Why use this?

Some reasons to use this over the preg_* functions:

• Allows for easy RegExp re-use.
• Matches are encapsulated allowing access to the RegExp from which it came.
• When using PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, it is included in the Match object for easy access.
• More to come...

Usage

<?php include 'vendor/autoload.php';

use DanDoesCode\RegExp\RegExp;
use DanDoesCode\RegExp\RE;

// Use the Facade
$matches = RE::match('/"(?<name>[^"]*)"/', 'My name is "Dan".');

// These are equivelent:
$name = (string) $matchs['name'];
$name = $matchs['name']->getMatch();


// Easy RegExp re-use
$quotedTextRE = new RegExp('/"(?<text>[^"]*)"/');
$matches1 = $quotedTextRE->match('My name is "Dan".');
$matches2 = $quotedTextRE->match('My name is "Joe".');
