Some applications need to use text that must use only ASCII characters, thus not have any letters with accents or cedillas for instance.
This package can manipulate text strings with any text so it can convert them to ASCII based text without any PHP extensions, like mb_string or iconv.

Updated on: 2019-10-17
Posted on: 2019-10-17
Chaining is an approach used by many developers to make a sequence of calls to the functions of the same object by returning the object again to the next function call, so the developer has to write less code to call all the functions in a sequence.
The problem of this approach is that if one of the function calls fails, it may not return the object, thus breaking the sequence.
This package provides a workaround this problem by wrapping the function calls in a "box" class that can queue the function calls and call one function after another, unless one function fails.

Updated on: 2019-10-15
Posted on: 2019-10-15
Curl is a popular PHP extension that can send HTTP requests to many servers at the same time and collect all the responses after all servers handled the HTTP requests.
This class implements a solution that not only takes advantage of sending multiple HTTP requests to remote servers, but also can use a pool of proxy servers to access the remote servers, hopefully to avoid remote server throttling when that server slows down handling many requests being sent at once from the same origin IP address.

Updated on: 2019-10-14
Posted on: 2019-10-14
HTTP requests need to have a response that uses status codes to let browsers or HTTP clients know if a request was handled successfully or some other outcome has happened.
HTTP status codes are numbers, which are usually not human friendly because they do not mean anything unless the developer looks up or remembers their meaning of all the HTTP status codes that you use in an application.
This class provides a more human friendly solution to issue HTTP status codes that consists in passing just the text message of the HTTP status, so the class automatically determines the HTTP status code numbers.

Posted on: 2019-10-10
Many sites are under attack from computers that use the Internet to take advantage of the site resources for unintended purposes.
Some attacks can come from computers located in known networks or computers from IP addresses that are known to be controlled by some kind of harmful software that accesses sites with bad intentions.
This package can compute the CIDR of a given IP address to and lockup on files with CIDR signatures of known IP addresses that are bad sources of traffic, so applications can block or ignore accesses from that IP address.
