16.13. Function Reference

The rest of this chapter provides an alphabetical summary of the functions that are available in PHP. The synopsis for each function lists the expected argument types for the function, its return type, and the version of PHP in which the function was introduced. The possible types are int, double, string, array, void, and mixed. mixed means that the argument or return type can be of any type. Optional arguments are shown in square brackets. Note that PHP didn't start tracking version numbers for functions until PHP 3.0, so functions that are listed as 3.0 are likely to have existed in Version 2.x.

If your favorite functions were left out, please don't take it personally. I had a lot of tough choices to make. One of the hardest was DomXML. At 114 functions, the DomXML extension is huge and there just wasn't room. Leaving out the cool Ming functions was difficult as well. Please do check out the online manual at http://www.php.net/manual for more on both of these extensions and also all the others you see listed here.
