ALIB, A multipurpose PHP Library

ALIB is a PHP library designed to make using PHP easier and faster.

⚠️ WARNING

ALIB is currently pre-pre-pre-pre alpha and is definetly not production ready. Use at your own risk.

ALIB includes many common functions often used by PHP programmers, such as a JSON append function, and a tag formatting function.

Installation

Go to the releases page and get the latest version of alib.php then, drop the file into your library folder (most commonly called lib) To include ALIB onto a page, insert this code:

<?php
require("lib/alib.php");
$ALIB = new alib();
?>

Usage

Using the tag formatting function as an example, to use an ALIB function, insert this code into your PHP script: $ALIB->formatInTag("Sample text", "p") This will place the string "Sample text" into a paragraph tag.

To echo this to the document, simply add: echo $ALIB->formatInTag("Sample text", "p")
