PHPull

PHPull is a WordPress plugin for developers who wish to easily and accurately reference php functions directly from the PHP.net website. The plugin is very easy to use and the tooltip display is easily customizable by updating an existing stylesheet theme or creating your own. More detailed information and examples can be found on the official plugin homepage, linked below.

What is the format of the PHPull tag?

PHPull is utilized by simply adding the following BBCode tag into your posts, wrapping the function name as follows:

[phpull]ksort[/phpull] 

PHPull is also capable of handling class functions, i.e.:

[phpull class="domdocument"]getelementbytagname[/phpull] 

Does PHPull currently support any other languages?

The short answer is no. If you would like to contribute to this project, please contact me and I would be more than willing to integrate multiple languages (only those supported by php.net mirrors).
