Monolyth Plumber
================

[](#monolyth-plumber)

Utilities for the Monolyth unframework

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

[](#installation)

### Composer (recommended)

[](#composer-recommended)

```
$ composer require monolyth/plumber
```

### Manual

[](#manual)

1. Download or clone the repository;
2. Add `/path/to/plumber/src` for namespace `Monolyth\Plumber` to your PSR-4 autoloader.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Currently only 2 utilities are included: `Utf8` and `Proxy`. Statically call the `handle` method on the classes to utilise them.

`Utf8`
------

[](#utf8)

The `Utf8::handle` method normalises PHP's UTF-8 handling.

`Proxy`
-------

[](#proxy)

The `Proxy::handle` method attempts to normalise the `X_HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR`header so you can just use `REMOTE_ADDR` everywhere. Note that not all proxies handle this the same, so you might need to roll your own.
