Maybe one of the best resources available on the internet for php programmers is what most come to know as the manual.  Inside the pages of the php manual you can find everything related to php strings, functions, globals, and so on.  They key to good programming is not knowing the answer to every question, but knowing where to find the answer.  One of my favorite Firefox Extensions is Php Lookup.  A lot of times when I am editing or coding my own stuff.  I run into things that aren't fresh on my memory or I don't know it all.  With this extension finding it in the manual is a breeze.

Notice in my test script all php official syntax is highlighted in maroon.  Syntax Highlighting will be covered some other day.


Next you highlight what it is you wanna lookup. Then paste it into the input box just above your tags


Then hit Enter and your results will appear


Sorry I had to scale some of the images down to fit.  I know.  Anyway thats it.  This little Extension will save us programmers a little time.  A note to remember is the search opens in you current window.  So start a new Firefox tab to keep from disrupting your current work.
