Accept-Language HTTP Header Parser
==================================

[](#accept-language-http-header-parser)

A parser for the Accept-Language HTTP header following [RFC 2616](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.4)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5fdf3b19ad2fdcbd8a1cc546ccbc8af7a4d0ff9373404097e9436e91c953c532/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f53796f6e69782f687474702d6865616465722d6163636570742d6c616e67756167652e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/Syonix/http-header-accept-language)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Syonix\Http\Header\AcceptLanguage\AcceptLanguage;

$parsed = AcceptLanguage::parse('da, en-gb;q=0.8, en;q=0.7'); // Returns Array ordered by quality (q)
$parsed = AcceptLanguage::match('de-CH, de-DE;q=0.9, de;q=0.8', ['de-DE', 'de']); // Returns 'de-DE'
```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- `AcceptLanguage::match()` throws a RuntimeException, if none of the accepted languages matches and `*` is not in the `Accept-Languages` string.
- If `*` is accepted and none of the other accepted languages match, the passed `$default` parameter is passed
- If `$default` is omitted, the first element of the `$locale` array is returned.
- Both `parse` and `match` are case insensitive.
- `parse` always returns the case of the input string
- `match` always returns the case of the provided locale array.
- As per the RFC, the quality value defaults to `q=1`.
