I’ve tried to remember the name of several functions in php for a long time, but there’s no way, I forget everything.
"This function is all together or has an underline?"
Examples:
ucfirst ou uc_first?
strval ou str_val?
There are also functions that get quite difficult to memorize just by deducing your writing in English like:
ltrim
strcasecmp
strcoll
strtr
I was wondering if you had any tips on how to learn them more easily....
Although it seems I have my doubts if this is really a question about programming. It’s more of a memorization problem and the website is not full of neuroscientists or other professionals who work with it. Any answer will be the opinion of a layman. I could say, for example, to use them often even if artificially, will end up decorating.

Ah, finally someone questioned about this inconsistency of PHP!

Unfortunately there is no standard type for both function names and parameter order. Ideal is to use an auto-complete IDE and always have the PHP manual nearby.

I’ve been dealing with php since 2000. Until today I get confused about the order of the function parameters... rsrsr and I never remember for sure if strpos is together or str_pos separately, for example.. in doubt just type in google... I think it’s silly to want to decorate everything.. That’s what the manual is for.

It’s up to you. If you think it’s easier to write my Pathcreator() hi Mfccav() or Mypathcreator() or Myworks_path_creator(), it doesn’t matter. The only problem is the number and values of the parameters, and remember the name. For this, the only solution is to have a documentation 'on paper'.
