PHP API?

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for. there's e.g. the sapi (server application programming interface)

I think you're just looking for the manual?

Eh... i am not sure also.
I was thinking if there is a guide for PHP to certain keywords.
For example when i don understand what is

session_start();
$_SESSION['manual'] = "yes";

then i look up the guide (is it call API?) then it will show a description of the session_start() and state what does $_SESSION[''] means.

Because i am doing a final year project in my polytechnic but was assigned to do a networking project that is totally not related to my specialisation (Interactive Media) so i was at a blur. I need to further edit the current project that has been done by the previous student.

I am new to PHP so when i look at the codes i got a lot of question marks here and there.
Sorry for the trouble if there is any.

If you go to php.net and type any function name in the search box at the top you'll get the function synopsis for it ;)
