languages.

s('fòôbàř')->toAscii(); // 'foobar'
s('äöü')->toAscii(); // 'aou'
s('äöü')->toAscii('de'); // 'aeoeue'
toBoolean()

Returns a boolean representation of the given logical string value. For example, 'true', '1', 'on' and 'yes' will return true. 'false', '0', 'off', and 'no' will return false. In all instances, case is ignored. For other numeric strings, their sign will determine the return value. In addition, blank strings consisting of only whitespace will return false. For all other strings, the return value is a result of a boolean cast.

s('OFF')->toBoolean(); // false
toLowerCase()

Converts all characters in the string to lowercase. An alias for PHP's mb_strtolower().

s('FÒÔBÀŘ')->toLowerCase(); // 'fòôbàř'
toSpaces([, tabLength = 4 ])

Converts each tab in the string to some number of spaces, as defined by $tabLength. By default, each tab is converted to 4 consecutive spaces.

s(' String speech = "Hi"')->toSpaces(); // '    String speech = "Hi"'
toTabs([, tabLength = 4 ])

Converts each occurrence of some consecutive number of spaces, as defined by $tabLength, to a tab. By default, each 4 consecutive spaces are converted to a tab.

s('    fòô    bàř')->toTabs();
// '   fòô bàř'
toTitleCase()

Converts the first character of each word in the string to uppercase.

s('fòô bàř')->toTitleCase(); // 'Fòô Bàř'
toUpperCase()

Converts all characters in the string to uppercase. An alias for PHP's mb_strtoupper().

s('fòôbàř')->toUpperCase(); // 'FÒÔBÀŘ'
trim([, string $chars])

Returns a string with whitespace removed from the start and end of the string. Supports the removal of unicode whitespace. Accepts an optional string of characters to strip instead of the defaults.

s('  fòôbàř  ')->trim(); // 'fòôbàř'
trimLeft([, string $chars])

Returns a string with whitespace removed from the start of the string. Supports the removal of unicode whitespace. Accepts an optional string of characters to strip instead of the defaults.

s('  fòôbàř  ')->trimLeft(); // 'fòôbàř  '
trimRight([, string $chars])

Returns a string with whitespace removed from the end of the string. Supports the removal of unicode whitespace. Accepts an optional string of characters to strip instead of the defaults.

s('  fòôbàř  ')->trimRight(); // '  fòôbàř'
truncate(int $length [, string $substring = '' ])

Truncates the string to a given length. If $substring is provided, and truncating occurs, the string is further truncated so that the substring may be appended without exceeding the desired length.

s('What are your plans today?')->truncate(19, '...'); // 'What are your pl...'
underscored()

Returns a lowercase and trimmed string separated by underscores. Underscores are inserted before uppercase characters (with the exception of the first character of the string), and in place of spaces as well as dashes.

s('TestUCase')->underscored(); // 'test_u_case'
upperCamelize()

Returns an UpperCamelCase version of the supplied string. It trims surrounding spaces, capitalizes letters following digits, spaces, dashes and underscores, and removes spaces, dashes, underscores.

s('Upper Camel-Case')->upperCamelize(); // 'UpperCamelCase'
