null, the data is rendered to be browser-friendly. If $showFrom is not set to false, the debug output
will start with the line from which it was called Also see Debugging
env(string $key)
Gets an environment variable from available sources. Used as a backup if $_SERVER or $_ENV are
disabled.
This function also emulates PHP_SELF and DOCUMENT_ROOT on unsupporting servers. In fact,
it’s a good idea to always use env() instead of $_SERVER or getenv() (especially if you plan to
distribute the code), since it’s a full emulation wrapper.
fileExistsInPath(string $file)
Checks to make sure that the supplied file is within the current PHP include_path. Returns a boolean
result.
h(string $text, boolean $double = true, string $charset = null)
Convenience wrapper for htmlspecialchars().
