Packer-PHP
==========

[](#packer-php)

Simple Key-Value Storage for PHP.

Packer aims to be a zero-config, zero-install and works as PHP works library that developers can quickly pull into their project for use immediately for small and medium scaling usage.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4eaaaa8b7647638e14fb5a3b6c95b303d39bbf5b9ac1a338fd15fddbff22dafb/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f746865706870646576656c6f7065722f5061636b65722d5048502e706e67)](http://travis-ci.org/thephpdeveloper/Packer-PHP)

Installation *via Composer*
---------------------------

[](#installation-via-composer)

To use Packer in your project, add a dependency to `mauris/packer` in your project's `composer.json` file. The following is a minimal sample configuration to use Packer in your project.

```
{
    "require": {
        "mauris/packer": "1.0"
    }
}

```

After which run the command:

```
php composer.phar install

```

Learn more about [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once you have installed Packer as your project's dependencies using Composer, you can use the `Packer` class directly in your code.

To work with a Packer file, you create an instance of `Packer` like this:

```
$packer = new Packer\Packer('config.pack');

```

### Writing / Overwriting

[](#writing--overwriting)

To write a key and value entry to the Packer file, simply use the `write($key, $value)` method like this:

```
$packer->write('autorun', false);

```

### Reading

[](#reading)

To fetch a value from a Packer file, use the `read($key)` method.

```
$autorun = $packer->read('autorun');

```

### Deleting

[](#deleting)

To delete a value from the Packer file:

```
$packer->delete('autorun');
// $packer->exist('autorun') === false

```

### Fetch all keys

[](#fetch-all-keys)

To iterate through the Packer file, you can fetch the keys using the `keys()` method:

```
echo '';
foreach($packer->keys() as $key){
    echo '' . $packer->read($key) . '';
}
echo '';

```

### Clearing

[](#clearing)

```
