So over 2 months have passed since the last blog entry - much have changed. It's all described in ChangeLog.md on github, so there's no reason for rewriting it again.
One big change is Pattern building - which lets you handle user input or unsafe characters
in your patterns. It's got a dedicated section in Docs, too.
Except for that, there's a discussion section in Help - feel free to ask questions or propose features!
The library changes its name! Now it's called T-Regx! It's a combination of words "T-Rex" - the dinosaur - and "RegExp".
Also, I've invested much more time into the development of CleanRegex T-Regx. Read on, for a detailed list of features.
One update about groups, not to cause confusion. $match->groups() treats indexes a bit different than $match->group(int).
Read on to learn more :)
Hello there! Another update, this time there's more to it - much has changed.
Here's a quick list:
PHP 5.3Match and ReplaceMatch).Pattern::of()In addition, I'd like to give a quick thanks to Bartek - my friend currently working at Thulium - for a nice suggestion :)
I've separated the library into CleanRegex and SafeRegex. The SafeRegex is an exact copy of all preg_*() methods
(like preg_match(), preg_replace()). They're used like this:
preg_match() -> preg::match()preg_replace() -> preg::replace()I didn't want to use namespaces (like \SafeRegex\preg_match) because that would
mean the programmers reading the code would have to check the imported namespaces every time they look at the code.
With double colon :: it's obvious. Read on, for more details.
Another quicky update what's going on with CleanRegex :)
Most important of these two is that patterns used with CleanRegex no longer need delimiters :> I'm pretty happy with it, I don't see any reason why developers should keep including those.
I'm here just to give you guys, a quick update and sum up what's been going on.
So, I'm pretty happy with how's the lib looking right now. :) There's a pretty throughout ReadMe.md there on CleanRegex github, but I bet you I'll expand it with more examples. :)
The library, actually, already looks like how I imagined it and how I will try to make it look in the end, which is:
nulls, falsees and empty and nested arrays with clean API.Hello, there! I'm very pleased to inform you that I've just started working on an open source Regular Expressions library for PHP. :> I'm really passionate about it and I hope we'll get along really nicely!
