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:: array Array version of input

wfCheckLimits	(	$	deflimit = `50`,

Obtain the offset and limit values from the request string; used in special pages.

Parameters:

string	$optionname	Name of a user preference to check against

Returns:: array

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.

Assumes $wgServer is correct.

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:

string	$url	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

Parameters:

$setting String

Returns:: Bool

array	$options	processing rules. 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 (overridden 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.

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.

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

	$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; defaults to E_USER_NOTICE; only used when $wgDevelopmentWarnings is true
