Created by Branislav Zvolensky  Based on orginal source code of Eslam Mahmoud   github:

Description
-----------

[](#description)

The class to scan files/project and create or update .po file or .php file, used for localization. Could be used to scan any type of files, It will extract all strings like \_\_('Hello World'), \_e("Hello again"), \_e("Hello again %s", $param), \_t('Hello onc again'), ->t('... and again').

Original code was refactored, namespaced, extended of php array generator and there were fixed or covered some use cases such us:

- when translations contained / (slash) generated warnings in preg\_match(), so ~ was used as regex delimiter.
- when translations contained special characters such as .!() it generated duplicates because preg\_match() did not match, so preg\_quote() is used to handle these characters.
- Generator scanned in hidden directories such as .git or .svn, so hidden files and directories were excluded from scan.
- Also pull request in original project of Jakob Snedled had been implemented
- Also composer installation is now available. See bellow.
