So, what categories of functions to include? (PHP Manual terminology)

• Currently, thoroughly:
  • Array
  • mysql
  • mysqli
  • Regular Expression (Perl-Compatible) (preg_...())
  • String
• Currently, dabbling in:
  • Date/Time
  • Mathematical
  • Directory
  • Filesystem
  • Function Handling -- only func_get_args()
  • Mail -- only mail()
  • Miscellaneous
  • Network -- only setcookie()
  • Output Control (ob_...() functions)
  • PHP Options&Information (some)
  • Program Execution -- but not proc_...()
  • Session Handling -- only session_start() and $_SESSION[]
  • URL
  • Variable Handling
• Maybe in some future edition:
  • Error Handling & logging
  • HTTP (Http... classes, http_...() functions)
  • IIS
  • Unicode
  • W32api
• Unlikely:
  • Apache (well maybe getallheaders())
  • Class/Object
  • Character Type (ctype_...() functions)
  • COM and .Net
  • CURL
  • DOM
  • Fileinfo (finfo)
  • Function Handling
  • Regular Expression (POSIX Extended) (ereg...(), split...())
  • Tokenizer
• Thinking Definitely Not:
  • (all others, about 150 of them)
