PHP needles and haystacks
I was skim reading ”PHP – The Good Parts” yesterday to see if there was anything new in it. The following lines caught my eye – never knew this!
The position of needle/haystack parameters in string functions is the reverse of the parameters in array functions.
strstr($haystack, $needle)
array_search($needle, $haystack)
I just assumed the developers were completely insane and chose parameter orders at random.
