Methods

public static camelize (mixed $str, [mixed $delimiter])

Converts strings to camelize style

echo Phalcon\Text::camelize("coco_bongo"); // CocoBongo
echo Phalcon\Text::camelize("co_co-bon_go", "-"); // Co_coBon_go
echo Phalcon\Text::camelize("co_co-bon_go", "_-"); // CoCoBonGo

public static uncamelize (mixed $str, [mixed $delimiter])

Uncamelize strings which are camelized

echo Phalcon\Text::uncamelize("CocoBongo"); // coco_bongo
echo Phalcon\Text::uncamelize("CocoBongo", "-"); // coco-bongo

public static increment (mixed $str, [mixed $separator])

Adds a number to a string or increment that number if it already is defined

echo Phalcon\Text::increment("a"); // "a_1"
echo Phalcon\Text::increment("a_1"); // "a_2"

public static random ([mixed $type], [mixed $length])

Generates a random string based on the given type. Type is one of the RANDOM_* constants

// "aloiwkqz"
echo Phalcon\Text::random(
    Phalcon\Text::RANDOM_ALNUM
);

public static startsWith (mixed $str, mixed $start, [mixed $ignoreCase])

Check if a string starts with a given string

echo Phalcon\Text::startsWith("Hello", "He"); // true
echo Phalcon\Text::startsWith("Hello", "he", false); // false
echo Phalcon\Text::startsWith("Hello", "he"); // true

public static endsWith (mixed $str, mixed $end, [mixed $ignoreCase])

Check if a string ends with a given string

echo Phalcon\Text::endsWith("Hello", "llo"); // true

public static reduceSlashes (mixed $str)

echo Phalcon\Text::reduceSlashes("http://foo.bar///baz/buz"); // http://foo.bar/baz/buz

public static concat ()

Concatenates strings using the separator only once without duplication in places concatenation

);

// /tmp/folder_1/folder_2/folder_3/
echo $str;

public static dynamic (mixed $text, [mixed $leftDelimiter], [mixed $rightDelimiter], [mixed $separator])

// Hello my name is a Bob
echo Phalcon\Text::dynamic("{Hi|Hello}, my name is a {Bob|Mark|Jon}!");

// Hello my name is a Zyxep
echo Phalcon\Text::dynamic("[Hi/Hello], my name is a [Zyxep/Mark]!", "[", "]", "/");
