Function Documentation

◆ wfAppendQuery()

◆ wfArrayDiff2()

wfArrayDiff2 (   $arr1,
  $arr2 
)

Like array_diff( $arr1, $arr2 ) except that it works with two-dimensional arrays.

Parameters
string[] | array[]$arr1
string[] | array[]$arr2
Returns
array

Definition at line 110 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

◆ wfArrayInsertAfter()

wfArrayInsertAfter ( array  $array,
array  $insert,

◆ wfArrayPlus2d()

wfArrayPlus2d ( array  $baseArray,
array  $newValues 
)

Merges two (possibly) 2 dimensional arrays into the target array ($baseArray).

Values that exist in both values will be combined with += (all values of the array of $newValues will be added to the values of the array of $baseArray, while values, that exists in both, the value of $baseArray will be used).

Parameters
array$baseArrayThe array where you want to add the values of $newValues to
array$newValuesAn array with new values
Returns
array The combined array
Since
1.26

◆ wfArrayToCgi()

wfArrayToCgi (   $array1,
  $array2 = null,
  $prefix = '' 
)

◆ wfAssembleUrl()

wfAssembleUrl (   $urlParts)

This function will reassemble a URL parsed with wfParseURL.

This is useful if you need to edit part of a URL and put it back together.

This is the basic structure used (brackets contain keys for $urlParts): [scheme][delimiter][user]:[pass]@[host]:[port][path]?[query]#[fragment]

Deprecated:
since 1.39, use UrlUtils::assemble()
Since
1.19
Parameters
array$urlPartsURL parts, as output from wfParseUrl
Returns
string URL assembled from its component parts

◆ wfBacktrace()

wfBacktrace (   $raw = null)

Get a debug backtrace as a string.

Parameters
bool | null$rawIf true, the return value is plain text. If false, HTML. Defaults to $wgCommandLineMode if unset.
Returns
string
Since
1.25 Supports $raw parameter.

Definition at line 1079 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$path
string$suffixString to remove if present
Returns
string

◆ wfBoolToStr()

wfBoolToStr (   $value)

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

Parameters
bool$value
Returns
string

Definition at line 1997 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

Referenced by ApiRsd\formatRsdApiList(), and FileCacheBase\isCacheGood().

◆ 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$queryQuery string
Returns
string[] Array version of input

◆ 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.

Deprecated:
since 1.36

Definition at line 1409 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

References wfDeprecated(), and wfResetOutputBuffers().

◆ wfClientAcceptsGzip()

wfClientAcceptsGzip (   $force = false)

Whether the client accept gzip encoding.

Uses the Accept-Encoding header to check if the client supports gzip encoding. Use this when considering to send a gzip-encoded response to the client.

Parameters
bool$forceForces another check even if we already have a cached result.
Returns
bool

◆ wfDebug()

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$text
string | bool$destDestination 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$contextAdditional logging context data

◆ wfDeprecatedMsg()

wfDeprecatedMsg (   $msg,
  $version = false,
  $component = false,
  $callerOffset = 2 
)

Log a deprecation warning with arbitrary message text.

A caller description will be appended. If the message has already been sent for this caller, it won't be sent again.

Although there are component and version parameters, they are not automatically appended to the message. The message text should include information about when the thing was deprecated. The component and version are just used to implement $wgDeprecationReleaseLimit.

Since
1.35
Parameters
string$msgThe message
string | false$versionVersion of MediaWiki that the function was deprecated in.
string | bool$componentComponent to which the function belongs. If false, it is assumed the function is in MediaWiki core.
int | false$callerOffsetHow far up the call stack is the original caller. 2 = function that called the function that called us. If false, the caller description will not be appended.

int$dbIndex of the connection to get. May be DB_PRIMARY for the primary (for write queries), DB_REPLICA for potentially lagged read queries, or an integer >= 0 for a particular server.
string | string[]$groupsQuery groups. An array of group names that this query belongs to. May contain a single string if the query is only in one group.
string | bool$wikiThe wiki ID, or false for the current wiki

Note: multiple calls to wfGetDB(DB_REPLICA) during the course of one request will always return the same object, unless the underlying connection or load balancer is manually destroyed.

Note 2: use $this->getDB() in maintenance scripts that may be invoked by updater to ensure that a proper database is being updated.

Note 3: When replacing calls to this with calls to methods on an injected LoadBalancer, LoadBalancer::getConnection is more commonly needed than LoadBalancer::getMaintenanceConnectionRef, which is needed for more advanced administrative tasks.

◆ 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

◆ wfParseUrl()

wfParseUrl (   $url)

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

Differences:

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

Deprecated:
since 1.39, use UrlUtils::parse()
Parameters
string$urlA 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.
  • port: port number. Will be missing when port is not explicitly specified.
  • 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.

◆ wfResetOutputBuffers()

wfResetOutputBuffers (   $resetGzipEncoding = true)

Clear away any user-level output buffers, discarding contents.

Suitable for 'starting afresh', for instance when streaming relatively large amounts of data without buffering, or wanting to output image files without ob_gzhandler's compression.

The optional $resetGzipEncoding parameter controls suppression of the Content-Encoding header sent by ob_gzhandler; by default it is left. See comments for wfClearOutputBuffers() for why it would be used.

Note that some PHP configuration options may add output buffer layers which cannot be removed; these are left in place.

Parameters

◆ 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.
