blob-common
===========

[](#blob-common)

A PHP library with handy, reusable functions for sanitizing, formatting, and manipulating data.

For information about the plugin Tutan Common, which repackages and extends these functions for WordPress environments, click [here](https://github.com/Blobfolio/blob-common/tree/master/wp/).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

blob-common requires PHP 7.0+ with the following modules:

- BCMath or GMP
- DOM
- Fileinfo
- Filter
- JSON
- MBString
- SimpleXML

UTF-8 is used for all string encoding. This could create conflicts on environments using something else.

The [WebP](https://github.com/Blobfolio/blob-common/wiki/Images) functionality additionally requires access to server-side `cwebp` and `gif2webp` binaries. See the linked reference for more details.

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

[](#installation)

Use Composer:

```
composer require "blobfolio/blob-common:dev-master"
```

Or grab the compiled Phar and include it in your project:

```
require_once('bin/blob-common.phar');
```

Note: The Phar is gzipped so PHP needs to have gzip capabilities to be able to read it. :)
