Hebrev() Function in PHP 8.2, PHP 8.3 & PHP 8.4


The `hebrev()` function in PHP is used to convert logical Hebrew text to visual text (right-to-left display). This function is particularly useful when you need to display Hebrew text correctly in a left-to-right environment.PHP 8.PHP 8.1,PHP 8.2,PHP 8.3,and PHP 8.4.Syntax
<?phphebrev(string $string, int $max_chars_per_line = 0): string?>
Return ValueReturns the visual string.Example in PHP 8.2
<?php$hebrew_text = "???? ????"; // "Hello world" in Hebrew (logical order)$visual_text = hebrev($hebrew_text);echo $visual_text; // Will display correctly in left-to-right context?>
Notes1. Hebrew is written right-to-left, but stored in logical order in strings.2. For modern web development, it's often better to use CSS (`direction: rtl`) for Hebrew text display.3. The function also converts newlines (`\n`) to `<br>\n`.4. PHP 8.2 maintains backward compatibility with this function, though its usage has decreased with modern web standards.For more complex Hebrew text handling, consider using the `mbstring` extension with proper right-to-left text support.
