WordPress is often treated as old days PHP student for not using latest version of PHP. But, now WordPress is going to bigger. It is that, WordPress 5.2 need minimum PHP 5.6. That means, we can use many PHP keyword and modernize our application.
WordPress will be need PHP 7 soon.
In programming, there are many ways to solve a problem. But, everyone likes to easy and short solution.
The reason of telling that, PHP has a syntax token that will make my day. This is called Argument unpacking token or Variable-length argument lists token. This is typed with three dots ( … ). This is safe to use for 5.6 or latest version. For example,
function sum( ...$numbers ) {
$acc = 0;
foreach ( $numbers as $n ) {
$acc += $n;
}
return $acc;
}
echo sum( 1, 2, 3, 4 );
return output 10 as 1+2+3+4=10.
In PHP, there are plenty of PHP function which are very handy to smoothly build a web application. Currently, I find of 82 array functions and 13 array sorting functions. May be count of functions will be increase on time.
Notes: I will write about all array functions as time being.
$simple_array = [
'AppLe' => 'Mrinal',
'OraNge' => 'Shuchy',
'PeNut' => 'Sukla',
];
$convert_key_simple_array = array_change_key_case( $simple_array, CASE_UPPER);
print_r($convert_key_simple_array);
To change keys of multidimensional array use this function
