Convert an arbitrarily-long digit string from one numeric base to another, optionally zero-padding to a minimum column width.

Supports base 2 through 36; digit values 10-36 are represented as lowercase letters a-z. Input is case-insensitive.

Deprecated:: since 1.27 Use Wikimedia\base_convert() directly

Parameters

string	$input	Input number
int	$sourceBase	Base of the input number
int	$destBase	Desired base of the output
int	$pad	Minimum number of digits in the output (pad with zeroes)
bool	$lowercase	Whether to output in lowercase or uppercase

Definition at line 2677 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

◆ wfBaseName()

wfBaseName	(	$path,
		$suffix = `''`
	)

Return the final portion of a pathname.

Reimplemented because PHP5's "basename()" is buggy with multibyte text. https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33898

PHP's basename() only considers '\' a pathchar on Windows and Netware. We'll consider it so always, as we don't want '\s' in our Unix paths either.

Parameters

string	$path
string	$suffix	String to remove if present

Returns: string

◆ wfBoolToStr()

wfBoolToStr ( $value )

Convenience function converts boolean values into "true" or "false" (string) values.

Parameters

bool $value

string $ip The IPv4/6 address in the normal human-readable form

Returns: bool

Definition at line 3364 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

Referenced by LoginSignupSpecialPage\execute(), Preferences\profilePreferences(), and User\requiresHTTPS().

◆ wfCgiToArray()

wfCgiToArray ( $query )

This is the logical opposite of wfArrayToCgi(): it accepts a query string as its argument and returns the same string in array form.

This allows compatibility with legacy functions that accept raw query strings instead of nice arrays. Of course, keys and values are urldecode()d.

Parameters

string $query Query string

Returns: string[] Array version of input

Definition at line 487 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

Referenced by SkinTemplate\buildPersonalUrls(), Linker\link(), Linker\makeBrokenImageLinkObj(), SpecialChangeEmail\onSuccess(), OutputPage\returnToMain(), LoginHelper\showReturnToPage(), SpecialCreateAccount\successfulAction(), GlobalTest\testCgiRoundTrip(), and GlobalTest\testCgiToArray().

◆ wfClearOutputBuffers()

wfClearOutputBuffers ( )

More legible than passing a 'false' parameter to wfResetOutputBuffers():

Clear away output buffers, but keep the Content-Encoding header produced by ob_gzhandler, if any.

This should be used for HTTP 304 responses, where you need to preserve the Content-Encoding header of the real result, but also need to suppress the output of ob_gzhandler to keep to spec and avoid breaking Firefox in rare cases where the headers and body are broken over two packets.

Definition at line 1902 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

Referenced by ApiMain\checkConditionalRequestHeaders(), and OutputPage\checkLastModified().

◆ wfClientAcceptsGzip()

wfClientAcceptsGzip ( $force = false )

wfDebug	(		$text,
			$dest = `'all'`,
		array	$context = `[]`
	)

Sends a line to the debug log if enabled or, optionally, to a comment in output.

In normal operation this is a NOP.

Controlling globals: $wgDebugLogFile - points to the log file $wgDebugRawPage - if false, 'action=raw' hits will not result in debug output. $wgDebugComments - if on, some debug items may appear in comments in the HTML output.

Since: 1.25 support for additional context data

Parameters

string	$text
string \| bool	$dest	Destination of the message: 'all': both to the log and HTML (debug toolbar or HTML comments) 'private': excluded from HTML output For backward compatibility, it can also take a boolean: true: same as 'all' false: same as 'private'
array	$context	Additional logging context data

◆ wfIniGetBool()

wfIniGetBool ( $setting )

Safety wrapper around ini_get() for boolean settings.

The values returned from ini_get() are pre-normalized for settings set via php.ini or php_flag/php_admin_flag... but not for those set via php_value/php_admin_value.

It's fairly common for people to use php_value instead of php_flag, which can leave you with an 'off' setting giving a false positive for code that just takes the ini_get() return value as a boolean.

To make things extra interesting, setting via php_value accepts "true" and "yes" as true, but php.ini and php_flag consider them false. :) Unrecognized values go false... again opposite PHP's own coercion from string to bool.

Luckily, 'properly' set settings will always come back as '0' or '1', so we only have to worry about them and the 'improper' settings.

I frickin' hate PHP... :P

Parameters

string $setting

Returns: bool

◆ wfParseUrl()

wfParseUrl ( $url )

parse_url() work-alike, but non-broken.

Differences:

1) Does not raise warnings on bad URLs (just returns false). 2) Handles protocols that don't use :// (e.g., mailto: and news:, as well as protocol-relative URLs) correctly. 3) Adds a "delimiter" element to the array (see (2)). 4) Verifies that the protocol is on the $wgUrlProtocols whitelist. 5) Rejects some invalid URLs that parse_url doesn't, e.g. the empty string or URLs starting with a line feed character.

Parameters

string $url A URL to parse

Returns

string[]|bool Bits of the URL in an associative array, or false on failure. Possible fields:

scheme: URI scheme (protocol), e.g. 'http', 'mailto'. Lowercase, always present, but can be an empty string for protocol-relative URLs.
delimiter: either '://', ':' or '//'. Always present.
host: domain name / IP. Always present, but could be an empty string, e.g. for file: URLs.
user: user name, e.g. for HTTP Basic auth URLs such as http://user:pass@example.com/ Missing when there is no username.
pass: password, same as above.
path: path including the leading /. Will be missing when empty (e.g. 'http://example.com')
query: query string (as a string; see wfCgiToArray() for parsing it), can be missing.
fragment: the part after #, can be missing.

