FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package sanitiser
A simple class to fix common input errors in Email addresses.
This library takes a string and tries to turn it into a 'clean' email address without any extraneous junk that would cause it to fail.
Why would I use it?
This library was written to simplify importing email addresses from files and other systems where proper sanitisation hadn't previously been applied. Lists of users to add to a system supplied in Excel, email addresses collected from conferences etc. The intention is to be 'good enough' to fix 99% of the common errors you see in that kind of data, leaving you free to only look at the ones that definitely failed.
What does it do?
Catch and 'fix' a variety of common issues like:
- Trailing semi-colons, commas etc
- Leading or trailing whitespace (including zero-widths)
- Addresses wrapped in quotes or primes
- Addresses wrapped in angle brackets (discarding anything else like a name)
- Rejects obviously broken addresses like
test,test@,test@.etc.
What it doesn't do
- Verify that the email address/domain/mail server exists or will work, obviously. The only way to test an email address is to actually send to it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
- Work for every possible RFC compliant email - there are plenty of things you're technically allowed to do that you're not going to come across in the real world. e.g.
me@localhost - Guarantee that it matches the user's intent (e.g. if there were multiple email addresses listed, it will only pick the first one. Is that correct? ¯\(ツ)/¯)
How to use it.
use Actinity\Sanitiser\Sanitiser;
$address = Sanitiser::clean($address)
clean() returns either a clean address, or false if it looks hopelessly broken.
