PHP UTF8 To RTF
===============

[](#php-utf8-to-rtf)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

A simple PHP class for converting UTF8 characters to an RTF safe version in a string.

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

[](#installation)

`composer require tomwilford/php-utf8-to-rtf`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

> Requires PHP 7.0 or higher

Instantiate the converter using:

```
$converter = new CharacterConverter();
```

To find and replace UTF8 characters with RTF safe versions in a long string use:

```
$convertedString = $converter->findAndReplace($string);
```

Or, for shorter strings and characters, simply convert the whole string:

```
$convertedString = $converter->convertStringToRtf($string);
```

You can also convert an array of UTF8 strings:

```
$convertedArray = $converter->convertArrayToRtf($arrayOfStrings);
```

Finally, if you need to do any additional processing on the UTF8 characters before converting, you can extract them as an array using:

```
$arrayToConvert = $converter->locateCharactersInString($string);
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

PHPUnit tests have been written using series of pangrams sourced online to try to best capture as many characters as possible in different languages being used in a natural way. Please see the [Pangrams trait](tests/Resources/Pangrams.php) for the pangram sources' credits.

There also is a short script that can [generate a test RTF file](tests/GenerateTestFile/generateTestFile.php) that can be opened in a word processor to verify the results.
