PHP, on the other hand, is full to bursting with abbreviations and acronyms which are entirely unnecessary:
str_replace()
is_int()
var_dump()
The following changes should improve things:
string_replace()
is_integer()
variable_dump()
perl_regex_foo() might even be better than "preg" whereas everyone knows what regex means but "preg" isn't obvious at all. At this point who cares that it came from perl it should really just be regex_foo()
the "Perl" distinction is because they are PCRE (Perl-compatible Regular Expressions) - PHP used to* have ereg() and family, which used POSIX Regular Expressions.
