PHP TagBuilder
==============

[](#php-tagbuilder)

A lightweight HTML tag building API for PHP

Benefits:
---------

[](#benefits)

- No more HTML mangling and switching between <?php mode
- No more inline attribute logic/toggling
- Less painful echoing, concatenating
- Easily store HTML tags in a variable
- Impossible to write malformed HTML (PHP brackets require balance)
- Auto-escaped attribute values
- Able hook/filter all elements/content/attributes
- Integration with VBTK Context for granular hooking/filtering
- Won't show tags with empty content (no more if !empty() logic)

Usage:
------

[](#usage)

\_*tagname*() <- echo html \_\_*tagname*() <- return html

### Args:

[](#args)

\_*tagname*($attributes, $content)

$attributes - optional - key/value array of attributes

- values can be strings, numbers, or arrays
- given a plain sequential array (numeric keys), values will default to the `class` attr
- if an attribute is set to a key/value array, then the value will determine whether to include the corresponding key (useful for class toggling)

$content - optional - value or array of values

- values can be strings, functions or an array of strings and functions

Examples
--------
