<title>List of Function Aliases</title>
<para>
Here is the aliases list. All aliases are listed here. It is usually
a bad idea to use aliases, as they may be bound to obsolescence or
There are quite a few functions in PHP which you can call with more
than one name. In some cases there is no preferred name among the
multiple ones, <function>is_int</function> and
<function>is_integer</function> are equally good for example.
However there are functions which changed names because of an API
cleanup or some other reason and the old names are only kept as
aliases for backward compatibility. It is usually a bad idea to use
these kind of aliases, as they may be bound to obsolescence or
renaming, which will lead to unportable script. This list is provided
to help those who want to upgrade their old scripts to newer syntax.

<para>
However, some functions simply have two names, and there is no real
preference. (For example, <function>is_int</function> and
<function>is_integer</function> are equally good)

This list is consistent with PHP 4.0.6. For an alias list that updates
daily, have a look at <ulink url="&url.zend.aliaslist;">&url.zend.aliaslist;</ulink>.
