Member Function Documentation

static TLString::arrayAssign	(	$	array,
		$	vars
	)			[static]

Assign the elements in an array to separate variables.

 $foo = array('bar', 'bas');
 TLString::arrayAssign($foo, (&$bar, &$bas) );

Parameters:

	$array	(array) Array of which to assign elements
	$vars	(ass. array) Associative array containing pass-by-reference variables to which to asign the parts of the exploded string. Number of vars must be equal to the number of parts that are the result of the split (or false will be returned).

Returns:

True if the parts were succesfully assigned to the variables in $var. False if otherwise.

Postcondition:

The values of the variables in $var will be assigned the values of the elements in $array

Note:

Variables in $vars must be passed by reference. That is: array(&$var1, &$var2), not array($var1, $var2)!

static TLString::endsWith	(	$	string,
		$	end
	)			[static]

Parameters:

	$string	(string) String to check end of.
	$end	(string) End value.

True if $string ends with $end. False otherwise.

Note:

Case-sensitive.

static TLString::explodeAssign	(	$	string,
		$	seperator,
		$	vars
	)			[static]

Split string using a seperator and assign the resulting parts to variables.

Example:

 $foo = "foo,bar,bas";
 TLString::explodeAssign($foo, ",", (&foo, &$bar, &$bas) );

Parameters:

	$string	(string) String to split.
	$seperator	(char) Character to split on.
	$vars	(ass. array) Associative array containing pass-by-reference variables to which to asign the parts of the exploded string. Number of vars must be equal to the number of parts that are the result of the split (or false will be returned).

Returns:

True if the parts were succesfully assigned to the variables in $var. False if otherwise.

Postcondition:

The values of the variables in $var will be assigned the parts that resulted from the splitting of $string.

Note:

Variables in $vars must be passed by reference. That is: array(&$var1, &$var2), not array($var1, $var2)!

static TLString::isOfChars	(	$	string,
		$	chars
	)			[static]

Check if a string consists of (and only of) a bunch of characters.

Parameters:

	$chars	(string) Collection of character to check for. Ranges can be defined by using a-z.

Returns:

True if $string consists of (and only of) characters in $chars. False otherwise.

Note:

Case-sensitive.

If you want to check for a dash ('-'), you must escape it: isOfChars("-hey-", "a-z\-")
