Source

This is the main source of the Javascript version of PHP's chr

function chr( codePt ) {
    // http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
    // +   original by: Kevin van Zonneveld (http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net)
    // *     example 1: chr(75);
    // *     returns 1: 'K'
    // *     example 1: chr(65536) === '\uD800\uDC00';
    // *     returns 1: true
    
    if (codePt > 0xFFFF) { // Create a four-byte string (length 2) since this code point is high
                                             //   enough for the UTF-16 encoding (JavaScript internal use), to
                                             //   require representation with two surrogates (reserved non-characters
                                             //   used for building other characters; the first is "high" and the next "low")
        codePt -= 0x10000;
        return String.fromCharCode(0xD800 + (codePt >> 10), 0xDC00 + (codePt & 0x3FF));
    }
    else {
        return String.fromCharCode(codePt);

Coming Project features

Project features that we are currently working on:

• Done - Site. A place for php.js of it's own. See: phpjs.org.
• Done - Compile. Compile your own php.js version, with only the functions you need. Should generate a hash with which you can retrieve latest versions of your php.js combination.
Done - Testsuite. A better test-suite that can be ran locally so developers can easily test before commiting. Also the testing itself should be more thorough.
• Done - Versioning. Individual functions are versioned, but the entire library should be versioned as well.
