 Now those some nice tiger scrolls! I think I might print out the MySQL one especially just so I can reference the function names quickly. Thanks for the link!

Tiger scrolls... haha I actually get that joke :D


PS: Pretty impressive for a deceased 24 character (sorry if that's a spoiler for those who haven't watched all of Season 4), he still managed to contribute one of these...

 Hey kids!

Ever need to know what the PHP equivalent of Perl function XYZZY is?

Can't remember the syntax for function calls in that language you haven't touched for 5 years?

Ever wonder if Java does or does not have a built in function to generate a string that is just a certain character repeated?*


QuoteWhat's this about?

Language Designers:  Looking for operator or function names? Well have a look at the following and remember using existing one may ease the transition :)

Language Users: You know one language and want to find the corresponding operator or function in another language

Language lovers: Want to know the various ways people invented for commenting/assigning/...?

^ The above is like a TOC linking to each page. If you for some reason want it all on a single, freakin' huge page, click here


* PS: NOPE, no "String=repeat(intCount, strChar)" - see the page covering String functions

And hey wow look at this alphabetical list of languages!

 On further inspection, a few that i would use are sorta useless.  the php one is rather antiquated.  It referances $HTTP_GET_VARS, which really is bad form as the $_GET is the perfered and modern method.

I dont understand the choice of the ODBC functions instead of the MySQL functions as well.  LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP....

Not bad in a pinch i guess, like an exam :P

Yeah, I noticed the PHP quickref had a complete absence of array functions, even the most basic ones (which would have been handy to have on the printed page for when I was just starting out) but hey I guess I get the bonus of all those user comments/examples when I keep going to http://ca.php.net/ :)

It seems like PHP has 2 or 3 ways of dealing with those kind of system variables, and there are different opinions of which is the "antiquated" method and which is the more suggested flavour-of-the-month ... IMHO. ;)

While i can sorta agree...

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.vari....predefined.php

...this would be the actual documentation :P  i much perfer $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, etc over the old system.
