Namespaced PHP functions to fix inconsistencies in the PHP language

Wrapper library to fix inconsistencies in PHP's core functions - nkkollaw/zubr

Namespaced PHP functions to fix inconsistencies in the PHP language launched on July 30, 2017 with 19 votes, #781 of 2,972 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.

In plain words

This is a PHP library providing namespaced functions designed to address inconsistencies within the PHP language itself. It offers developers standardized alternatives to PHP's built-in functions, which often have irregular naming conventions, parameter orders, and behavior patterns. The project targets PHP developers who work with the language's standard library regularly and want more consistent function interfaces for their code. It launched in 2017 as an open-source effort on GitHub to improve the developer experience when working with PHP's native functions.

    We're trying to build a wrapper to fix inconsistencies in PHP's core functions, but the project has kind of stalled for a month (personally, I've been crazy-busy with work). Does anyone feels like joining the effort..? This is the repo: https://github.com/nkkollaw/zubr/

    Howdy! I'm a recent PHP convert after a decade of laughing at PHP memes on r/programmerhumor, and wanted to dive a bit deeper into the language by building something practical with it. I also love beer and decided to combine the two by building a PHP library for the Open Brewery DB API (https://openbrewerydb.org/). Hope someone finds it useful!
