Getting Started

This library is registered on packagist, so you can easily include it in your project using composer.

composer require jpuck/phpdev

Don't forget to require the autoloader in your script.

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

Functions

bool strbegins(String $haystack, String $needle)

Checks whether a string begins with a string.

$haystack = 'test';
$needle   = 'te';
if(Functions::strbegins($haystack, $needle)){
	echo "$haystack begins with $needle";
}

mixed print_rt ( mixed $expression [, bool $return = false ] )

Tabulator wrapper for print_r replaces 8 spaces with a tab.

use jpuck\phpdev\Functions as jp;

$array = [
	'first' =>
	[
		'second' =>
		[
			'third' =>
			[
				'forth' =>
				[
					'fifth' => 5
				]
			]
		]
	]
];

print_r($array);

jp::print_rt($array);

Example displayed on console with tabs set to 4 spaces:

Array
(
    [first] => Array
        (
            [second] => Array
                (
                    [third] => Array
                        (
                            [forth] => Array
                                (
                                    [fifth] => 5
                                )

                        )

                )

        )

)
Array
(
    [first] => Array
    (
        [second] => Array
        (
            [third] => Array
            (
                [forth] => Array
                (
                    [fifth] => 5
                )

            )

        )

    )

)

mixed arr_export ( array $array [, bool $return = false ] )

Format arrays using var_export with tabs, square brackets, and no trailing spaces after arrows to newlines.

use jpuck\phpdev\Functions as jp;

$array = [
	'first' =>
	[
		'second' =>
		[
			'third' =>
			[
				'forth' =>
				[
					'fifth' => 5
				]
			]
		]
	]
];

var_export($array);

jp::arr_export($array);

Example displayed on console with tabs set to 4 spaces:

array (
  'first' => 
  array (
    'second' => 
    array (
      'third' => 
      array (
        'forth' => 
        array (
          'fifth' => 5,
        ),
      ),
    ),
  ),
)

[
    'first' =>
    [
        'second' =>
        [
            'third' =>
            [
                'forth' =>
                [
                    'fifth' => 5,
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
]

NOTICE: The documentation on using this function with objects is clear.

Note: To be able to evaluate the PHP generated by var_export(), all processed objects must implement the magic __set_state method. Note that StdClass does not implement __set_state().

$function = function(){};

$a = [
	'object' => new stdClass,
	'function' => $function,
];

$b = var_export($a, true);

eval("print_r($b);");

The above code will result in the following errors:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method stdClass::__set_state()

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Closure::__set_state()

null CleanMsSQLdb (PDO $pdo)

This is a dangerously powerful script for dropping everything from a Microsoft SQL Server database dbo schema.

• non-system stored procs
• views
• functions
• tables (regardless of Primary/Foreign Key constraints)

Exceptions

Unimplemented Method

use jpuck\phpdev\Exceptions\Unimplemented;

class MyClass {
	public function foo() {
		// completed code
		return true;
	}

	/**
	 * @throws Unimplemented
	 */
	public function bar() {
		// work in progress

		throw new Unimplemented(__METHOD__);

		return true;
	}
}
