regexify()

Transforms a basic regular expression into a random string satisfying the expression.

shuffle()

Returns a shuffled version of the argument.


    public
            static    shuffle([array<string|int, mixed>|string $arg = '' ]) : array<string|int, mixed>|string

This function accepts either an array, or a string.

Parameters

$arg : array<string|int, mixed>|string = '': The set to shuffle

Return values

array<string|int, mixed>|string —

The shuffled set

shuffleArray()

Returns a shuffled version of the array.


    public
            static    shuffleArray([array<string|int, mixed> $array = [] ]) : array<string|int, mixed>

This function does not mutate the original array. It uses the Fisher–Yates algorithm, which is unbiased, together with a Mersenne twister random generator. This function is therefore more random than PHP's shuffle() function, and it is seedable.

Parameters

$array : array<string|int, mixed> = []: The set to shuffle

Return values

array<string|int, mixed> —

The shuffled set

shuffleString()

Returns a shuffled version of the string.


    public
            static    shuffleString([string $string = '' ][, string $encoding = 'UTF-8' ]) : string

This function does not mutate the original string. It uses the Fisher–Yates algorithm, which is unbiased, together with a Mersenne twister random generator. This function is therefore more random than PHP's shuffle() function, and it is seedable. Additionally, it is UTF8 safe if the mb extension is available.

Parameters

$string : string = '': The set to shuffle
$encoding : string = 'UTF-8': The string encoding (defaults to UTF-8)

Return values

string —

The shuffled set

toLower()

Converts string to lowercase.

toUpper()

Converts string to uppercase.


    public
            static    toUpper([string $string = '' ]) : string

Uses mb_string extension if available.

Chainable method for making any formatter unique.


    public
                unique([bool $reset = false ][, int $maxRetries = 10000 ]) : UniqueGenerator


// will never return twice the same value
$faker->unique()->randomElement(array(1, 2, 3));

Parameters

$reset : bool = false: If set to true, resets the list of existing values
$maxRetries : int = 10000: Maximum number of retries to find a unique value, After which an OverflowException is thrown.

Return values

UniqueGenerator —

A proxy class returning only non-existing values

valid()

Chainable method for forcing any formatter to return only valid values.


    public
                valid([Closure $validator = null ][, int $maxRetries = 10000 ]) : ValidGenerator

The value validity is determined by a function passed as first argument.


$values = array();
$evenValidator = function ($digit) {
  return $digit % 2 === 0;
};
for ($i=0; $i < 10; $i++) {
  $values []= $faker->valid($evenValidator)->randomDigit;
}
print_r($values); // [0, 4, 8, 4, 2, 6, 0, 8, 8, 6]

Parameters

$validator : Closure = null: A function returning true for valid values
$maxRetries : int = 10000: Maximum number of retries to find a unique value, After which an OverflowException is thrown.
