STRING FUNCTIONS
phpmaster.com/guide
PHP comes loaded with many core functions
for PHP novice or ninja alike to exploit.
Here are just some of the more useful ones.
Included is information on the functions
parameters or arguments, a description of
what the function does, and the datatype of
its return value.
So the reference to
means the function str_pad returns a string
and takes four possible arguments: a string,
an integer, an optional (italics) string and an
optional integer.
Go to php.net for further information on
argument values, not to mention loads more
handy PHP built-in functions.
