php-toolkit/pflag is a general command line flag (option and parameter) parsing library written in PHP.

Github repository: php-toolkit/pflag(https://github.com/php-toolkit/pflag)

Function Description

  • Common command line options and parameter parser
  • Supports setting value data types (int, string, bool, array), and the input value will be automatically formatted
  • Support setting default values ​​for options/parameters
  • Support setting multiple short names for one option
  • Support reading flag values ​​from environment variables
  • Support Set options/parameters as required (required)
  • Support setting validators to check input values
  • Support automatic rendering of beautiful help information.

Command line options:

  • Options starting with - or --, and The first character must be the letters
  • . Those starting with -- are long options. eg: --long --long value
  • Those starting with - are short options-s -a value
  • Supports defining array options
    • eg: -- tag php --tag go will get $tag = [php, go]

Command line parameters :

  • Anything that does not satisfy the options is recognized as a parameter
  • Supports binding named parameters
  • Supports defining array parameters

Installation

composer Installation

composer require toolkit/pflag

Flags Use

Flags - is a command line flag (options and arguments) Parsers and managers.

For sample code, please see example/Do you know about this PHP command line option parsing library (pflag)?.php

Create and initialize parser

use Toolkit\PFlag\Flags;require dirname(__DIR__) . '/test/bootstrap.php';$flags = $_SERVER['argv'];// NOTICE: must shift first element.$scriptFile = array_shift($flags);$fs = Flags::new();// (可选的)可以添加一些自定义设置$fs->setScriptFile($scriptFile);/** @see Flags::$settings */$fs->setSettings([
    'descNlOnOptLen' => 26]);// ...
Copy after login
Define options - Define the supported option settings, and the input will be parsed according to the definition during parsing

Example of adding option definition :

use Toolkit\PFlag\Flag\Option;use Toolkit\PFlag\FlagType;use Toolkit\PFlag\Validator\EnumValidator;// add options// - quick add$fs->addOpt('age', 'a', 'this is a int option', FlagType::INT);// - 使用字符串规则快速添加选项定义$fs->addOptByRule('name,n', 'string;this is a string option;true');// -- 一次添加多个选项$fs->addOptsByRules([
    'tag,t' => 'strings;array option, allow set multi times',
    'f'     => 'bool;this is an bool option',]);// - 使用数组定义/** @see Flags::DEFINE_ITEM for array rule */$fs->addOptByRule('name-is-very-lang', [
    'type'   => FlagType::STRING,
    'desc'   => 'option name is to lang, desc will print on newline',
    'shorts' => ['d','e','f'],
    // TIP: add validator limit input value.
    'validator' => EnumValidator::new(['one', 'two', 'three']),]);// - 使用 Option 对象$opt = Option::new('str1', "this is  string option, \ndesc has multi line, \nhaha...");$opt->setDefault('defVal');$fs->addOption($opt);
Copy after login
Define parameters - Define the supported option settings, and the input will be parsed according to the definition during parsing

Add parameter definition Example:

use Toolkit\PFlag\Flag\Argument;use Toolkit\PFlag\FlagType;// add arguments// - quick add$fs->addArg('strArg1', 'the is string arg and is required', 'string', true);// - 使用字符串规则快速添加定义$fs->addArgByRule('intArg2', 'int;this is a int arg and with default value;no;89');// - 使用 Argument 对象$arg = Argument::new('arrArg');// OR $arg->setType(FlagType::ARRAY);$arg->setType(FlagType::STRINGS);$arg->setDesc("this is an array arg,\n allow multi value,\n must define at last");$fs->addArgument($arg);
Copy after login
Finally call

parse() Parse command line input data

// ...if (!$fs->parse($flags)) {
    // on render help
    return;}vdump($fs->getOpts(), $fs->getArgs());
Copy after login

Show help

When you enter

-h or --help, help information will be automatically rendered.

$ php example/Do you know about this PHP command line option parsing library (pflag)?.php --help
Copy after login
Output:

Do you know about this PHP command line option parsing library (pflag)?

Run the example:

$ php example/Do you know about this PHP command line option parsing library (pflag)?.php --name inhere --age 99 --tag go -t php -t java -d one -f arg0 80 arr0 arr1
Copy after login
Output result:

# 选项数据array(6) {
  ["str1"]=> string(6) "defVal"
  ["name"]=> string(6) "inhere"
  ["age"]=> int(99)
  ["tag"]=> array(3) {
    [0]=> string(2) "go"
    [1]=> string(3) "php"
    [2]=> string(4) "java"
  }
  ["name-is-very-lang"]=> string(3) "one"
  ["f"]=> bool(true)}# 参数数据 
array(3) {
  [0]=> string(4) "arg0"
  [1]=> int(80)
  [2]=> array(2) {
    [0]=> string(4) "arr0"
    [1]=> string(4) "arr1"
  }}
Copy after login

Getting the flag value is very simple. The method is

getOpt(string $name) getArg($nameOrIndex) That is Yes.

TIP: Input values ​​will be automatically formatted by the defined data type

Option data

$force = $fs->getOpt('f'); // bool(true)$age  = $fs->getOpt('age'); // int(99)$name = $fs->getOpt('name'); // string(inhere)$tags = $fs->getOpt('tags'); // array{"php", "go", "java"}
Copy after login

Parameter data

$arg0 = $fs->getArg(0); // string(arg0)// get an array arg$arrArg = $fs->getArg(1); // array{"arr0", "arr1"}// get value by name$arrArg = $fs->getArg('arrArg'); // array{"arr0", "arr1"}
Copy after login

Option parameter rules. Use rules to quickly define an option or parameter. [Recommended:

PHP Video Tutorial]

    string String rules use semicolons
  • ; to separate each part (full rule: type;desc ;required;default;shorts).
  • array rules are set according to
  • SFlags::DEFINE_ITEM. For the supported type constants, please see FlagType:: *
  • <div class="code" style="position:relative; padding:0px; margin:0px;"><pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">use Toolkit\PFlag\FlagType;$rules = [      // v: 只有值,作为名称并使用默认类型 FlagType::STRING      // k-v: 键是名称,值可以是字符串|数组      'long,s',      // name =&gt; rule      'long,a,b' =&gt; 'int;an int option', // long is option name, a and b is shorts.      'f'      =&gt; FlagType::BOOL,      'str1'   =&gt; ['type' =&gt; 'int', 'desc' =&gt; 'an string option'],      'tags'   =&gt; 'array; an array option', // can also: ints, strings      'name'   =&gt; 'type;the description message;required;default', // with desc, default, required]</pre><div class="contentsignin">Copy after login</div></div>
  • For options

options allow setting short names

shorts
  • TIP: For example,
long,a,b
-

long is the option name. The remaining a,b are its short option names.

For parameters

The parameters have no aliases or short names

    Array parameters are only allowed to be defined at the end
  • Array definition items

ConstantFlags::DEFINE_ITEM

:

public const DEFINE_ITEM = [
    'name'      => '',
    'desc'      => '',
    'type'      => FlagType::STRING,
    'helpType'  => '', // use for render help
    // 'index'    => 0, // only for argument
    'required'  => false,

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,
