A human name parser written in PHP.

Based on Josh Fraser's PHP-Name-Parser. I attempted to rewrite the library to be more easily understandable (at least to myself). Nearly all the original features are maintained.

The algorithm first sanitizes a name string, and then breaks it into smaller pieces using a library of professional titles and suffixes.

Installation

Include in your project, or, install with Composer:

$ composer require chrisullyott/human-name-parser

Parsing a name

use ChrisUllyott\HumanNameParser;

$parser = new HumanNameParser('Dr. martin luther king jr');
print_r($parser->parse());
Array
(
    [full]       => Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
    [salutation] => Dr.
    [first]      => Martin
    [middle]     => Luther
    [last]       => King
    [suffix]     => Jr.
)
