Introducing The Article Class

Posted on Sunday 7th October 2018

What does Article Do?

It accesses files such as markdown files within a predefined directory, gets the content and other information and returns it back to the user with simple to use functions.

• Lists Articles
• Search Articles
• Load By Filename
• Load By Name
• Can specify what extensions to work with.

The intent of this class is to be used in several projects which access articles, allowing the functionality to be quickly added rather than recreated each time.

Some Example Uses

• Blog
• Wiki

Usage

List / Search

use CPS\Article;

$dir = "./where/your/files/are";
$article = new Article($dir);
$results = $article->list("your term here");

Load (By Name or Filename);

use CPS\Article;

$dir = "./where/your/files/are";
$article = new Article($dir);
$results = $article->load("Article Name");
