Object oriented strings / numbers in PHP?

Question

I looked at Ruby and it has a very good OO structure, unlike PHP with C-like string functions. I was wondering if there is an extension that makes strings into objects so you can use them like this:

$str = "sometext";
echo "len:" . $str->length; //would print 'len: 8'

Answer 1

Take a look at this ...

http://code.google.com/p/php-string/downloads/detail?name=string.php&can=2&q=

mbstring iconv PHP-UTF8. . , . : substringBetween, , startWith, endWith . PHP .

:

<?php

include('string.php');

$str = new String('sometext');
echo $str->length; //prints 8
echo $str->getLength(); //prints 8

?>
