Have you ever confused the php functions syntaxes?

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?

I've read quite a few complaints all over the net about function arguments not being ordered consistently.

That must make me feel better

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.

That's one of the annoying features of PHP. (An)other one is inconsistent function naming.
