Buffer is a context-aware implementation of explode(), the string function from PHP.
Open up your terminal, cd to your project directory and type:
# run this command if you have Composer installed globally on your machine
composer require "ilya/buffer:~1"
# or run this command if you have it installed locally
php composer.phar require "ilya/buffer:~1"Press Enter and give Composer just a second to install the package as your project's dependency.
Let's get started by creating an instance of Buffer:
$buffer = new Buffer\Buffer('foo:"bar:baz":wow');Now, tell Buffer that the " character has a special meaning:
$buffer->beAwareOf("\"");Finally, split the string you've passed to the constructor by ::
$buffer->explode(':'); // => ['foo', 'bar:baz', 'wow']Alright, that's basically it.
