Why are there so many built-in functions for PHP?
Are half of them even useful? At all? I'm learning from a book I just got called "PHP/MySQL web development" and I'm in chapter 3: arrays and out of 15 pages or so that I've read so far I've been introduced to about 10 functions!!!
And in the whole book I've been introduced to about 30 functions!!
Only on about 13 or 15 functions I've learned so far I can even imagine using at all....
So are just about all of them useful? And if they are, useful for what?
Thanks,