◆ wfShellExecWithStderr()

wfShellExecWithStderr	(		$cmd,
		&	$retval = `null`,
			$environ = `[]`,
			$limits = `[]`
	)

Execute a shell command, returning both stdout and stderr.

Convenience function, as all the arguments to wfShellExec can become unwieldy.

Note: This also includes errors from limit.sh, e.g. if $wgMaxShellFileSize is exceeded.

Parameters

string \| string[]	$cmd	If string, a properly shell-escaped command line, or an array of unescaped arguments, in which case each value will be escaped Example: [ 'convert', '-font', 'font name' ] would produce "'convert' '-font' 'font name'"
null \| mixed	&$retval	Optional, will receive the program's exit code. (non-zero is usually failure)
array	$environ	Optional environment variables which should be added to the executed command environment.
array	$limits	Optional array with limits(filesize, memory, time, walltime) this overwrites the global wgMaxShell* limits.

Returns: string Collected stdout and stderr as a string

◆ wfThumbIsStandard()

wfThumbIsStandard	(	File	$file,
		array	$params
	)

Returns true if these thumbnail parameters match one that MediaWiki requests from file description pages and/or parser output.

◆ wfUnpack()

wfUnpack	(	$format,
		$data,
		$length = `false`

Wrapper around php's unpack.

Parameters

string	$format	The format string (See php's docs)
string	$data	A binary string of binary data
int \| bool	$length	The minimum length of $data or false. This is to prevent reading beyond the end of $data. false to disable the check.

Also be careful when using this function to read unsigned 32 bit integer because php might make it negative.

Exceptions

MWException If $data not long enough, or if unpack fails

Returns: array Associative array of the extracted data

◆ wfUrlencode()

wfUrlencode ( $s )

We want some things to be included as literal characters in our title URLs for prettiness, which urlencode encodes by default.

According to RFC 1738, all of the following should be safe:

;:&=$-_.+!*'(),

RFC 1738 says ~ is unsafe, however RFC 3986 considers it an unreserved character which should not be encoded. More importantly, google chrome always converts %7E back to ~, and converting it in this function can cause a redirect loop (T105265).

But + is not safe because it's used to indicate a space; &= are only safe in paths and not in queries (and we don't distinguish here); ' seems kind of scary; and urlencode() doesn't touch -_. to begin with. Plus, although / is reserved, we don't care. So the list we unescape is:

;:$!*(),/~

However, IIS7 redirects fail when the url contains a colon (see T24709), so no fancy : for IIS7.

%2F in the page titles seems to fatally break for some reason.

string $s

◆ wfUseMW()

wfUseMW ( $req_ver )

This function works like "use VERSION" in Perl except it checks the version of MediaWiki, the program will die with a backtrace if the current version of MediaWiki is less than the version provided.

This is useful for extensions which due to their nature are not kept in sync with releases

Note: Due to the behavior of PHP's version_compare() which is used in this function, if you want to allow the 'wmf' development versions add a 'c' (or any single letter other than 'a', 'b' or 'p') as a post-fix to your targeted version number. For example if you wanted to allow any variation of 1.22 use ‘wfUseMW( '1.22c’ )‘. Using an 'a’ or 'b' instead of 'c' will not result in the same comparison due to the internal logic of version_compare().

See also: perldoc -f use

Deprecated:: since 1.26, use the "requires" property of extension.json

Parameters

string | int | float $req_ver The version to check, can be a string, an integer, or a float

Exceptions

MWException

Definition at line 2580 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

◆ wfUsePHP()

wfUsePHP ( $req_ver )

This function works like "use VERSION" in Perl, the program will die with a backtrace if the current version of PHP is less than the version provided.

This is useful for extensions which due to their nature are not kept in sync with releases, and might depend on other versions of PHP than the main code

Note: PHP might die due to parsing errors in some cases before it ever manages to call this function, such is life

See also: perldoc -f use

Parameters

string | int | float $req_ver The version to check, can be a string, an integer, or a float

Deprecated:: since 1.30

Exceptions

◆ wfVarDump()

wfVarDump ( $var )

Either print it or add it to the regular output ($wgOut).

Parameters

mixed $var A PHP variable to dump.

Definition at line 1794 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

◆ wfWaitForSlaves()

wfWaitForSlaves	(	$ifWritesSince = `null`,
		$wiki = `false`,
		$cluster = `false`,
		$timeout = `null`
	)

Waits for the replica DBs to catch up to the master position.

Use this when updating very large numbers of rows, as in maintenance scripts, to avoid causing too much lag. Of course, this is a no-op if there are no replica DBs.

By default this waits on the main DB cluster of the current wiki. If $cluster is set to "*" it will wait on all DB clusters, including external ones. If the lag being waiting on is caused by the code that does this check, it makes since to use $ifWritesSince, particularly if cluster is "*", to avoid excess overhead.

Never call this function after a big DB write that is still in a transaction. This only makes sense after the possible lag inducing changes were committed.

Parameters

float \| null	$ifWritesSince	Only wait if writes were done since this UNIX timestamp
string \| bool	$wiki	Wiki identifier accepted by wfGetLB
string \| bool	$cluster	Cluster name accepted by LBFactory. Default: false.
int \| null	$timeout	Max wait time. Default: 1 day (cli), ~10 seconds (web)

Returns: bool Success (able to connect and no timeouts reached)

Deprecated:: since 1.27 Use LBFactory::waitForReplication
