Changelog

Version Description
8.5.0 The exclude_disabled parameter has been deprecated, as it no longer has any effect.
8.0.0 The default value of the exclude_disabled parameter has been changed from false to true. However, it will not have any effect as disabled functions are removed from the function table at compile time.
7.0.15, 7.1.1 The exclude_disabled parameter has been added.

Examples

Example #1 get_defined_functions() example

<?php
function myrow($id, $data)
{
return "<tr><th>$id</th><td>$data</td></tr>\n";
}

$arr = get_defined_functions();

print_r($arr);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [internal] => Array
        (
            [0] => zend_version
            [1] => func_num_args
            [2] => func_get_arg
            [3] => func_get_args
            [4] => strlen
            [5] => strcmp
            [6] => strncmp
            ...
            [750] => bcscale
            [751] => bccomp
        )

    [user] => Array
        (
            [0] => myrow
        )

)
