    get_defined_functions

    (PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    get_defined_functions — Returns an array of all defined functions

    Description

    function get_defined_functions(bool $exclude_disabled = true): array

    Gets an array of all defined functions.

    Parameters

    exclude_disabled

    Whether disabled functions should be excluded from the return value. This parameter has no effect since PHP 8.0.0.

    Warning

    This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 8.5.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.

    Return Values

    Returns a multidimensional array containing a list of all defined functions, both built-in (internal) and user-defined. The internal functions will be accessible via $arr["internal"], and the user defined ones using $arr["user"] (see example below).

    Changelog

    Version Description
    8.5.0 The exclude_disabled parameter has been deprecated, as it no longer has any effect.
    8.0.0 The default value of the exclude_disabled parameter has been changed from false to true. However, it will not have any effect as disabled functions are removed from the function table at compile time.
    7.0.15, 7.1.1 The exclude_disabled parameter has been added.

    Examples

    Example #1 get_defined_functions() example

    <?php
function myrow($id, $data)
{
    return "<tr><th>$id</th><td>$data</td></tr>\n";
}

$arr = get_defined_functions();

print_r($arr);
?>

    The above example will output something similar to:

    Array
(
    [internal] => Array
        (
            [0] => zend_version
            [1] => func_num_args
            [2] => func_get_arg
            [3] => func_get_args
            [4] => strlen
            [5] => strcmp
            [6] => strncmp
            ...
            [750] => bcscale
            [751] => bccomp
        )

    [user] => Array
        (
            [0] => myrow
        )

)

    You can list all arguments using ReflectionFunction class. It's not necessary to parse selected files/files as suggested by Nguyet.Duc.

http://php.net/manual/pl/class.reflectionfunction.php

Example:
<?php
function foo(&$bar, $big, $small = 1) {}
function bar($foo) {}
function noparams() {}
function byrefandopt(&$the = 'one') {}

$functions = get_defined_functions();
$functions_list = array();
foreach ($functions['user'] as $func) {
        $f = new ReflectionFunction($func);
        $args = array();
        foreach ($f->getParameters() as $param) {
                $tmparg = '';
                if ($param->isPassedByReference()) $tmparg = '&';
                if ($param->isOptional()) {
                        $tmparg = '[' . $tmparg . '$' . $param->getName() . ' = ' . $param->getDefaultValue() . ']';
                } else {
                        $tmparg.= '&' . $param->getName();
                }
                $args[] = $tmparg;
                unset ($tmparg);
        }
        $functions_list[] = 'function ' . $func . ' ( ' . implode(', ', $args) . ' )' . PHP_EOL;
}
print_r($functions_list);
?>

Output:
Array
(
    [0] => function foo ( &&bar, &big, [$small = 1] )

    [1] => function bar ( &foo )

    [2] => function noparams (  )

    [3] => function byrefandopt ( [&$the = one] )

)

    At least with PHP 4.2.3 on a GNU/Linux/Apache platform, get_defined_functions() returns user-defined functions as all-lower case strings regardless of how the functions are capitalized when they are defined.

Threw me for a loop.

    Here's a useful trick with the get_defined_functions function - show all available functions with a link to the documentation (you can even change the mirror it goes to):

<?php
  // the php mirror 
  $php_host = "http://us2.php.net/";

  // the number of cols in our table
  $num_cols = 3;

  $ar = get_defined_functions();
  $int_funct = $ar[internal];
  sort($int_funct);
  $count = count($int_funct);
?>
<html>
 <head>
  <title>
   Available PHP Functions
  </title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <p>
   <?php print $count; ?> functions     
    available on 
    <?php 
      print $_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]; 
     ?>
   (<a href="<?php print $php_host;?>" 
    target="phpwin">php</a>
    version 
    <?php print phpversion(); ?>)
  </p>
  <table align="center" border="2">
   <tr>  
<?php
  for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++) {
    $doc = $php_host 
     . "manual/en/function."
     . strtr($int_funct[$i], "_", "-") 
     . ".php";
    print "    <td><a href=\"" . $doc 
     . "\" target=\"phpwin\">" 
     . $int_funct[$i] 
     . "</a></td>\n";
    if(($i > 1) 
     && (($i+$num_cols)%$num_cols==($num_cols-1)))   
      print "   </tr>\n   <tr>\n";
    }
  for($i=($num_cols-($count%$num_cols));$i>0;$i--)  
    print "    <td>&nbsp;</td>\n";
?>
  </table>
 </body>

    look at here, list all the defined function on your php-Version and give as well formatted output width links onto the php-manual:

<html><head>
<style type="text/css"><!--
li{font-family:Verdana,Arail,sans-serif;width:500px;margin-top:7px;}
a{padding:4px;}
a.a1{font-size:12px;background-color:#CCCCCC;color:#663300;}
a.a1:hover{background-color:#663300;color:#CCCCCC;}
a.a1:visited{background-color:#fff;color:#999;}
a.a1:visited:hover{background-color:#fff;color:#999;}
a.a0{font-size:12px;background-color:#CCCCFF;color:#663399;}
a.a0:hover{background-color:#663399;color:#CCCCFF;}
a.a0:visited{background-color:#ffC;color:#999;}
a.a0:visited:hover{background-color:#ffC;color:#999;}
--></style>
</head><body style="background-color:#999;">
<?php
$arr = get_defined_functions();

foreach($arr as $zeile){
sort($zeile);$s=0;
foreach($zeile as $bzeile){
$s=($s)?0:1;
echo "<li><a class='a".$s."'  href='http://de.php.net/".$bzeile."'>".$bzeile."</a></li>";}
}
?>
</body>

    This is rather a simple non-confusing script to get the function names linked to its manual page on php.net. Hope it helps someone. Commented script is self explainatory

<?php
    
    /*declare a variable to php manual of functions.
    change the $lng to the region you want it for,
    i-e en/es/de etc etc */
    $lng = "es";
    $url = "http://www.php.net/manual/".$lng."/function.";
    
    // get defined functions in a variable (it will be a 2D array)
    $functions = get_defined_functions();
    
    // Run nested foreach to get the function names
    foreach($functions as $function){
        foreach ($function as $functionName){
            
            /* Since php manual is using hyphens instead of underscores
            for functions, we will convert underscores to hyphen whereever
            there is one. */
            if(strpos($functionName,"_") !== false){
                $functionForURL = str_replace("_","-",$functionName);
            } else {
                $functionForURL = $functionName;
            }
            
            /* echo the link */
            echo "<a href='".$url.$functionForURL.".php'>".$functionName."</a><br />";
        }
    }
    
?>
