I will definitely agree that there are a few inconsistencies in the function naming... more than likely due to the many many contributors, and a lack of strict naming conventions.
Never quite understood (for example) why half of the string based functions are named str* and the other half str_*, eg str_replace, str_pad, str_repeat, str_word_count, etc as opposed to strlen, strrev, strstr, strchr, strpos, etc But all it really means is another trip to the manual if my first "guess" for the function name doesn't work. It'd be nice if things could have been standardised in PHP5, with aliases to the functions with older (deprecated?) names, but I guess it's WAAAY too late for that!!
