Utility - Collection of various PHP utility functions.

Utility is a small collection of useful functions that are aimed to make developers' lives just a tad bit easier.

Installation

Composer

Install the latest version with:

$ composer require esi/utility

Then, within your project (if not already included), include composer's autoload. For example:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

?>

Basic Usage

Utility is a set of classes that are broken down into several "components":

`Utilities`

As an example, let's say you want to convert a string to title case. To do so:

<?php

use Esi\Utility\Strings;

$title = Strings::title('this is my title');

echo $title;

?>

All methods of found within Utility's classes are static. So, for example, to retrieve the information for a particular timezone:

<?php

use Esi\Utility\Dates;

$timezone = Dates::timezoneInfo('America/New_York');

print_r($timezone);

    [latitude] => 40.71416
    [longitude] => -74.00639
    [dst] => 
)
