1.2.605. Is An Extension Function

This is an extension function.

Almost every PHP extension defines extra functions. Nowadays, they are prefixed, like mysqli_connect, ldap_close, or zlib_decode. Sometimes, they are even in a namespace. Refer to the extension itself to learn more about its functions usage.

<?php

// range is a native PHP function. It is always available
$array = range(0, 100);

// json_encode is an extension function : it requires that PHP was compile with ext/json
echo json_encode($array);

?>
