PHP Array Functions Cheat Sheet

PHP's built in Array Function provide a convenient way to perform operations on arrays, such as sorting, searching, filtering, and transforming the elements of an array.

Some common tasks that can be performed using PHP array functions include:

Sorting an array by its values or keys
Removing duplicate values from an array
Filtering an array to include only certain elements that meet certain criteria
Merging multiple arrays into a single array
Transforming the values of an array using a callback function
Searching for a specific value or key in an array
Counting the number of elements in an array

Here is a complete list of PHP's Array Functions:

`array_reduce`	Iteratively reduce the array to a single value using a callback function.
`array_replace`	Replaces elements from passed arrays into the first array recursively.
`array_replace_recursive`	Replaces elements from passed arrays into the first array recursively.
`array_reverse`	Returns an array with elements in reverse order.
`array_search`	Searches the array for a given value and returns the corresponding key if successful.
