Top PHP Functions

If you are a PHP developer, you must know the Top 100 PHP Functions deeply.

The 100 PHP functions that you have to know (2022)

Here is the top 100 PHP functions: it is the list of the most often used PHP native functions.

Why this repository? As a lead developer in the team, I am teaching the functions to my team members deeply.

Where is the Data?

The functions are named, and ranked from 1 to 100. The other 4500 functions are not ranked here.

The frequency column represents how often this function is used across PHP code repositories: the reference corpus is a list of 2500 PHP Open Source projects (top 1000 composer, github/gitlab/gitee public repo, downloaded archives…).
