php e() and h() functions?
cakephp, php
Solution
It looks like it might be CakePHP.
See e()
e (mixed $data)
Convenience wrapper for echo().
This has been Deprecated and will be removed in 2.0 version. Use echo() instead.
See h()
h (string $text, string $charset = null)
Convenience wrapper for htmlspecialchars().
Problem
I and lately I'm seeing `h()` and `e()` functions in PHP. I have googled them, but they are so short that results don't give any idea of what they are. I got results like exponential or math related functions. For example: ``` <td><?php echo h($room['Room']['message']) ?></td> ``` Does anyone have an idea? or maybe they are not called functions? (I think I read about that very long ago, but I can remember its real name) ADDED: Thanks, for the replies. I am using CakePHP and also found an `e()` example: ``` <?php e($time->niceShort($question['Question'] ['created'])) ?> ``` If they were escaping somehow strings I think it would make sense, since I always see them right next the "echo" I still don't know what they are ;(
