PHP Reference Card – Failed?

While taking a look at my 'Tech Blogs' tab in NetVibes I saw the headline for a reference card available for PHP. So, I hopped on over to dZone.com, got an account (it's free), and downloaded it.

I'm not really impressed.

I believe the beginner may benefit from this, but there's just so many gaping holes in the reference card... Like what about the GD library? Or perhaps cURL? File handling? XML?

Honestly, how could you call a reference card a PHP Reference Card without the most common uses listed? I think the card may be off to a good start, but please, release a new more complete version soon.

Final Verdict:

While it may be great for beginners, it's still lacking for the rest of us. I'll pass and keep php.net as my reference card.
