jdwx/args
=========

[](#jdwxargs)

PHP library for handling command-line arguments

It's designed to provide methods for safely retrieving most common argument types, including strings, integers, floating point values, boolean flags, sets of keywords, filenames, hostnames, IP addresses, and email addresses.

It's useful for handling arguments presented to a PHP script on the shell command line, e.g.:

```
YourPrompt$ ./example.php Hello, world.
```

Or it could refer to the arguments on a command entered into a PHP-based REPL, such as a custom management tool.
