Stringizer is a string library made up of existing PHP multibyte-string functions and a variety of string manipulation solutions found on Stackoverflow.com. The intent is to save you time looking up string maninpulation solutions yourself and provide the convience of method chaining. Awarded the Innovation Award in June 2016 from PHPClasses.org.

It's recommended that you use Composer to install Stringizer.
Manual install with composer
$ composer require jasonlam604/stringizer "^2.14.0"Using the composer.json file
"require": {
"jasonlam604/stringizer": "^2.14.0"
}This will install Stringizer and all required dependencies. Stringizer requires PHP 5.6.0 or newer.
Sample usage:
<?php
// Composer Autoloader
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Stringizer\Stringizer;
$s = new Stringizer("myapp");
$s->ensureRight("/");
// The following outputs: myapp/
echo $s->getString(); To execute the test suite, you'll need phpunit.
$ phpunitFeel free to open any Issues, Bugs or suggestions!
