-ITools - A simple support library for PHP
-=========================================
-Home: http://itools.search.ch/
-License: http://itools.search.ch/itools/live/COPYING
-Installing: svn co http://itools.search.ch/itools/live itools
-Reference: http://itools.search.ch/(function | class | class/function)
-Tutorial video: http://itools.search.ch/2007-11-14-itools-demo.mov
-
-ITools is a collection of PHP functions and classes which make a few common
-tasks in PHP easier. It works in PHP 5 and up.
-
-Our examples omit array() around function parameters and use dangling commas.
-To get that, you can either use our just-in-time syntax converter or use
-our patch for PHP (see http://cschneid.com/php/ for info). To use the syntax
-converter, see the chapter about it_auto_prepend.php below.
-
-it_auto_prepend.php - ITools environment (optional)
----------------------------------------------------
-If you include this with the PHP auto_prepend_file ini setting you get the
-following benefits:
-a) Includes all the ITools functionality
-b) auto_prepend.php is included for each directory in the include path.
-c) Automatic syntax conversion is enabled if you have a vanilla PHP without
-our syntax patch installed.
-NOTE: This may need manual configuration on shared hosting
-d) An autoloader for classes is installed, you don't need to require any files
-it looks for foo.class if you access class foo).
-e) $GLOBALS['IT_HOME'] is set to one level above the DOCUMENT_ROOT in web
-mode, one level above the script for CLI mode: This allows access to data
-directories from web and CLI mode alike.
-
-Example:
- # Put this line in .htaccess or httpd.conf to set up ITools environment
- php_value auto_prepend_file YOUR_PATH_TO_ITOOLS/it_auto_prepend.php
-
-
-it_html - HTML output generation
---------------------------------
-it_html creates a global function for each common html tag. Those functions
-accept variable arguments, key=>value pairs are considered attributes.
-
-Example:
- new it_html; # Not necessary if using it_auto_prepend.php
- echo html(
- head('title' => "welcome earth"),
- body(
- p('style' => "margin:1em",
- a('href' => U("http://google.com/search", 'q' => "Hello World"), "Hello World"),
- ),
- ),
- );
-
-Functions:
- new it_html($config) -- create global functions, choose (x)html style
- div($attributes, $content) -- return a <div> with attributes and content
- html($params, $content) -- return a <html> but adds correct doctype
- head($params, $content) -- return a <head> but needs special params
- select($tags, $options, $selected) -- build a html select from an array
- tag($tag, $content) -- create arbitrary <$tag>
- Q($str) -- html encode a value, roughly like htmlentities
- U($arr) -- create a valid url from strings and key=>value
- it_html::sanitize($html) -- remove dangerous tags from html code
-
-
-
-it_dbi - Database access
-------------------------
-The dbi object is a simple mysql interface. For each table in your database,
-a class is created automatically. Queries are encoded as arrays which ensures
-correct quoting, see select(). Errors are by default reported within dbi.
-
-Example:
- it_dbi::createclasses(); # Not necessary if using it_auto_prepend.php
- $record = new T_Customers('ID' => 'mueller');
- $record->update('email' => "mueller@spam.com");
- $response = "Email added for $record->name";
- # Using Iterators (PHP 5+ only):
- foreach (new T_Customers as $customer) { ... } # Iterate all customers
- foreach (new T_Customers('age' => 42) as $customer) { ... }
- foreach (new T_Customers as $id => $customer) { ... } # $id = $customer->_key
- # ... you can iterate over any query (also multiple times):
- $customers->select('age' => 42);
- foreach ($customers as $customer) { foo($customer); }
- foreach ($customers as $customer) { bar($customer); }
-
-Functions:
- it_dbi::createclasses($config) -- create database objects for each table name
- $t = new Tablename($query) -- return a dbi object, executes optional select
- $t->select($query) -- read first result of (encoded) query into t.
