Stringy Patterns
================

[](#stringy-patterns)

A PHP string pattern detection library with multibyte support.

```
use Stringy\Patterns as P;

// get all patterns
$results_array = P::create('abcdabcdab')->getPatterns();

// get all patterns, include single occurrences
$results_array = P::create('abcdabcdab')->getPatterns(true);
```

Why?
----

[](#why)

Patterns are all around us, perhaps *you* will find something useful.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

If you're using Composer to manage dependencies:

```
composer require aternus/stringy-patterns

```

Then, after running `composer update`, you can load the class using Composer's autoloading:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```

Otherwise, you can simply require the file directly:

```
require_once 'vendor/aternus/stringy-patterns/src/Patterns.php';
```

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

```
use Stringy\Patterns as P;
```

Please note that Stringy Patterns relies on the `mbstring` module for its underlying multibyte support. If the module is not found, and as long as you've installed Stringy Patterns using composer, Stringy Patterns will use [symfony/polyfill-mbstring](https://github.com/symfony/polyfill-mbstring). 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.
