query_php_docs — Read a PHP or WordPress manual page

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Read one current English manual page for a PHP symbol or a WordPress function, hook, or class. Returns the official page URL, the version line, the signature, the description, and the first official example. php.net pages are the live English HTML manual. WordPress pages are the live developer.wordpress.org reference. This is not an archive of older manuals and it does not search Laravel, Symfony, or Markdown docs. The first 5 successful pages each UTC day from one network address are free and need no API key. A not_found or fetch_failed does not use a free page. After the 5, send header X-API-Key. A key call costs 0.04 credit only when a page is returned. Pass the symbol, for example str_contains or wp_insert_post. Set source to php or wordpress, or omit it and a wp_ name uses WordPress. Set version, for example 8.3 or 6.7, to learn whether that release is covered by the page version line. version_applies is null when version is omitted or the page has no version line. User comments are not included. Key: https://firm.bestsmartgoods.com/signup

explain_php_error — Explain a PHP error

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Turn one PHP error message into the current English manual page for the function or method it names. Returns the manual URL, version line, signature, description, and first example. Use it when the agent has the error text. A message that names no function returns not_found. The first 5 successful calls each UTC day from one network address are free and need no key. A not_found, bad_range, or fetch_failed is not charged and does not use a free call. After the 5, send X-API-Key. A key call costs 0.04 credit only on success.

check_php_upgrade — Check a PHP upgrade

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Check which of the given PHP symbols are linked from the official php.net migration pages between two minor versions. Returns each hit with kind incompatible or deprecated, the version, and the page URL. A symbol that is absent was not named on those pages, which is not proof the code is safe. Send from, to, and symbols, or code instead of symbols. The span can cover at most 8 minor versions. An empty breaks list is still a successful, charged check when the pages were read. The first 5 successful calls each UTC day from one network address are free and need no key. A not_found, bad_range, or fetch_failed is not charged and does not use a free call. After the 5, send X-API-Key. A key call costs 0.04 credit only on success. Key: https://firm.bestsmartgoods.com/signup
