I don't think he would pull his code. It doesn't seem right...

Woah... I'm shocked.

Retiring a blog and starting a new one isn't the same thing as disappearing source code for projects like like hackety, syck etc, and contributions like the poignant guide.

I'm worried about this guy. Thanks and great respect to Jeresig for writing this piece.

Starting to learn why no-one around here likes PHP...

These similar php functions have params in THE EXACT OPPOSITE ORDER.

    bool array_key_exists ( mixed $key , array $search )
    http://au2.php.net/array_key_exists

    bool property_exists ( mixed $class , string $property )
    http://au2.php.net/property_exists

Stick THAT up your PAAMAYIM NEKUDOTAYIM. (Or "double colon" in phpspeak/Hebrew...)

Fremnet contributed some more examples:

    http://au2.php.net/strpos
    http://au2.php.net/in_array
