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.

Parameters:

$limit int This parameter can be used to limit the number of stack frames returned

Returns:: array of backtrace information

The meaning of the PROTO_* constants is as follows: PROTO_HTTP: Output a URL starting with http:// PROTO_HTTPS: Output a URL starting with https:// PROTO_RELATIVE: Output a URL starting with // (protocol-relative URL) PROTO_CURRENT: Output a URL starting with either http:// or https:// , depending on which protocol was used for the current incoming request PROTO_CANONICAL: For URLs without a domain, like /w/index.php , use $wgCanonicalServer. For protocol-relative URLs, use the protocol of $wgCanonicalServer PROTO_INTERNAL: Like PROTO_CANONICAL, but uses $wgInternalServer instead of $wgCanonicalServer

Todo:: this won't work with current-path-relative URLs like "subdir/foo.html", etc.

Parameters:

$url	String: either fully-qualified or a local path + query
$defaultProto	Mixed: one of the PROTO_* constants. Determines the protocol to use if $url or $wgServer is protocol-relative

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

$setting String

Can take the following options: parse: parses wikitext to HTML parseinline: parses wikitext to HTML and removes the surrounding p's added by parser or tidy escape: filters message through htmlspecialchars escapenoentities: same, but allows entity references like through replaceafter: parameters are substituted after parsing or escaping parsemag: transform the message using magic phrases content: fetch message for content language instead of interface Also can accept a single associative argument, of the form 'language' => 'xx': language: Language object or language code to fetch message for (overriden by content).

wfMsgForContent ( $ key )

Get a message from anywhere, for the current global language set with $wgLanguageCode.

Use this if the message should NOT change dependent on the language set in the user's preferences. This is the case for most text written into logs, as well as link targets (such as the name of the copyright policy page). Link titles, on the other hand, should be shown in the UI language.

Note that MediaWiki allows users to change the user interface language in their preferences, but a single installation typically only contains content in one language.

Be wary of this distinction: If you use wfMsg() where you should use wfMsgForContent(), a user of the software may have to customize potentially hundreds of messages in order to, e.g., fix a link in every possible language.

Each list should be an associative array of type to preference (preference is a float between 0.0 and 1.0). Wildcards in the types are acceptable.

Parameters:

$cprefs	Array: client's acceptable type list
$sprefs	Array: server's offered types

Returns:: string

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.

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:

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

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 (Bug 22709), so no fancy : for IIS7.

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

Parameters:

$s String:

Returns:: string

wfUrlProtocols ( $ includeProtocolRelative = true )

Returns a regular expression of url protocols.

Parameters:

$includeProtocolRelative bool If false, remove '//' from the returned protocol list. DO NOT USE this directly, use wfUrlProtocolsWithoutProtRel() instead

Returns:: String

wfUrlProtocolsWithoutProtRel ( )

Like wfUrlProtocols(), but excludes '//' from the protocol list.

Use this if you need a regex that matches all URL protocols but does not match protocol- relative URLs

Returns:: String

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

See also:: perldoc -f use

Parameters:

$req_ver Mixed: the version to check, can be a string, an integer, or a float

Definition at line 3047 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

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:

$req_ver Mixed: the version to check, can be a string, an integer, or a float

Definition at line 3026 of file GlobalFunctions.php.

wfVarDump ( $ var )

A wrapper around the PHP function var_export().

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

Parameters:

$var	mixed A PHP variable to dump.

References $s, $wgOut, and print.

wfViewPrevNext	(	$	offset,
		$	limit,
		$	link,
		$	query = `''`,
		$	atend = `false`
	)

Generate (prev x| next x) (20|50|100...) type links for paging.

Parameters:

$offset	String
$limit	Integer
$link	String
$query	String: optional URL query parameter string
$atend	Bool: optional param for specified if this is the last page

Returns:: String

Deprecated:: in 1.19; use Language::viewPrevNext() instead

wfWaitForSlaves	(	$	maxLag = `false`,
		$	wiki = `false`
	)

Modern version of wfWaitForSlaves().

Instead of looking at replication lag and waiting for it to go down, this waits for the slaves 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 slaves.

Parameters:

$maxLag	Integer (deprecated)
$wiki	mixed Wiki identifier accepted by wfGetLB

wfWarn	(	$	msg,
		$	callerOffset = `1`,
		$	level = `E_USER_NOTICE`
	)

Send a warning either to the debug log or in a PHP error depending on $wgDevelopmentWarnings.

Parameters:

$msg	String: message to send
$callerOffset	Integer: number of items to go back in the backtrace to find the correct caller (1 = function calling wfWarn, ...)
$level	Integer: PHP error level; only used when $wgDevelopmentWarnings is true
