Install
-------

[](#install)

Install package with composer

```
composer require hugsbrugs/php-array

```

In your PHP code, load library

```
require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
use Hug\HArray\HArray as HArray;
```

Note: I couldn't use Array as namespace because it's a PHP reserved word so it's why namespace is HArray ...

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Shuffle an array while preserving keys

```
HArray::shuffle_assoc(&$array);
```

Sort an array based on column filter and optional sort direction

```
HArray::array_sort_by_column(&$arr, $col, $dir = SORT_ASC);
```

Sort a 2 dimensional array based on 1 or more indexes.

```
$new_array = HArray::msort($array, $key, $sort_flags = SORT_REGULAR);
```

Recursively implodes an array with optional key inclusion

```
$string = HArray::recursive_implode($glue, array $array, $include_keys = false, $trim_all = true);
```

Transforms an object (and object of object) into an array

```
$new_array = HArray::object_to_array($obj);
```

Count in 2 dimensions arrays, number of rows in sub arrays

```
$count = HArray::sub_count($array);
```

Cuts a string into an array of strings depending of word count

```
$new_array = HArray::string_to_array($text, $word_count);
```

Inserts an element at a given position in an array

```
$array = ['pomme', 'poire', 'fraise', 'banane'];
$array = HArray::array_insert($array, 'kiwi', 2);
Array
(
    [0] => pomme
    [1] => poire
    [2] => kiwi
    [3] => fraise
    [4] => banane
)

$array = ['pomme', 'poire', 'fraise', 'banane'];
$array = HArray::array_insert($array, ['kiwi', 'mangue'], 2);
Array
(
    [0] => pomme
    [1] => poire
    [2] => kiwi
    [3] => mangue
    [4] => fraise
    [5] => banane
