UUID class
==========

##### *Universal Unique Identifier v3, v4 and v5 generator*

### How to use

[](#how-to-use)

```
use info\synapp\tools\uuid\UUID;

require_once 'vendor/elcodedocle/uuid/uuid.php';

//Named-based UUID:
$v3uuid = UUID::v3(UUID::v4(), 'BlahBlahSomeRandomStringBlergBlorg');
$v5uuid = UUID::v5(UUID::v4(), 'BlahBlahSomeRandomStringBlergBlorg');

//Pseudo-random UUID:
$v4uuid = UUID::v4();

echo 'UUIDv3: '.$v3uuid."\n".'UUIDv4: '.$v4uuid."\n".'UUIDv5: '.$v5uuid."\n";
```

### Motivation

[](#motivation)

I needed a UUID generator I could import as a dependency on my projects, so I took the one from the [PHP manual](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.uniqid.php#94959), added a composer.json and this README.md and uploaded it to this repo.

### Acks

[](#acks)

- The [OSF](http://www.opengroup.org/), for developing the UUID standards
- Andrew Moore, the class author (obviously)
- [The PHP Documentation Group](http://php.net/docs.php)

Enjoy!
