Php Dot
=======

[](#php-dot)

Php Dot allows you to add and retreive values from a php array via dot notation.

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

[](#installation)

`composer require ronappleton/php-dot "v1.0"`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Declare `use RonAppleton\Dot\Dot;` at the top of your file.

Then:

`$dot = new Dot;`

`$value = $dot->get($array, 'key.to.your.value', $defaultValue);`

`$success = $dot->set($array, 'key.to.append.value', $value);`

Note: set accesses the array via reference and returns true on success.
