SRL-PHP is a PHP library implementing the Simple Regex Language (SRL), letting developers write readable, maintainable regex via a fluent query builder or a plain-language DSL. It compiles SRL queries into standard regular expressions.

Use cases

• build regex without writing cryptic patterns
• make regular expressions readable and maintainable in PHP
• construct regex with a fluent query builder
• parse Simple Regex Language strings into PCRE
• validate emails or other formats with readable patterns

When to choose

• you write or maintain regex in PHP and want readability over brevity
• you want to avoid escaping mistakes in complex patterns
• you prefer a DSL or builder API over raw regex syntax

When to avoid

• you need maximum regex performance or exotic PCRE features
• your team already knows regex well and patterns are simple
• you work outside the PHP ecosystem
