---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Example 1
   
    An example of how to apply a functions to the string that does and does not
    require additional parameters.
   
    The code of this example is result-equivalent to both of the following:
   
    #1
    $myString = "a <b>lovely</b> string <a href='#'>here</a>";
    $myString = htmlspecialchars($myString);
    $myString = str_replace("lovely", "beloved", $myString);
    echo $myString;
   
    #2
    $myString = "a <b>lovely</b> string <a href='#'>here</a>";
    echo str_replace("lovely", "beloved", htmlspecialchars($myString));
*/

$myString = "a <b>lovely</b> string <a href='#'>here</a>";

$chain = new Chaining($myString);
$chain->add("htmlspecialchars")
      ->
add("str_replace", array("lovely", "beloved", $chain->me()) );

echo
$chain->getObject(); // getObject() and me() are completely equivalent

/* Output
    a <b>beloved</b> string <a href='#'>here</a>
*/


/*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Example 2
   
    An example of how to use custom functions with Chaining methods.
    It is just the same as using predefined functions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Example 3
   
    An attempt to imitate somewhat real life situation where data from some kind
    of database is formatted before being print.
   
    Effect: functions htmlspecialchars and ucwords are applied to every string before printing,
    without htmlspecialchars function a simple html code could be inserted into messages
    resulting in redirect.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Example 4
   
    Using array as a working variable.
    Chaining method works just fine with arrays too.
    The interesting thing in this example is that we used array as an input,
    but received formatted string as s result.
   
    Effect: Uppercase the first word letters in the array variables and merges them
    using "," as separator. Appends a "." symbol at the end.
   
    Array map has prototype: array_map(myfunction, array), therefore we pass these
    variables in using a second parameter for add function:
        add("array_map", array("ucwords", $chain->me()) )
       
    $chain->me() contains the array we are working with.

      ->
stringAppend(".");

echo
$chain->me();

/* Output

    Name Surname, Augustinas Malinauskas, Paul Gilbert.
