Some PHP helpers.

Installation

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Capture

[](#capture)

With `capture()` you can more easily return the `[1]` group of a regular expression, or `[0]` if no parenthesis are set. The function sets up delimeters automatically.

```
$text = 'This costs $200,00 including shipping.';

$exp = '\$(200),00'; // instead of /\$(200),00/i

echo capture($exp, $text);  // returns 200
```

It's also possible to use `capture_list()`. In this case the first match in the list of expressions will be returned.

```
$text = 'This costs 200 EUR including shipping.';
$exps = [
  '(\d+) USD',
  '(\d+) GBP',
  '\$(\d+)',
  '(\d+)',
];
echo capture_list($exps, $text); // => 200
```

### Number range

[](#number-range)

`number_range` creates a numeric range on the fly. Example:

```
echo number_range(10.5, 13.9, 2, '%');
// 10,50 – 13,90 %
```
