OEH WU Meta
===========

[](#oeh-wu-meta)

small support classes

Installation: composer support
------------------------------

[](#installation-composer-support)

```
{
    "require": {
        "oehwu/meta": "~2.0"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://git.oeh-wu.at/oehwu/meta.git"
        }
    ]
}

```

Usage: StudentId
----------------

[](#usage-studentid)

Since winter semester 2017/2018 student IDs have 8 digits (and a university code letter).

This class provides two static methods to validate and filter/normalize a given student ID and a third combined method for convenience. Both methods expect the *h* letter (university code letter for WU) to be present in the passed `$studentId`.

### Validation:

[](#validation)

```
OEHWU\Meta\StudentId::isValid(string $studentId): bool

```

Returns `true` if the student ID is valid, even for converted legacy IDs (e.g. `h01234567` is valid).

### Normalization:

[](#normalization)

```
OEHWU\Meta\StudentId::filter(string $studentId): string

```

Sanitizes the student ID and returns the normalized variant. If an e-mail address is provided as `$studenId` it will extract the local part of the address and assumes that to be the student ID.

Legacy student IDs will be converted to the **old** format, i.e. `h01234567` will be converted to `h1234567`.

See the unit tests file for more examples.

### Combined:

[](#combined)

```
OEHWU\Meta\StudentId::check(string $studentId): ?string

```

Normalizes and validates the given `$studentId` and returns the normalized student ID or `null` if the student ID is not valid.

Usage: Cookie
-------------

[](#usage-cookie)

Returns a snippet which can be used to display (and dismiss) a cookie notice.

```
OEHWU\Meta\Cookie::getSnippet()

```

Usage: Header
-------------

[](#usage-header)

This class implements one public static method:

```
OEHWU\Meta\Header::getHeader()

```

The method returns the Header HTML `string` to be `echo`ed. It should be used right after the opening `` tag, with ``'s margin and padding set to `0`.

The *cURL* library has to be installed. Otherwise the method silently fails and returns `null`.

Usage: CheckSSL
---------------

[](#usage-checkssl)

The package has two public static methods:

```
OEHWU\CheckSSL\CheckSSL::isSSL()

```

Returns `bool` `true` or `false`.

```
OEHWU\CheckSSL\CheckSSL::redirect()

```

Redirects the client to the SSL version of the current website, if not already there.
