The PHP Function List

Post by impulse() »

To well experienced PHP coders: Do you have experience in most of the function list? Is the whole list something you ever learn or are you always checking through the list to see what could come in handy for parts of your code?

Other than feyd :wink: I don't thing anybody really knows all the functions. What is important is you know roughly where to find it in online manual. If not that's what this board is for. I know of a couple of occasions where the thread has been... Can't remember this function to ....

There are a lot of functions which are never used. After all why learn postgres functions when you only ever deal with mysql. When you do need postgres it's easy enough to look them up and learn them.

Saying that it is important to know good programming techniques and things like enhancing security.

I reckon I've used, or just experimented with, all the basic PHP functions, all the GD functions, all the MySQL functions, all the curl functions and a fairly large number of the postgreSQL, Imap, and XML functions. I don't really think it'd be likely that anyone would have experience of them all .. some are really obscure.
