This function allows you to dive into an array and provide a fallback value in case the element you want does not exist.
<?php
function array_element($array, $key, $default = false)
{
$key = explode('.', $key);
if(count($key) > 1)
{
if ( ! is_array($array) || ! array_key_exists($key[0], $array))
{
return $default;

This function allows you to sort a php array by subelement values, this should be used in conjunction with the array_element function.
<?php
function array_sort($array, $key, $order = 'asc', $sort_flags = SORT_REGULAR)
{
if( ! is_array($array))
{
return FALSE;
}
foreach($array as $k=>$v)

PHP 6: Pissing in the Wind - Mirror of http://philsturgeon.co.uk/blog/2013/01/php-6-pissing-in-the-wind
Before posting this article I sent it out to a few friends to give me a reality check. I got enough thumbs up to feel confident posting it, but Chris Hartjes asked me to check outside for the "wahmbulance". I understand that this article is pointless, which to be fair - is the point.
PHP is well known for having an inconsistent API when it comes to PHP functions. Anyone with an anti-PHP point of view will use this as one of their top 3 arguments for why PHP sucks, while most PHP developers will point out that they don't really care. This is mostly because we're either used to it, have a god-like photographic memory or our IDE handles auto-complete so it's a moot point. For me I'm not too fussed because I spend more time trying Googling words like recepie (see, I got that wrong) recipe than I ever spend looking up PHP functions.
Another big thing that anti-PHP folks laugh about is the lack of scalar objects, so instead of $string->length() you have to do strlen($string).
ANOTHER thing that people often joke

Simple example for creating an avatar based on the user's initials and a background color

$string = 'TS';

$size = new Imagine\Image\Box($imgsize, $imgsize);
$color = new Imagine\Image\Color('#333', 100);
$image = $imagine->create($size, $color);
