What is - motivation
--------------------

[](#what-is---motivation)

Trying to extend some PHP objects to be used on a more functional way. Once one PHP developer said that nowadays IDE's can help us to avoid remembering the lack of standardization some PHP methods has. As I don't use an IDE, as lots of developers out there, I don't agree with that and I'm kind of tired to try to remember if on `array_filter` or `array_map`the array goes first and the function goes last or what order they are.

So, I think it's easier to use on a function and Ruby style way, where we can call the methods on the **object** and it returns what we need.

One notable exception to try to make things easier is that PHP have some reserved and constant words we cannot reuse even inside a namespace, like `Array`. So I needed to call the `Array` class `Collection`, otherwise it will be impossible to implement. All the classes have the original object accessible with the `values` method.

Other thing is that some methods just returns a value or null, true or false. No more guesses and wonderings of what happened if it returns 0 or false.

Samples
-------

[](#samples)

```
$t = new PHPR\Collection([0 => "zero", 1 => "one", 2 => "two"]);

// outputs:
// null
// yay, no more 'undefined index' messages!
echo $t[10]."\n";

// outputs:
// zero
// one
// two
$t->each(function($e) {
   echo "$e\n";
});

// each
// outputs:
// 0 - zero
// 1 - one
// 2 - two
$t->each(function($key, $val) {
   echo "$key - $val\n";
});

$t->includes("one");    // true
$t->includes("three");  // false

// sort
// outputs:
// array(3) {
//   [0] =>
//   string(3) "one"
//   [1] =>
//   string(3) "two"
//   [2] =>
//   string(4) "zero"
// }
$sorted = $t->sort();
var_dump($sorted->values());

$t->min(); // "one"
$t->max(); // "zero"

// select
// outputs (keeping order):
// array(1) {
//   [0] =>
//   string(4) "zero"
// }
$selected = $t->select(function($e) {
   return strlen($e) > 3;
});
var_dump($selected->values());

// map
// outputs:
// array(3) {
//   [0] =>
//   string(4) "orez"
//   [1] =>
//   string(3) "eno"
//   [2] =>
//   string(3) "owt"
// }
$changed = $t->map(function($e) {
   return strrev($e);
});
var_dump($changed->values());

$t->all(function($e) { return strlen($e) > 2; })); // true
$t->all(function($e) { return strlen($e) > 3; })); // false

$t->any(function($e) { return strlen($e) > 3; })); // true
$t->any(function($e) { return strlen($e) > 4; })); // false

// chainable methods
// outputs:
// array(2) {
//     [0] =>
//     string(3) "eno"
//     [1] =>
//     string(3) "owt"
//   }
$changed = self::$_col->map(function($e) {
   return strrev($e);
})->select(function($e) { return strlen($e) values());
```
