I love PHP, but when it comes to consistency, it sucks very very very hard.

I’m tired of going to the (very very good) php.net site to check functions arguments and order and such, so now, all what I usually check will be here.
Nothing here is « complete ». My goal isn’t to make a doc, but a reminder of what I use.

Order of arguments in string/array functions

strpos ( $content , $search );
str_replace ( $search, $replace, $content );
 
array_search ( $search, $array);
in_array ( $search, $array);

.

Beloved classic flags

Flags I use all the time and won’t learn by heart.

preg_split ( $pattern, $content , -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
file ( $filename, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES );

.

The table of ob_start() (output buffering) related functions !

ob_get_contents() should be named ob_get(). But you know… php and naming conventions…. T_T
