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.

SmartArray: Chainable Collections That HTML-Encode Themselves
SmartArray wraps your database rows so template code gets shorter and safer
at once: filter, sort, and group with chainable methods, and echo fields
directly. Fields HTML-encode themselves the moment you output them, so a
forgotten htmlspecialchars() can't become an injection.
Instead of writing code like this:
You can write code like this:
SmartArray works on any array, but it's built and documented around the most
common case: database rows. Query results from ZenDB and CMS Builder already
arrive as SmartArrays; for anything else, wrap once with
SmartArrayHtml::new($rows).
- Two modes, one API.
SmartArrayreturns plain PHP values for logic and data processing;SmartArrayHtmlreturns SmartStrings that HTML-encode themselves when echoed and chain formatting methods liketextOnly()andmaxChars(). - Nested data comes along. Wrap a set of database rows once and every row
is a SmartArray too:
$users->first()->namejust works.

You're Never Locked In
Use SmartArray where it makes your code simpler, and plain PHP where you prefer it. The original values are always one call away:
Related Libraries
- SmartString - the XSS-safe strings SmartArrayHtml returns, with chainable methods for formatting, dates, and numbers.
- ZenDB - database library that returns query results as SmartArrays of SmartStrings, so fields arrive HTML-safe.
