Output seconds as human-readable string

echo \Echron\Tools\Time::readableSeconds(60 * 24);
>> 24 minutes
echo \Echron\Tools\Time::readableSeconds(60 + 3.4221580028534);
>> 1 minute, 3.42 seconds

Check if array has duplicates

$a = \Echron\Tools\ArrayHelper::hasDuplicates(['red', 'green', 'purple']);
print_r($a);
>> false

$b = \Echron\Tools\ArrayHelper::hasDuplicates(['red', 'green', 'purple','red]);
print_r($b);
>> true

Filter array by unique values

$a = \Echron\Tools\ArrayHelper::unique(['red', 'green', 'purple'],['orange','red']);

$a = \Echron\Tools\StringHelper::limitWords('This is a basic string', 20);
print_r($a);

It is possible to pass along an end marker that will be added to the endof the string when the string is truncated. The end marker is included in the maximum character string, the result will not be longer than the maximum characters even when the end marker is added.

$result = \Echron\Tools\StringHelper::limitWords('This is a basic string', 20, ' ...');
print_r($result);
>> "This is a basic ..."
