function_usable()

Function usable


    
                    function_usable(string $functionName) : bool

Executes a function_exists() check, and if the Suhosin PHP extension is loaded - checks whether the function that is checked might be disabled in there as well.

This is useful as function_exists() will return FALSE for functions disabled via the disable_functions php.ini setting, but not for suhosin.executor.func.blacklist and suhosin.executor.disable_eval. These settings will just terminate script execution if a disabled function is executed.

The above described behavior turned out to be a bug in Suhosin, but even though a fix was committed for 0.9.34 on 2012-02-12, that version is yet to be released. This function will therefore be just temporary, but would probably be kept for a few years.

Parameters

$functionName : string: Function to check for

bool —

TRUE if the function exists and is safe to call, FALSE otherwise.
