とても便利なPHP関数

$a = 0;
function iterate() {
global $a;
if( $a < 10 )
recur();
echo $a . “, “;
}
function recur() {
global $a;
$a++;
// how did I get here?
echo “\n\n\n”;
debug_print_backtrace();
if( $a < 10 )
iterate();
}
iterate();
# OUTPUT:
#0 recur() called at [C:\htdocs\php_stuff\index.php:8]
#1 iterate() called at [C:\htdocs\php_stuff\index.php:25]
#0 recur() called at [C:\htdocs\php_stuff\index.php:8]
#1 iterate() called at [C:\htdocs\php_stuff\index.php:21]
#2 recur() called at [C:\htdocs\php_stuff\index.php:8]
#3 iterate() called at [C:\htdocs\php_stuff\index.php:25]

7. metaphone()
这个函数返回单词的metaphone值，相同读音的单词具有相同的metaphone值，也就是说这个函数可以帮你判断两个单词的读音是否 相同。
8. natsort()
natsort()能将一个数组以自然排序法 进行排列，直接看个例子吧：
$items = array(
“100 apples”, “5 apples”, “110 apples”, “55 apples”
);
// normal sorting:
sort($items);
print_r($items);
# Outputs:
# Array
# (
# [0] => 100 apples
# [1] => 110 apples
# [2] => 5 apples
# [3] => 55 apples
# )
natsort($items);
print_r($items);
# Outputs:
# Array
# (
# [2] => 5 apples
# [3] => 55 apples
# [0] => 100 apples
# [1] => 110 apples
# )  
9. levenshtein()
Levenshtein()告诉你两个单词之间的“距离”。它告诉你如果想把一个单词变成另一个单词，需要插入、替换和删除多少字母。
看个例子吧：
$dictionary = array(
“php”, “javascript”, “css”
);
$word = “japhp”;
$best_match = $dictionary[0];
$match_value = levenshtein($dictionary[0], $word);
foreach($dictionary as $w) {
$value = levenshtein($word, $w);
if( $value < $match_value ) {
$best_match = $w;
$match_value = $value;
}
}
echo “Did you mean the ‘$best_match’ category?”;  
10. glob()
glob()会让你觉得用 opendir(), readdir()和closedir()来寻找文件非常蠢。
foreach (glob(“*.php”) as $file)
echo “$file\n”;