- $t->iterate() -- advance to next result
- $t->update($fields) -- update selected record from key=>value pairs
- $t->insert($fields) -- insert a new record from key=>value pairs
- $t->replace($fields) -- replace a new record from key=>value pairs
- $t->delete($query) -- delete current record or those found by query
- $t->query($sqlquery) -- execute a raw SQL query on db connection
-
-
-
-it_text - Translation support
------------------------------
-it_text finds the best language to use from browser and override settings. It
-then reads texts.php in the format documented in the constructor. You can then
-use T() to translate a label. Unknown labels are reported using it::error()
-
-Example:
- echo T('hello') . ' ' . Q($customer->name);
- echo ET('chainletter', 'name' => Q($customer->name));
-
-Functions:
- new it_text($config) -- read texts. usually called implicitly
- T($label) -- return translated $label
- ET($label, $values) -- return translated $label w/ values replaced
- T_lang() -- returns current language
- T_set_language($language) -- sets a new language
- T_exists($label) -- returns whether a label is defined
-
-
-
-it_debug - Debug support
-------------------------
-it_debug is used for debugging. The function ED($foo, $bar) echoes the
-values of $foo and $bar AND prepends it with the names of the variables. EDX()
-does the same and exits. EDC('verbose', $foo) only echoes if
-$GLOBALS['debug_verbose'] is set. it_debug::backtrace() outputs a compact
-stackdump.
-
-Example:
- ED($foo, $bar); # echoes name and value of $foo and $bar
- EDC('verbose', $foo);
-
-Functions:
- ED($args...) -- echoes names and values of all args
- EDX($args...) -- echoes names and values of all args and exits
- EDC('foo', $var...) -- echoes only if $GLOBALS['debug_foo'] is set
- D($args...) -- returns formatted names and values of params
- it_debug::backtrace($skip) -- prints short backtrace, skipping $skip levels
-
-
-
-it.class - Tool functions
--------------------------
-it.class provides various statically callable functions. The main groups are:
-a) Much simpler perl regex matching (no delimiters, matches returned directly
-as scalar or array, case insensitive, locale support) and a multi-pattern
-replacement function.
-b) Better error functions: stack and variable dumps added to error messages,
-error messages mailed if display_errors is off. Extra parameter allow the
-filtering of sporadic errors.
-c) Better shell support, specifically a command line parser and an exec
-function that handles quoting.
-
-Example:
- $from = it::match('From: (.*)', $mail);
- $page = it::replace('<.*?>' => '', ' +' => ' ', $page);
- it::error('title'=>"cannot connect", 'id'=>"db"); # suppress sporadic errors
- it::fatal("internal error");
- $diff = it::exec("diff -wu {old} {new}", 'old' => $old, 'new' => $new);
- it::imageconvert('in' => "src.jpg", 'out' => "dst.jpg", 'size' => "80x80");
-
-Functions:
- it::match($pattern, $subject, $opts) -- find pattern in subject using opts; return matches
- it::replace($replace, $subject, $opts) -- replace patterns in subject; return result
- it::error($info) -- print or mail error message
- it::fatal($info) -- print or mail error message, then exit
- it::bail($message) -- print message to stderr, exit with errcode
- it::exec($command, $values) -- execute command, return output
- it::getopt($usage) -- parse (or print) usage, return options,
- it::gets() -- fetch next line from stdin or named arg
- it::imageconvert($params) -- Convert image using ImageMagick convert
- it::log($fn, $data, $data...) -- Append data (separated by tabs) to log/$fn-$date
- it::map($expr, $array) -- Apply php expression to array members & return
-
-
-
-it_url - URL handling
----------------------
-Helper functions dealing with URLs.
-
-Example:
- $filename = it_url::get_cache(
- 'url' => "http://static.php.net/www.php.net/images/php.gif",
- 'timeout' => 5,
- 'cachedir' => $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/cache",
- );
-
-Functions:
- it_url::get($params) -- performs GET/POST requests to web servers
- it_url::get_cache($params) -- performs GET/POST and caches the result
-
-
-it_user - Session handling
---------------------------
-This allows maintaining session cookies and authentication status for users.
-Not documented yet, check the source.
-
-it_xml - XML parser
--------------------
-This will parse an XML string and returns a tree of PHP objects; similar to
-simplexml, supports a streaming mode for huge XML files. Not documented yet,
-check the source.
