When I began programming with PHP back in 1999, I felt that I'd discovered the perfect tool for quickly developing dynamic Web sites. At that time, the language's features and list of functions were both relatively modest. Over the years, the language itself, the extensions it supports, and its overall popularity have all dramatically increased. Unfortunately, it's also become more and more difficult for even the most attentive programmer to keep up. So, if you haven't caught all the new additions or discovered every useful function, start by checking out this list of the Five Things You Didn't Know You Could Do with PHP!
1. Test for a Range of Values using a Switch
2. Have print_r() Return Its Results Instead of Printing Them
3. Handle Errors Your Way
4. Quickly Searching a Directory
5. Tidying Up Your HTML
