MySQL Function of the Day : The First Week
By Carsten | March 11, 2008
A few months ago on planet-php.net, I came across funcaday, a wonderful idea “developed by self-proclaimed PHP guru Paul Reinheimer and Graphic Design lackey Courtney Wilson.”
Basically, funcaday is a run-down of PHP functions, with a short description and a few hints on how to use them. Having programmed PHP for about a decade, I can safely say that I feel pretty well-versed in the PHP universe. Still, I’ve had at least two “Aha!” moments in the time I’ve kept up with the sites’ RSS feed. I think this is a great idea, and believing that MySQL deserves something like it, I’ve decided to follow up with a similar “service” to those interested.
Since I don’t have a graphic designer handy, I guess I’ll just have to make do with using WordPress for the publication of those tidbits. In order not to spam the subscribed planets or other RSS readers with these entries, I’ve put them in separate categories which may be read using your browser or RSS.
The first 5 entries in the group are:
- Wednesday, March 5th, 2008: CHAR_LENGTH()
- Thursday, March 6th, 2008: NOW()
- Friday, March 7th, 2008: CONCAT_WS
- Monday, March 10th, 2008: LOWER()
- Tuesday, March 11th, 2008: DATE_FORMAT()

Very good idea! I had the same experience with funcaday.
Thanks for doing that work!
