The document on tnx.nl provides handy tables, useful for Perl programmers that have to work with PHP. One table helps you to pick the right string matching function, and another helps you learn the several functions that can be used in certain Perl functions' stead.
But mostly, it'll hopefully adjust your expectations so that you'll be able to cope with the psychological torture that PHP presents to many experienced programmers of other languages that start with P.
If it should fail, you can always depend on the support group that starts with A.

Aww, it quotes me!
I’ve written about PHP separately as well [plasmasturm.org].

Also, the links to PHP: A love and hate relationship by Ivan Ristic [webkreator.com] and PHP Annoyances by Neil de Carteret [n3dst4.com] are both 404. But the latter is can be found mirrored at lumphammer.net [lumphammer.net], now.
(I’d try to talk to the webmaster directly, but the page lists no contact address of any form. I hope you have some way to get in touch with whoever runs it.)

I meant whoever runs tnx.nl [tnx.nl], not Ivan.
