PHP Tag Management Library: A Comprehensive Toolkit for Tag Handling

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

PHP-Tag is a dynamic and robust library designed for developers who need to manage and manipulate tags within their PHP applications. Whether you're working on content management systems, music libraries, photo galleries, or any platform that utilizes tagging, this library provides an extensive suite of functionalities to streamline tag management.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **String Tag Conversion**: Convert a comma-separated string of tags into an array and vice versa.
- **Tag Classification**: Group tags based on a custom pattern and distinguish between classified and unclassified tags.
- **Tag ID Management**: Merge, slice, check, and remove tag IDs with ease, supporting both single-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays.
- **Normalization**: Sanitize and normalize tag names by replacing special characters, converting to lowercase, and trimming excess whitespace.
- **Regular Expression Patterns**: Set and use custom regular expression patterns for validating tag formats and classifications.
- **Exception Handling**: Built-in exception handling for robust and error-free tag manipulation.

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

[](#installation)

To install PHP-Tag, run the following command using Composer:

```
composer require carry0987/tag
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Below is a quick example of how to use the PHP-Tag library:

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

use carry0987\Tag\Tag;

$tag = new Tag();

// Set and get string tags
$tag->setString('php,library,tag');
echo 'String Tags: ', $tag->getString(), PHP_EOL;

// Convert string tags to array
print_r($tag->getList());

// Classify tags and differentiate into groups
$tag->classifyTagGroup();
print_r($tag->getClassified());
print_r($tag->getUnclassified());

// Normalize a tag name for consistent formatting
echo Tag::clearTagName('  Normalize: This_Tag!  '), PHP_EOL;

// Merge and manipulate tag IDs
$tagsArray = [['id' => 1, 'name' => 'php'], ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'library']];
$mergedTagIds = Tag::mergeTagID($tagsArray, 'id');
echo 'Merged Tag IDs: ', $mergedTagIds, PHP_EOL;
```
