asmith Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey Some functions that maybe look like each other, has different place of arguments. for example : in_array("find",$array) . find is first, the array is second. strpos ($string, "find") , find is last, string is first. I remember after a while, I gotta check them in php.net which is which. any logic behind these places of arguments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've read quite a few complaints all over the net about function arguments not being ordered consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerRobot Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That's one of the reasons that a decent IDE helps so much; shows you the function prototype as you type the function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That's one of the reasons that a decent IDE helps so much; shows you the function prototype as you type the function Indeed. I know its not exactly an IDE but I wish vim could do this. The best Iv'e got is to hold CTRL-1 whilst over a function name and have a shell script lookup the function in the manual for me.

Mchl Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That's one of the annoying features of PHP. (An)other one is inconsistent function naming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
