	<?php

	function array_sort($array, $key, $order = 'asc', $sort_flags = SORT_REGULAR)
	{
	if( ! is_array($array))
	{
	return FALSE;
	}

	foreach($array as $k=>$v)

	#allows a single uri through the .htaccess password protection
	SetEnvIf Request_URI "/testing_uri$" test_uri

	#allows everything if its on a certain host
	SetEnvIf HOST "^testing.yoursite.com" testing_url
	SetEnvIf HOST "^yoursite.com" live_url

	Before posting this article I sent it out to a few friends to give me a reality check. I got enough thumbs up to feel confident posting it, but Chris Hartjes asked me to check outside for the "wahmbulance". I understand that this article is pointless, which to be fair - is the point.

	PHP is well known for having an inconsistent API when it comes to PHP functions. Anyone with an anti-PHP point of view will use this as one of their top 3 arguments for why PHP sucks, while most PHP developers will point out that they don't really care. This is mostly because we're either used to it, have a god-like photographic memory or our IDE handles auto-complete so it's a moot point. For me I'm not too fussed because I spend more time trying Googling words like recepie (see, I got that wrong) recipe than I ever spend looking up PHP functions.

	Another big thing that anti-PHP folks laugh about is the lack of scalar objects, so instead of $string->length() you have to do strlen($string).

	ANOTHER thing that people often joke

	<?php

	$string = 'TS';

	$imagine = new Imagine\Gd\Imagine();
	$size = new Imagine\Image\Box($imgsize, $imgsize);

	$color = new Imagine\Image\Color('#333', 100);

	$image = $imagine->create($size, $color);
