How to use

use info\synapp\tools\uuid\UUID;

require_once 'vendor/elcodedocle/uuid/uuid.php';

//Named-based UUID:
$v3uuid = UUID::v3(UUID::v4(), 'BlahBlahSomeRandomStringBlergBlorg');
$v5uuid = UUID::v5(UUID::v4(), 'BlahBlahSomeRandomStringBlergBlorg');

//Pseudo-random UUID:
$v4uuid = UUID::v4();

echo 'UUIDv3: '.$v3uuid."\n".'UUIDv4: '.$v4uuid."\n".'UUIDv5: '.$v5uuid."\n";

Motivation

I needed a UUID generator I could import as a dependency on my projects, so I took the one from the PHP manual, added a composer.json and this README.md and uploaded it to this repo.

Acks

• The OSF, for developing the UUID standards

• Andrew Moore, the class author (obviously)

• The PHP Documentation Group

Enjoy!
