README

The PHP Char Combinator is a utility class that provides methods to generate arrays of character combinations based on specified criteria.

WARNING:

• This package is not intended to be deployed in any web-projects. It's a tool for testing - not production. No warrenty for any damage!
• This will generate a lot of combinations, make sure your are ready to handle the volume. You probably will need to adjust your php.ini

Features

• Generate arrays of character combinations within a specified length range.
• Generate an array of ASCII characters or non-alphanumeric ASCII characters.
• Recursive combination generation algorithm for generating all possible combinations.

Usage

Installation

composer require spekulatius/php-char-combinator

Basic Usage

Here's a basic example of how you can use the Combinator class to generate combinations of characters:

use Spekulatius\PHPCharCombinator\Combinator;

$combinator = new Combinator();

// Generate combinations of lengths 1 to 3 using ASCII characters
$asciiChars = $combinator->prepareAsciiChars();
$combinations = $combinator->generateCombinations($asciiChars, 1, 3);

foreach ($combinations as $combination) {
    echo $combination . "\n";
}

Additional Methods

The Combinator class provides two additional methods:

prepareAsciiChars()

This method generates an array of all ASCII characters.

$asciiChars = $combinator->prepareAsciiChars();

prepareNonAlphanumericAsciiChars()

This method generates an array of non-alphanumeric ASCII characters.

$nonAlphanumericChars = $combinator->prepareNonAlphanumericAsciiChars();
