Method Details

base64UrlDecode() public static method (available since version 2.0.12)

Decodes "Base 64 Encoding with URL and Filename Safe Alphabet" (RFC 4648).

See also https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#page-7.

public static string base64UrlDecode ( $input )
$input string

Encoded string.
return string

Decoded string.
base64UrlEncode() public static method (available since version 2.0.12)

Encodes string into "Base 64 Encoding with URL and Filename Safe Alphabet" (RFC 4648).

Note: Base 64 padding = may be at the end of the returned string. = is not transparent to URL encoding.

See also https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#page-7.

public static string base64UrlEncode ( $input )
$input string

The string to encode.
return string

Encoded string.
basename() public static method

Returns the trailing name component of a path.

This method is similar to the php function basename() except that it will treat both \ and / as directory separators, independent of the operating system. This method was mainly created to work on php namespaces. When working with real file paths, php's basename() should work fine for you. Note: this method is not aware of the actual filesystem, or path components such as "..".

See also http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php.

public static string basename ( $path, $suffix = '' )
$path string

A path string.
$suffix string

If the name component ends in suffix this will also be cut off.
return string

The trailing name component of the given path.
byteLength() public static method

Returns the number of bytes in the given string.

This method ensures the string is treated as a byte array by using mb_strlen().

public static integer byteLength ( $string )
$string string

The string being measured for length
return integer

The number of bytes in the given string.
byteSubstr() public static method

Returns the portion of string specified by the start and length parameters.

This method ensures the string is treated as a byte array by using mb_substr().

See also http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php.

public static string byteSubstr ( $string, $start, $length = null )
$string string

The input string. Must be one character or longer.
$start integer

The starting position
$length integer

The desired portion length. If not specified or null, there will be no limit on length i.e. the output will be until the end of the string.
return string

The extracted part of string, or FALSE on failure or an empty string.
countWords() public static method (available since version 2.0.8)

Counts words in a string.

public static integer countWords ( $string )
$string string
dirname() public static method

Returns parent directory's path.

This method is similar to dirname() except that it will treat both \ and / as directory separators, independent of the operating system.

See also http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php.

public static string dirname ( $path )
$path string

A path string.
return string

The parent directory's path.
endsWith() public static method

Check if given string ends with specified substring.

Binary and multibyte safe.

public static boolean endsWith ( $string, $with, $caseSensitive = true )
$string string

Input string to check
$with string

Part to search inside of the $string.
$caseSensitive boolean

Case sensitive search. Default is true. When case sensitive is enabled, $with must exactly match the ending of the string in order to get a true value.
return boolean

Returns true if first input ends with second input, false otherwise
explode() public static method (available since version 2.0.4)

Explodes string into array, optionally trims values and skips empty ones.

public static array explode ( $string, $delimiter = ',', $trim = true, $skipEmpty = false )
$string string

String to be exploded.
$delimiter string

Delimiter. Default is ','.
$trim mixed

Whether to trim each element. Can be:

  • boolean - to trim normally;
  • string - custom characters to trim. Will be passed as a second argument to trim() function.
  • callable - will be called for each value instead of trim. Takes the only argument - value.
$skipEmpty boolean

Whether to skip empty strings between delimiters. Default is false.
floatToString() public static method (available since version 2.0.13)

Safely casts a float to string independent of the current locale.

The decimal separator will always be ..

public static string floatToString ( $number )
$number float|integer

A floating point number or integer.
return string

The string representation of the number.
matchWildcard() public static method (available since version 2.0.14)

Checks if the passed string would match the given shell wildcard pattern.

This function emulates \yii\helpers\fnmatch(), which may be unavailable at certain environment, using PCRE.

public static boolean matchWildcard ( $pattern, $string, $options = [] )
$pattern string

The shell wildcard pattern.
$string string

The tested string.
$options array

Options for matching. Valid options are:

  • caseSensitive: bool, whether pattern should be case sensitive. Defaults to true.
  • escape: bool, whether backslash escaping is enabled. Defaults to true.
  • filePath: bool, whether slashes in string only matches slashes in the given pattern. Defaults to false.
return boolean

Whether the string matches pattern or not.
mb_ucfirst() public static method (available since version 2.0.16)
