Functions

between()

Encapsulates an expression between specific characters.

between([mixed $expression = null ][, string $left = '' ][, string|null $right = null ][, bool $flag = true ][, string $separator = ' ' ][, bool $trim = true ]) : string

Wraps the expression with $left and $right.

Handles arrays by joining their values with $separator. Leading/trailing $left or $right characters are trimmed to avoid duplication.

  • If $expression is an array, its values are concatenated with $separator.
  • If $right is null, it defaults to the value of $left.
  • If $flag is false, no wrapping is applied.
Parameters
$expression : mixed = null

The expression to encapsulate (string, array, or any type convertible to string).

$left : string = ''

The left string to prepend.

$right : string|null = null

The right string to append. Defaults to $left if null.

$flag : bool = true

Whether to apply the wrapping (default: true).

$separator : string = ' '

Separator used when joining array values (default: space).

$trim : bool = true

Whether to trim existing $left/$right characters (default: true).
