Some of the other LiveControls packages will depend on this library. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Arrays [](#arrays) #### array\_get [](#array_get) ``` $array['val1' => 'Value1', 'val2' => 'Value2']; echo array_get('val1', $array); // 'Value1' echo array_get('val3', $array); // null echo array_get('val3', $array, 'no_value'); // 'no_value' ``` #### array\_remove [](#array_remove) ``` $array['val1' => 'someValue', 'val2' => 'someOtherValue']; array_remove('val1', $array); echo $array; //['val2' => 'someOtherValue'] ``` #### array\_remove\_value [](#array_remove_value) ``` $array ['someValue', 'someOtherValue']; array_remove_value('someValue', $array); echo $array; //['someOtherValue'] ``` #### array\_has\_duplicates [](#array_has_duplicates) ``` $array['someValue', 'someOtherValue']; echo array_has_duplicates($array); //returns false $array2['key1' => 'someValue', 'key2' => 'someValue']; echo array_has_duplicates($array2); //returns true $array3['1984', 1984]; echo array_has_duplicates($array3, true); //returns false, because type of value 0 is different than from value 1 $array4[1984, 1984]; echo array_has_duplicates($array4, true); //returns true, because type of value 0 and value 1 are identical ``` #### array\_get\_duplicates [](#array_get_duplicates) ``` $array['someValue', 'someOtherValue']; echo array_get_duplicates($array); //returns an empty array $array2['key1' => 'someValue', 'key2' => 'someValue']; echo array_get_duplicates($array2); //returns an array ['someValue'] $array3['1984', 1984]; echo array_get_duplicates($array3, true); //returns an empty array, because type of value 0 is different than from value 1 $array4[1984, 1984]; echo array_get_duplicates($array4, true); //returns an array [1984], because type of value 0 and value 1 are identical ``` ### BBCodes [](#bbcodes) #### Valid bb tags [](#valid-bb-tags) - \[b\]\[/b\] - \[i\]\[/i\] - \[s\]\[/s\] - \[u\]\[/u\] - \[img\]\[/img\] - \[img=varxvar\]\[/img\] - \[center\]\[/center\] - \[justify\]\[/justify\] - \[right\]\[/right\] - \[ul\]\[/ul\] - \[ol\]\[/ol\] - \[li\]\[/li\] - \[url=\]\[/url\] - \[url\]\[/url\] - \[email=\]\[/email\] - \[size=\]\[/size\] - \[color=\]\[/color\] - \[hr\] - \[sub\]\[/sub\] - \[sup\]\[/sup\] ### Blogging [](#blogging) #### estimatedReadingTime [](#estimatedreadingtime) Calculates the estimated reading time of a text in minutes, based on the words per minute ``` $text = "This is a text with 400 words [...]"; //Imagine this text as 400 words long echo estimatedReadingTime($text); //Would return 2 (minutes) as the default words per minute rate is 200 echo estimatedReadingTime($text, 100); //Would return 4 (minutes) as the second parameter of the function acts as words per minute ``` ### Utils [](#utils) #### countNumber [](#countnumber) Counts the amonut of numbers inside a number ``` $var = 1234; echo countNumber($var); //'4' ``` #### calculateDaysInMonth [](#calculatedaysinmonth) Calculates the days between $fromDay and $toDay over a specific month ``` echo calculateDaysInMonth(0,5,11,2022); //returns the days in month as integer ``` #### number2Text [](#number2text) Transforms the number in cents to its textform. Needs NumberFormatter for it to work! ``` echo number2Text(100, 'pt_BR'); //returns the text representation of the number by its locale ``` #### leadingZeros [](#leadingzeros) Adds leading zeros to a number ``` echo leadingZeros(10, 4, false); //returns 0010 echo leadingZeros(10, 1, true); //throws exception because third parameter (isMax) is true and the number has more than 1 digit (second parameter {length}) ``` #### number2Currency [](#number2currency) Transforms a number into its currency counterpart. Needs NumberFormatter for it to work! ``` echo number2Currency(1000.20, 'pt_br', 'USD'); //returns $1.000,20 ``` #### array2String [](#array2string) Converts an array to string with a delimiter ``` echo array2String(['a','b','c'], '; '); //returns a; b; c ``` #### isNullOrEmpty [](#isnullorempty) Checks if the string is null or empty ``` echo isNullOrEmpty(' '); //returns true ``` #### calculateFormulas [](#calculateformulas) TODO, do not use as this is in the testing phase! #### toInteger [](#tointeger) Removes all non-numeric characters and leading zeros from a string and returns an integer ``` echo toInteger('a1234'); //returns 1234 echo toInteger('a01234'); //IMPORTANT, this would also return 1234 as an integer cant start with 0. In this case use toNumeric() ``` #### toNumeric [](#tonumeric) Removes all non-numeric characters from a string and returns an integer or string if it starts with a 0 ``` echo toNumeric('a01234'); //returns a string 01234 echo toNumeric('a1234'); //returns an integer 1234 ``` #### stringContains [](#stringcontains) Checks if a string contains a certain needle ``` echo stringContains('Test', 'T'); //returns true echo stringContains('Test', 'Q'); //returns false ``` #### isValidCPFCNPJ [](#isvalidcpfcnpj) Checks if the CPF/CNPJ number is valid ``` echo isValidCPFCNPJ('UM_CPF_OU_CNPJ_VALIDO'); //returns true if is CPF or CNPJ ``` #### isValidCPF [](#isvalidcpf) Checks if the CPF number is valid ``` echo isValidCPF('UM_CPF_VALIDO'); //returns true if cpf is valid ``` #### isValidCNPJ [](#isvalidcnpj) Checks if the CNPJ number is valid ``` echo isValidCNPJ('UM_CNPJ_VALIDO'); //returns true if cnpj is valid ``` #### toLatin [](#tolatin) Converts string to a string with only latin characters ``` echo toLatin('càdé'); //returns cade ``` #### importCSV [](#importcsv) Imports CSV from a file and returns an array with headers as first line ``` echo importCSV('test.csv'); //returns the content of the file test.csv as array with its first line as header ``` ### Health Score 48 — FairBetter than 94% of packages Maintenance96 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity18 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~15 days Recently: every ~41 days Total 64 Last Release 50d ago ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/2f366058ff9e06fad5c432234f0ac35a154bcc4153dbff096987489b16e87eb7?d=identicon)[daredloco](/maintainers/daredloco) --- Top Contributors [![daredloco](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/60240491?v=4)](https://github.com/daredloco "daredloco (79 commits)") ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/live-controls-utils/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/live-controls-utils/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/live-controls-utils) ``` PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
