Simple Key-Value Storage for PHP.

Packer aims to be a zero-config, zero-install and works as PHP works library that developers can quickly pull into their project for use immediately for small and medium scaling usage.

To use Packer in your project, add a dependency to mauris/packer in your project's composer.json file. The following is a minimal sample configuration to use Packer in your project.

{
    "require": {
        "mauris/packer": "1.0"
    }
}

After which run the command:

php composer.phar install

Once you have installed Packer as your project's dependencies using Composer, you can use the Packer class directly in your code.

To work with a Packer file, you create an instance of Packer like this:

$packer = new Packer\Packer('config.pack');

To write a key and value entry to the Packer file, simply use the write($key, $value) method like this:

$packer->write('autorun', false);

To fetch a value from a Packer file, use the read($key) method.

$autorun = $packer->read('autorun');

To delete a value from the Packer file:

$packer->delete('autorun');
// $packer->exist('autorun') === false

To iterate through the Packer file, you can fetch the keys using the keys() method:

echo '<ul>';
foreach($packer->keys() as $key){
    echo '<li>' . $packer->read($key) . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';

To remove all entries from the Packer file:

$packer->clear();
