Most common PHP functions

[ToddW]

What are the most common php functions you use?

Or, what are the most common php code you use? For example, loops, if statements etc.

If you use dreamweaver what do you keep in "snippets" because you use them a lot?

sorry but EW YUCK

most common ones I use?

str_replace
strpos
strip_tags


most common loops? it's a toss up between while and foreach ... both for good reasons:

while($row = $db_obj->getRows()) {
  
  } 

and

foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
  
  } 

And as far as 'snippets' .. don't use them. I build objects that do one job and do it well so I can re-use them over and over

What's so EWW Yuck, about dreamweaver?

Split and trim would have to be the functions I use the most!

echo and var_dump perhaps.

echo and var_dump perhaps.

echo isn't a function tho :P

Anyways

header('content-type: text/plain'); 

Is atop a least 99% of all my php files running around on my development server. So I say i use that the most.

Kailash, i have another one print_r() too.
And other than the functions of PHP the word "test" is my regular word that I use more frequently. Lol!

lol, logic earth! I didn't know you were that finicky
Yeah that little PHP language construct has been very handy though, my lord!

<?php
if(preg_match('/win/i', PHP_OS))
    $cmd = "dir /b/s *.php";
else
    $cmd = "find -name *.php";

$funcs = array_merge(
    reset(get_defined_functions()),
    explode(",", "array,list,echo,print,unset,isset,empty,include,include_once,require,require_once")
);

$files = explode("\n", trim(`$cmd`));
foreach($files as $file) {
    preg_match_all("~(\w+)\s*\(~", file_get_contents($file), $m);
    $counts = array_count_values($m[1]);
    foreach(array_intersect($funcs, $m[1]) as $funcname)
        @$calls[$funcname] += $counts[$funcname];
}

$fmt = "%25s %5d\n";

printf($fmt, "FILES", count($files));
printf($fmt, "CALLS", array_sum($calls));

arsort($calls);
foreach($calls as $func => $cnt)
    printf($fmt, $func, $cnt);
