Overview

Are you stick to death of PHP's inconsistencies in terms on manipulating strings? Well, look no further!

Rather than constantly having to write obtuse code like this to check if a string contains a substring:

  strpos($mystring, $substring) !== false ? true : false;

You can now do this (and many other things), sensibly!

  $string = new String($myString);

  $bool = $string->contains($substring);

Yay! :)

Usage

After applying any methods, the underlying text/string can be accessed as follows:

$stringy = new Stringy("mystring");
$stringy->append("is fun", " ");

echo $stringy->string();
//"mystring is fun";

Methods

Checkout the tests for examples of each method.
