====================

Credits

[](#credits)

This class is made by unreal4u (Camilo Sperberg). [unreal4u.com/](http://unreal4u.com/)

About this class
----------------

[](#about-this-class)

- Originally conceived to be a receiver of all loose string-related functions that I've made throughout the years
- Later also a playground to learn about multibyte capabilities of strings

Detailed description
--------------------

[](#detailed-description)

This package is a collection of functions related to string manipulation.

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
include('src/unreal4u/stringOperations.php');
$stringOperations = new unreal4u\stringOperations();
$result = $stringOperations->truncate('this is a bigger text', 15);
```

- Congratulations! Result will have a truncated string, compatible with UTF-8 characters:

 ```
 this is a bigger...

```

- Please see examples and PHPUnit tests for more options and advanced usage

Composer
--------

[](#composer)

This class has support for Composer install. Just add the following section to your composer.json with:

```
{
    "require": {
        "unreal4u/string-operations": "@stable"
    }
}
```

Now you can instantiate a new stringOperations class by executing:

```
require('vendor/autoload.php');

$stringOperations = new unreal4u\stringOperations();
```

Pending
-------

[](#pending)

- Search for more loose functions spattered around my codebase
- Improve the usage of the internal used charset
- Consistent usage of the class and it subcomponents (UTF-8 in createSlug)
- Multiple arguments for separator in truncate function
- Use transliterate instead of htmlentities (Will produce BC!)
