phpgex

This is a pure and beautiful PHP library implementation for common regex patterns. It's designed with ease of operation, and user-friendly experience. This library will allow you to quickly match some of the contributed patterns. The code is inspired by Laravel framework and the Validator API that Laravel offers. In quite similar approach, this library will be updated reguralry with new, fixed and improved patterns. This library is also inspired (but not limited) by PHPVerbalExpression, SRL and many other.
