PHP-Hooks
=========
The PHP Hooks Class is a fork of the WordPress filters hook system rolled in to a class to be ported into any php based system
* This class is heavily based on the WordPress plugin API and most (if not all) of the code comes from there.
Head Over to [http://bainternet.github.io/PHP-Hooks/][3] For more info
----------
How to Use?
=====
Simple, Include the class file in your application bootstrap (setup/load/configuration or whatever you call it) and start hooking your filter and action hooks using the global `$hooks`. Ex:
```PHP
include_once('php-hooks.php');
global $hooks;
$hooks->add_action('header_action','echo_this_in_header');
function echo_this_in_header(){
echo 'this came from a hooked function';
}
```
then all that is left for you is to call the hooked function when you want anywhere in your aplication, EX:
```PHP
echo '<div id="extra_header">';
global $hooks;
$hooks->do_action('header_action');
echo '</div>';
```
and you output will be:
```HTML
<div id="extra_header">this came from a hooked function</div>
```
Methods
=======
**ACTIONS:**
**add_action** Hooks a function on to a specific action.
- @access public
- @since 0.1
- @param string $tag The name of the action to which the $function_to_add is hooked.
- @param callback $function_to_add The name of the function you wish to be called.
- @param int $priority optional. Used to specify the order in which the functions associated with a particular action are executed (default: 10). Lower numbers correspond with earlier execution, and functions with the same priority are executed in the order in which they were added to the action.
- @param int $accepted_args optional. The number of arguments the function accept (default 1).
**do_action** Execute functions hooked on a specific action hook.
- @access public
- @since 0.1
- @param string $tag The name of the action to be executed.
- @param mixed $arg,... Optional additional arguments which are passed on to the functions hooked to the action.
- @return null Will return null if $tag does not exist
**remove_action** Removes a function from a specified action hook.
- @access public
- @since 0.1
- @param string $tag The action hook to which the function to be removed is hooked.
- @param callback $function_to_remove The name of the function which should be removed.
- @param int $priority optional The priority of the function (default: 10).
- @return boolean Whether the function is removed.
**has_action** Check if any action has been registered for a hook.
- @access public
- @since 0.1
- @param string $tag The name of the action hook.
- @param callback $function_to_check optional.
- @return mixed If $function_to_check is omitted, returns boolean for whether the hook has anything registered.
When checking a specific function, the priority of that hook is returned, or false if the function is not attached.
When using the $function_to_check argument, this function may return a non-boolean value that evaluates to false (e.g.) 0, so use the === operator for testing the return value.
**did_action** Retrieve the number of times an action is fired.
- @access public
- @since 0.1
- @param string $tag The name of the action hook.
- @return int The number of times action hook <tt>$tag</tt> is fired
**FILTERS:**
**add_filter** Hooks a function or method to a specific filter action.
- @access public
- @since 0.1
- @param string $tag The name of the filter to hook the $function_to_add to.
- @param callback $function_to_add The name of the function to be called when the filter is applied.
- @param int $priority optional. Used to specify the order in which the functions associated with a particular action are executed (default: 10). Lower numbers correspond with earlier execution, and functions with the same priority are executed in the order in which they were added to the action.
- @param int $accepted_args optional. The number of arguments the function accept (default 1).
- @return boolean true
**remove_filter** Removes a function from a specified filter hook.
- @access public
- @since 0.1
- @param string $tag The filter hook to which the function to be removed is hooked.
- @param callback $function_to_remove The name of the function which should be removed.
- @param int $priority optional. The priority of the function (default: 10).
- @param int $accepted_args optional. The number of arguments the function accepts (default: 1).
- @return boolean Whether the function existed before it was removed.
**has_filter** Check if any filter has been registered for a hook.
- @access public
- @since 0.1
- @param string $tag The name of the filter hook.
- @param callback $function_to_check optional.
- @return mixed If $function_to_check is omitted, returns boolean for whether the hook has anything registered.
When checking a specific function, the priority of that hook is returned, or false if the function is not attached.
When using the $function_to_check argument, this function may return a non-boolean value that evaluates to false (e.g.) 0, so use the === operator for testing the return value.
**apply_filters** Call the functions added to a filter hook.
- @access public
- @since 0.1
- @param string $tag The name of the filter hook.
- @param mixed $value The value on which the filters hooked to <tt>$tag</tt> are applied on.
- @param mixed $var,... Additional variables passed to the functions hooked to <tt>$tag</tt>.
