Comparator
----------

[](#comparator)

The Comparator is a little library to compare values in a easy way. Very useful for dynamic comparisons.

```
$operator = '==';
$argument1 = 1;
$argument2 = 1;
if(Comparator::compare($operator, $argument1, $argument2)) {
    //do something
}
```

Operators
---------

[](#operators)

The Comparator comes with some operators:

- '==', '!=', '>', '>=', '<', '<='
- 'version'
- 'substr'
- 'bit'
- 'between'
- 'bool'
- 'day'
- 'date\_range'

```
//Example 'bool' operator
if(Comparator::compare('bool', true, $_GET['activated'])) {
    //do something
}

//Example 'date' operator
if(Comparator::compare('day', 'now', $date)) {
    //do something
}

//Example 'date_range' operator
if(Comparator::compare('date_range', new \DateTime(), $dateFrom, $dateTo)) {
    //do something
}
```

The 'date' and 'date\_range' operators can handle Timestamps, DateTimeObjects as well as DateStrings ('now' or '-2 days').
