module std

The THP standard library

This module contains many functions, classes, constant & enums commonly used in THP programs. These can be used directly, without having to import them.

This module is not a 1:1 map of the global PHP scope. Instead, this module contains all those members organized into classes, objects or other modules.

For example, to find if a string contains another, in PHP you'd do:

<?php
if (str_contains("abc", "a")) {
    // ...
}

In THP there is no str_contains function. Instead, you'd call the contains method on the string:

<Code thpcode={if "abc".contains("a") { // ... }} />

On naming

THP enforces snake_case for variables/functions. However, PHP has a mixture of snake_case and camelCase in its names. Where PHP would use camelCase, THP uses snake_case.

For example, the function PDO::errorCode() becomes PDO::error_code().

Furthermore, letter case in THP carries semantic meaning. Variables must start with either lowercase or underscore, and Datatypes must start with uppercase.

Those have been changed where neccesary.

Interop with lowercase classes

If you need to use a PHP class with a lowercase name you can use the following syntax:

<?php
class animal {}

<Code thpcode={val my_animal = 'animal()} />
