This is the PHP port of Hamcrest Matchers
=========================================
[](https://travis-ci.org/hamcrest/hamcrest-php)
Hamcrest is a matching library originally written for Java, but
subsequently ported to many other languages. hamcrest-php is the
official PHP port of Hamcrest and essentially follows a literal
translation of the original Java API for Hamcrest, with a few
Exceptions, mostly down to PHP language barriers:
1. `instanceOf($theClass)` is actually `anInstanceOf($theClass)`
2. `both(containsString('a'))->and(containsString('b'))`
is actually `both(containsString('a'))->andAlso(containsString('b'))`
3. `either(containsString('a'))->or(containsString('b'))`
is actually `either(containsString('a'))->orElse(containsString('b'))`
4. Unless it would be non-semantic for a matcher to do so, hamcrest-php
allows dynamic typing for it's input, in "the PHP way". Exception are
where semantics surrounding the type itself would suggest otherwise,
such as stringContains() and greaterThan().
5. Several official matchers have not been ported because they don't
make sense or don't apply in PHP:
- `typeCompatibleWith($theClass)`
- `eventFrom($source)`
- `hasProperty($name)` **
- `samePropertyValuesAs($obj)` **
6. When most of the collections matchers are finally ported, PHP-specific
aliases will probably be created due to a difference in naming
conventions between Java's Arrays, Collections, Sets and Maps compared
with PHP's Arrays.

** [Unless we consider POPO's (Plain Old PHP Objects) akin to JavaBeans]
- The POPO thing is a joke. Java devs coin the term POJO's (Plain Old
Java Objects).
Usage
-----
Hamcrest matchers are easy to use as:
```php
Hamcrest_MatcherAssert::assertThat('a', Hamcrest_Matchers::equalToIgnoringCase('A'));
```
Alternatively, you can use the global proxy-functions:
```php
$result = true;
// with an identifier
assertThat("result should be true", $result, equalTo(true));
// without an identifier
assertThat($result, equalTo(true));
// evaluate a boolean expression
assertThat($result === true);
// with syntactic sugar is()
assertThat(true, is(true));
```
:warning: **NOTE:** the global proxy-functions aren't autoloaded by default, so you will need to load them first:
```php
\Hamcrest\Util::registerGlobalFunctions();
```
For brevity, all of the examples below use the proxy-functions.

```
* `describedAs` - Wraps an existing matcher and overrides the description when it fails.
```php
$expected = "Dog";
$found = null;
// this assertion would result error message as Expected: is not null but: was null
//assertThat("Expected {$expected}, got {$found}", $found, is(notNullValue()));
// and this assertion would result error message as Expected: Dog but: was null
//assertThat($found, describedAs($expected, notNullValue()));
```

```php
assertThat([2, 4, 6], everyItem(notNullValue()));

Enhancing Payment Security: The Role of Encryption and Tokenization in Digital Transactions
As digital transactions proliferate, ensuring robust payment security is more critical than ever. Two foundational technologies that are pivotal in this effort are encryption and tokenization. Encryption is a process that transforms data into a secure format, known as ciphertext, which can only be deciphered using a specific decryption key. This means that even if data is intercepted during transmission, it remains unreadable and protected from unauthorized access. Encryption is essential in safeguarding sensitive payment information, such as credit card details and personal data, during online transactions. Tokenization, on the other hand, involves substituting sensitive data with unique identifiers or "tokens." These tokens serve as placeholders and have no value outside of the specific transaction context. If intercepted, tokens are meaningless and cannot be used to access the original sensitive data. This method significantly reduces the risk of fraud and data breaches, as the actual payment information is not stored or transmitted. Together, encryption and tokenization form a powerful security framework. Encryption ensures that data is protected during transmission, while tokenization minimizes the risk of exposing sensitive information by replacing it with secure, non-sensitive tokens. These technologies are integral to modern payment platforms, providing a robust defense against cyber threats. By implementing advanced encryption and tokenization techniques, businesses can enhance the security of digital transactions, ensuring that users' financial and personal information remains safe. This comprehensive approach not only builds user trust but also fortifies the overall security infrastructure of digital payment systems. As cyber threats evolve, the continued advancement of encryption and tokenization will be crucial in maintaining secure and reliable payment processes.
