Btc Helper is a class with some helper methods for bitcoin

Installation

Simply add a dependency to your project's composer.json file if you use Composer to manage the dependencies of your project.

Here is a minimal example of a composer.json file that just defines a dependency on BTCHelper:

{
    "require": {
        "jaycodesign/btchelper": "dev-master"
    }
}

Formatting

You can deal with Satoshis everywhere in your code and only convert to BTC at display time like so:

  use JaycoDesign\BTCHelper\BTCHelper;
  $one_satoshi = BTCHelper::format(1); // 0.00000001

Conversion

BTCHelper::convertToBTCFromSatoshi(303490); // 0.0030349
BTCHelper::convertToSatoshiFromBTC("0.00000001"); // 1
BTCHelper::convertBTCToMilliBits("0.001"); // 1
BTCHelper::convertMilliBitsToBTC(1); // 0.001
BTCHelper::convertBTCToMicroBits("0.000001"); // 1
BTCHelper::convertMicroBitsToBTC(1); // 0.000001

Bitcoin Address Validation

BTCHelper::validBitcoinAddress("1Af3EHHrbYRwaj4dcbKKcBxYxc6Z8j7xMZ"); // TRUE
BTCHelper::validBitcoinAddress("POO"); // FALSE
