Installation

You can install this package using Composer, a popular PHP package manager:

composer require hilalahmad/php-uuid

Generating a UUID

To generate a new UUID, use the following code:

use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;

$uuid = UUID::generate();
echo $uuid;

Generating a UUID1

To generate a new UUID, use the following code:

use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;

$uuid = UUID::uuid1();
echo $uuid;

Generating a UUID2

To generate a new UUID, use the following code:

use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;

$uuid = UUID::uuid2();

echo $uuid;

Parsing a UUID

You can parse an existing UUID from a string:

use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;
$uuidString = "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000";

$uuid = UUID::parseUuid($uuidString);
print_r($uuid);

Checking UUID Validity

You can check the validity of a UUID:

use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;
$uuidString = "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000";

$uuid = UUID::isValidUuid($uuidString);
if($uuid){
  echo " it is valid uuid";
}else{
  echo "it is not valid";
}

Converting UUID to String

You can convert a UUID object to a string:

use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;
$uuid = "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000";

$uuid = UUID::uuidToString($uuidString);
echo $uuid;

Comparing UUIDs

You can compare two UUIDs for equality:

use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;

$uuid1 = '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000';
$uuid2 = '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001';

$uuid = UUID::compareUuids($uuid1,$uuid2);
if($uuid < 0){
  echo "less then one";
}
