FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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 wildcards

Simple wildcard component (PHP 5.3+)

Build Status Scrutinizer Code Quality

This project aims to provide a dead simple component for php to support wildcards. Wildcards are * (zero or more character) and ? (exactly one character). The component is not tied to filenames. You can use it also for namespaces, urls and other strings.

Why can't you just provide a simple function for this?

Because of effectivity. When you create an instance of the Pattern-class, you also "compile" the pattern. This means that I try to find the optimal test method for your later input. So if you run the same pattern more often in the same run, you could benefit from that optimization. If not, the Interface should still be simple enough to make you happy. If not, go wrap a function around it.

Why not just use regular expressions?

Because there is no reason to use regular expressions for the most common figures:

string* means "starts with".
*string means "ends with".

So even if I use regular expressions to cover complex patterns, it is too pointless to use regular expressions for one of these. Internally I use substr() instead. If you like to provide more speedups for such simple patterns, feel free to push me some.
