/wp-includes/ -> compat.php (summary)

WordPress implementation for PHP functions either missing from older PHP versions or not included by default. This file is loaded extremely early and the functions can be relied upon by drop-ins. Ergo, please ensure you do not rely on external functions when writing code for this file. Only use functions built into PHP or are defined in this file and have adequate testing and error suppression to ensure the file will run correctly and not break websites.

Functions
Functions that are not part of a class:

_( $message )   X-Ref
Compat function to mimic _(), an alias of gettext().

param: string $message The message being translated.
return: string

_wp_can_use_pcre_u( $set = null )   X-Ref
Returns whether PCRE/u (PCRE_UTF8 modifier) is available for use.

param: bool $set - Used for testing only

_is_utf8_charset( $charset_slug )   X-Ref
Indicates if a given slug for a character set represents the UTF-8 text encoding.

A charset is considered to represent UTF-8 if it is a case-insensitive match
of "UTF-8" with or without the hyphen.

Example:

true  === _is_utf8_charset( 'UTF-8' );
true  === _is_utf8_charset( 'utf8' );
false === _is_utf8_charset( 'latin1' );
false === _is_utf8_charset( 'UTF 8' );

// Only strings match.
false === _is_utf8_charset( [ 'charset' => 'utf-8' ] );

`is_utf8_charset` should be used outside of this file.

param: string $charset_slug Slug representing a text character encoding, or "charset".
return: bool Whether the slug represents the UTF-8 encoding.

mb_substr( $string, $start, $length = null, $encoding = null )   X-Ref
Compat function to mimic mb_substr().

param: string      $string   The string to extract the substring from.
param: int         $start    Position to being extraction from in `$string`.
param: int|null    $length   Optional. Maximum number of characters to extract from `$string`.
param: string|null $encoding Optional. Character encoding to use. Default null.
return: string Extracted substring.

_mb_substr( $str, $start, $length = null, $encoding = null )   X-Ref
Internal compat function to mimic mb_substr().

Only understands UTF-8 and 8bit. All other character sets will be treated as 8bit.
For `$encoding === UTF-8`, the `$str` input is expected to be a valid UTF-8 byte
sequence. The behavior of this function for invalid inputs is undefined.

param: string      $str      The string to extract the substring from.
param: int         $start    Position to being extraction from in `$str`.
param: int|null    $length   Optional. Maximum number of characters to extract from `$str`.
param: string|null $encoding Optional. Character encoding to use. Default null.
return: string Extracted substring.

mb_strlen( $string, $encoding = null )   X-Ref
Compat function to mimic mb_strlen().

param: string      $string   The string to retrieve the character length from.
param: string|null $encoding Optional. Character encoding to use. Default null.
return: int String length of `$string`.

_mb_strlen( $str, $encoding = null )   X-Ref
Internal compat function to mimic mb_strlen().

Only understands UTF-8 and 8bit. All other character sets will be treated as 8bit.
For `$encoding === UTF-8`, the `$str` input is expected to be a valid UTF-8 byte
sequence. The behavior of this function for invalid inputs is undefined.

param: string      $str      The string to retrieve the character length from.
param: string|null $encoding Optional. Character encoding to use. Default null.
return: int String length of `$str`.

is_countable( $value )   X-Ref
Polyfill for is_countable() function added in PHP 7.3.

Verify that the content of a variable is an array or an object
implementing the Countable interface.

param: mixed $value The value to check.
return: bool True if `$value` is countable, false otherwise.

array_key_first( array $array )   X-Ref
Polyfill for array_key_first() function added in PHP 7.3.

Get the first key of the given array without affecting
the internal array pointer.

param: array $array An array.
return: string|int|null The first key of array if the array

array_key_last( array $array )   X-Ref
Polyfill for `array_key_last()` function added in PHP 7.3.

Get the last key of the given array without affecting the
internal array pointer.

param: array $array An array.
return: string|int|null The last key of array if the array

array_is_list( $arr )   X-Ref
Polyfill for `array_is_list()` function added in PHP 8.1.

Determines if the given array is a list.

An array is considered a list if its keys consist of consecutive numbers from 0 to count($array)-1.

param: array<mixed> $arr The array being evaluated.
return: bool True if array is a list, false otherwise.

str_contains( $haystack, $needle )   X-Ref
Polyfill for `str_contains()` function added in PHP 8.0.

Performs a case-sensitive check indicating if needle is
contained in haystack.

param: string $haystack The string to search in.
param: string $needle   The substring to search for in the `$haystack`.
return: bool True if `$needle` is in `$haystack`, otherwise false.

str_starts_with( $haystack, $needle )   X-Ref
Polyfill for `str_starts_with()` function added in PHP 8.0.

Performs a case-sensitive check indicating if
the haystack begins with needle.

param: string $haystack The string to search in.
param: string $needle   The substring to search for in the `$haystack`.
return: bool True if `$haystack` starts with `$needle`, otherwise false.

str_ends_with( $haystack, $needle )   X-Ref
Polyfill for `str_ends_with()` function added in PHP 8.0.

Performs a case-sensitive check indicating if
the haystack ends with needle.

param: string $haystack The string to search in.
param: string $needle   The substring to search for in the `$haystack`.
return: bool True if `$haystack` ends with `$needle`, otherwise false.

param: array    $array    The array to search.
param: callable $callback The callback to run for each element.
return: mixed|null The first element in the array that passes the `$callback`, otherwise null.

array_find_key( array $array, callable $callback )   X-Ref
Polyfill for `array_find_key()` function added in PHP 8.4.

Searches an array for the first key that passes a given callback.

param: array    $array    The array to search.
