README
A human name parser written in PHP.
Based on Josh Fraser's PHP-Name-Parser. I attempted to rewrite the library to be more easily understandable (at least to myself). Nearly all the original features are maintained.
The algorithm first sanitizes a name string, and then breaks it into smaller pieces using a library of professional titles and suffixes.
Installation
Include in your project, or, install with Composer:
$ composer require chrisullyott/human-name-parser
Parsing a name
use ChrisUllyott\HumanNameParser; $parser = new HumanNameParser('Dr. martin luther king jr'); print_r($parser->parse());
Array
(
[full] => Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
[salutation] => Dr.
[first] => Martin
[middle] => Luther
[last] => King
[suffix] => Jr.
)
