Horde Stringprep
================

[](#horde-stringprep)

Unicode string preparation for authentication and protocol identifiers. Provides both legacy **RFC 3454 Stringprep** and modern **RFC 7564 PRECIS**profiles, backed by PHP's `ext-intl` with no bundled vendor dependencies.

Requires PHP 8.1+ and `ext-intl`.

Stringprep profiles (RFC 3454)
------------------------------

[](#stringprep-profiles-rfc-3454)

Frozen to Unicode 3.2. Used by older protocol specifications.

[](#usage)

All profiles implement `ProfileInterface` with the same `apply()` method:

```
use Horde\Stringprep\SaslPrepProfile;
use Horde\Stringprep\OpaqueStringProfile;
use Horde\Stringprep\ProfileInterface;

// Legacy stringprep
$saslprep = new SaslPrepProfile();
$username = $saslprep->apply($input, ProfileInterface::MODE_QUERY);

// Modern PRECIS
$opaque = new OpaqueStringProfile();
$password = $opaque->apply($input, ProfileInterface::MODE_STORE);
```

`MODE_STORE` (default) rejects unassigned codepoints. `MODE_QUERY` allows them.

See [doc/UPGRADING.md](doc/UPGRADING.md) for migration from the bundled `lib/` Znerol implementation.
