path-array.php

See path-array.php

PathArray class - enables working on 'dot notation' like:

$exampleInputData = ['user' => ['name' => 'John', 'sex' => 'male'] ];
echo PathArray::get($exampleInputData, 'user.name');// (We can use different separators than '.')

Working example: https://3v4l.org/kYeN9

typed-array.php

See typed-array.php

TypedArray class - A very simple implementation of 'typed array', like this:

$stringArray = new TypedArray('string');
and now only strings can be added to the above $stringArray. Works with objects as well.

More examples below the class.

Ah, and here is a working example: https://3v4l.org/kHocv (can be outdated though)

check-stuff.php

See check-stuff.php

Overcomplicated script checking your PHP's error logging configuration. just copy and paste the above code to some file and run it.

code-benchmark.php

See code-benchmark.php

Returns an execution time in microseconds (one millionth (0.000001 or 1/1,000,000) of a second).

Example: this should take about 4 seconds, because we repeat it 2 times:

echo benchmark (function(){
    sleep(1);
    sleep(1);
}, 2);

How to make PHP errors/warning to log/display

named-parameters.php

See named-parameters.php

"Named parameters" in PHP. There is no such thing, but we can "simulate" it with arrays.

In Python we can do:

def info(x = 1, y = 2, z = 3):
and then call it like this:
info(x = 100)

We can't do that in PHP, but we can simply pass an array with key => value pairs.

This is a working code - https://3v4l.org/Yj8vT

var-dump-str.php

See var-dump-str.php

var_dump returning a string, in case we need it, for example to log it to a file, example:

error_log("Something something: ", var_dump_str($someArray));
