PHP

By no means could this appendix replace the value of the PHP manual, but the tables and information listed here might save you a trip online to view it. In this section you’ll find lists of

  • Operators, comparators, and their precedence

  • Date- and time-formatting parameters and functions

  • Regular expression characters and classes

  • And more!
