On WebProNews.com today there's this new post in their web development section with "Some PHP Functions You Must Know".

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

PHP has more than several thousands functions for many purposes. For writing a program in any language we need a basic language construct, syntax and a large number of functions to get the desired result from program.

In this article I will write about some of the functions of PHP which are very useful in creating a bug free, clean and efficient program.

He talks about six functions - error_reporting, isset, print_r, var_dump, ini_set/igi_get, and set_time_limit. Definitely all very useful functions, especially for the purpose of debugging your application and getting feedback from the various parts of your program.

Thanks to PHP Magazine for the pointer...
