String
======

[](#string)

The string library is just a simple collection of missing php string functions.

API
---

[](#api)

```
// truncate a string and append an optional truncation value
function truncate($str, $len, $end = '')
function map_join($strs, $sep, $predicate)
// hide a substring with a char by replacing each char with the replacement_char
function substr_hide($str, $replacement_char, $start, $length)

```

Look at the `test/string.php` for examples.
