1.2.1520. ext/gender

Gender extension.

The Gender PHP extension is a port of the gender.c program originally written by Joerg Michael. Its main purpose is to find out the gender of firstnames, based on a database of over 40000 firstnames from 54 countries.

<?php

namespace Gender;

$gender = new Gender;


$name = 'Milene';
$country = Gender::FRANCE;

$result = $gender->get($name, $country);

$data = $gender->country($country);

switch($result) {
    case Gender::IS_FEMALE:
        printf('The name %s is female in %s\n', $name, $data['country']);
    break;


    case Gender::IS_MOSTLY_FEMALE:
        printf('The name %s is mostly female in %s\n', $name, $data['country']);
    break;


    case Gender::IS_MALE:
        printf('The name %s is male in %s\n', $name, $data['country']);
    break;


    case Gender::IS_MOSTLY_MALE:
        printf('The name %s is mostly male in %s\n', $name, $data['country']);
    break;


    case Gender::IS_UNISEX_NAME:
        printf('The name %s is unisex in %s\n', $name, $data['country']);
    break;


    case Gender::IS_A_COUPLE:
        printf('The name %s is both male and female in %s\n', $name, $data['country']);
    break;


    case Gender::NAME_NOT_FOUND:
        printf('The name %s was not found for %s\n', $name, $data['country']);
    break;


    case Gender::ERROR_IN_NAME:
        echo 'There is an error in the given name!'.PHP_EOL;
    break;

    default:
        echo 'An error occurred!'.PHP_EOL;
    break;

}

?>
