ClipClop
========

[](#clipclop)

A PHP option parser based on [getopt()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.getopt.php).

ClipClop allows you to easily create command line tools with options. ClipClop automatically generates nicely formatted usage instructions, and also gives a convenient API for accessing parameters and values.

ClipClop handles required and optional parameters, and values for them. So a given option such as "--verbose" can be required or optional in itself, and it can have no parameter value or an optional one, or a required one.

ClipClop manages multiple values, although enforces single values by default, can validate against regular expressions and can parse out certain types for you: integers, numbers, json and urls.

Quick Example
-------------

[](#quick-example)

Create a script called "environment\_test", with the following code

```
#!/usr/bin/env php
