Native Methods Fixer
====================

[](#native-methods-fixer)

> Just for fun, I don't want to offend anyone. Enjoy!

A whimsical PHP package that fixes the inconsistent parameter ordering in PHP's native functions by providing wrapper functions with consistent signatures.

The Problem
-----------

[](#the-problem)

PHP's native functions have inconsistent parameter ordering:

```
// Needle/haystack are swapped between array and string functions
in_array($needle, $haystack)
strpos($haystack, $needle)

// Callback position varies
array_map($callback, $array)
array_filter($array, $callback)

// Subject position in replacement functions
preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $subject)
str_replace($search, $replace, $subject)
```

The Solution
------------

[](#the-solution)

This package provides `fixed_*` wrapper functions that consistently place the subject/haystack as the first parameter:

```
use function NativeMethodsFixer\fixed_in_array;
use function NativeMethodsFixer\fixed_strpos;
use function NativeMethodsFixer\fixed_array_map;
use function NativeMethodsFixer\fixed_preg_replace;

// All search functions: haystack first, needle second
fixed_in_array($haystack, $needle)
fixed_strpos($haystack, $needle)

// All array functions: array first, callback second
fixed_array_map($array, $callback)
fixed_array_filter($array, $callback)

// All replacement functions: subject first
fixed_preg_replace($subject, $pattern, $replacement)
fixed_str_replace($subject, $search, $replace)
```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require kozmaoliver/native-methods-fixer
```

Usage
-----

The functions are automatically available after Composer autoload:
