php\_genderize
==============

[](#php_genderize)

PHP5 lib for handling genderize.io gender recognition

Basicaly, it's for guessing the gender by a given first name and using [genderize.io](http://genderize.io).

Author: Bart Tyrant Contributors: Luke Shaheen @tlshaheen License: The MIT License

==Usage:==

The simplest case:

```
$recognizer = new \Genderize\Base\Recognizer('Peter');

$peter = $recognizer->recognize();
print_r($peter);
```

will give:

Genderize\\Base\\Name Object ( \[\_name:protected\] => Peter \[\_count:protected\] => 4284 \[\_gender:protected\] => male \[\_probability:protected\] => 1.00 )

You can pass multiple names - at time of writing, genderizer.io accepts up to 10 at once

```
$recognizer = new \Genderize\Base\Recognizer(array('Peter', 'John'));

$namesinfo = $recognizer->recognize();
print_r($namesinfo);
```

will give:

array(\[0\] => Genderize\\Base\\Name Object ( \[\_name:protected\] => Peter \[\_count:protected\] => 4284 \[\_gender:protected\] => male \[\_probability:protected\] => 1.00 ), \[1\] => Genderize\\Base\\Name Object ( \[\_name:protected\] => Peter \[\_count:protected\] => 4284 \[\_gender:protected\] => male \[\_probability:protected\] => 1.00 ) )

\--

Also, country and language filters are supported:

```
$Recognizer = Genderize::factory();

$asia = $Recognizer->set_name('Asia')->recognize();
print_r($asia);

$asiaPL = $Recognizer->set_country_id('pl')->set_name('Asia')->recognize();
print_r($asiaPL);
```

... will print out:

Genderize\\Base\\Name Object ( \[\_name:protected\] => Asia \[\_count:protected\] => 97 \[\_gender:protected\] => female \[\_probability:protected\] => 0.99 ) Genderize\\Base\\Name Object ( \[\_name:protected\] => Asia \[\_count:protected\] => 26 \[\_gender:protected\] => female \[\_probability:protected\] => 1.00 \[\_country\_id\] => PL )

Have an API key from ? Use `$Recognizer->set_api_key($api_key)` to pass it with the request.
