regexify()

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

public static regexify([string $regex = '' ]) : string
Parameters
$regex : string = ''

A regular expression (delimiters are optional)

Tags
example

$faker->regexify('[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+.[A-Z]{2,4}'); // sm0@y8k96a.ej

Regex delimiters '/.../' and begin/end markers '^...$' are ignored.

Only supports a small subset of the regex syntax. For instance, unicode, negated classes, unbounded ranges, subpatterns, back references, assertions, recursive patterns, and comments are not supported. Escaping support is extremely fragile.

This method is also VERY slow. Use it only when no other formatter can generate the fake data you want. For instance, prefer calling $faker->email rather than regexify with the previous regular expression.

Also note than bothify can probably do most of what this method does, but much faster. For instance, for a dummy email generation, try $faker->bothify('?????????@???.???').

Return values
string

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

Tags
example

$faker->shuffle([1, 2, 3]); // [2, 1, 3]

example

$faker->shuffle('hello, world'); // 'rlo,h eold!lw'

see
shuffleArray()
see
shuffleString()
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

Tags
see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher%E2%80%93Yates_shuffle
example

$faker->shuffleArray([1, 2, 3]); // [2, 1, 3]

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)

Tags
see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher%E2%80%93Yates_shuffle

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]
