Include and Require

How-to

Convert string to Boolean

$test_mode = $string === 'true' ? true : false;

Print human-readable information about a variable

Use print_r:

<?php
$a = array ('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => 'orange');
print_r ($a);
?>

This produces:

Array
(
    [a] => apple
    [b] => banana
    [c] => orange
)

Split a string by string

Use explode:

print_r(explode(' ', 'one two three four'));

This produces

Array
(
    [0] => one
    [1] => two
    [2] => three
    [3] => four
)

Detect if an array key is defined

Use either array_key_exists (slow but works even if value is null</code), or isset (faster, but fails if assigned value is null) [1]:

$foo = array();
$foo['bar'] = NULL;

var_dump(isset($foo['bar']));
var_dump(array_key_exists('bar', $foo));

Unicode support

  • First, if PHP file contains special character, make sure the PHP file is encoded in UTF-8:
file -bi FenTT.php           # To get current encoding
iconv -f $encoding -t UTF-8 -o FenTT.out.php FenTT.php        # Specify correct source $encoding as given above (note that converting us-ascii is useless)
  • Specify the default multi-byte encoding:
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
  • Next store unicode char as follows [2]:
$S = '\u2654\u2655\u2656\u2657';
$S = json_decode('"'.$S.'"');
  • Then access the string using the multi-byte API [3], like [4]:
$D = mb_substr($S,2,1);    // instead of $D=$S[2]

See php reference - string details for more information on how strings are handled internally in php.

PHP to Javascript

Encode PHP variable in Javascript

Use the json_encode($myarray):

$my_array = array(person => "personA", id => 12);
return "<script>" . json_encode($my_array) . "</script>";
return

To pretty-print JSON, use JSON_PRETTY_PRINT:

echo json_encode($my_array, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
