Here it is!!..
PHP
PHP
Code:
!!--------LUA CHEAT SHEET-------!!
------------------------------------------------------------------
RESERVED KEYWORDS:
and break do else elseif
end false for function if
in local nil not or
repeat return then true until while
-------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATORS:
+ addition
- subtraction/negation
* multiplication
/ division
^ exponent
== equal to
~= not equal to
> greater than
< less than
<= less than or equal to
>= greater than or equal to
.. concencation (ex: "Hello ".."World" == "Hello World")
---------------------------------------------------------------
LOGICAL OPERATORS:
and arguments on both sides must be true
or argument on 1 side must be true
not reverse''s argument (ex: true->false/false->true)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER:
= assignment
() function arguments
{} table constructors
[] table index
; end statement (optional)
: table methods (ex: v:name(...) == v.name(v,...))
, function argument separation/multiple variable (declaration/returning)/table declaration separation
. table index (ex: a.name == a["name"])
... variadic (ex: foo(...) will collect all arguments into a table called "arg")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATOR PRECEDENCE:
(if operators are next to each other it indicates that they are married and go in order of first, to last)
NOTE: you can change the precedence with parentheses
or
and
< > <= >= ~= ==
..
+ -
* /
not - (negation)
^

] --- right square bracket
NOTE: Some don''t work in Lua Player
------------------------------------------
VARIBLE TYPES:

table (eg: foo[5] = "bar")
-------------------------------------------
CONTROL STRUCTURES:
## WHILE
while EXP do BLOCK end
---------------------------

repeat BLOCK until EXP
---------------------------
## IF
if EXP then BLOCK {elseif EXP then BLOCK} [else BLOCK] end
---------------------------------------------------------------

(expression must result in numbers)
EXP1 = VAR starting value
EXP2 = VAR ending value
EXP3 = step between values from EXP1 to EXP2

DECLARATION:
## VARIABLE
## GLOBAL
VAR{,VAR,...} = EXP{,EXP,...}
VAR = variable name
EXP = value
----------------------------------
## LOCAL
local VAR{,VAR,...} = EXP{,EXP,...}
VAR = variable name
EXP = value
----------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

## FUNCTION
function VAR(ARG) BLOCK end
VAR = function name
ARG = function arguments
----------------------------------

collectgarbage(limit) sets the garbage threshold to limit in kilobytes, and then if the limit has been exceeded,
it performs a garbage collection, if limit is nil, it sets the threshold as 0, thus
forcing a garbage collection.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dofile(file) opens the file and executes its contents
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
error(message{,level}) stops execution, and displays the message. The level argument specifies where the error
message points the error. With level 1, the error position is where the
error function was called. Level 2 points the error to where the function that called
error was called, and so on. if level is nil the level = 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tonumber(VAR{,base}) attempts to convert VAR to a number, if it can''t the function will return nil. An
optional argument specifies the base to interpret the numeral. The base may be any
integer between 2 and 36, inclusive. In bases above 10, the letter `A? (in either
upper or lower case) represents 10, `B? represents 11, and so forth, with `Z?
representing 35. In base 10 (the default), the number may have a decimal part, as
well as an optional exponent part. In other bases, only unsigned integers
are accepted.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tostring(VAR) accepts any type of variable and converts it into a string
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type(VAR) returns a string that Identifies what type of value VAR is
possible returned strings are:
"nil"
"number"
"string"
"boolean"
"table"
"function"
"thread"
"userdata"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
string.find(VAR,PATTERN{,INIT{,PLAIN}}) Looks for the first match of PATTERN in VAR. If it doesn''t find it,
the function returns nil else it returns the indices's of VAR where
this occurrence starts and ends. INIT is an optional argument that
states where to start searching from, the default is 1. Lastly the
argument PLAIN, is a boolean that if TRUE it should do a search
on VAR without considering "magic" characters, (NOTE: INIT must be
included if PLAIN is included)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
string.len(VAR) returns the number of characters in VAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
string.lower(VAR) returns an identical string of VAR, except all uppercase letters are now lowercase.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
string.sub(VAR,START{,FINISH}) returns a substring of VAR in between position
START and position FINISH, if FINISH is absent, then it assumes
till the end of the string
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
string.upper(VAR) returns an identical string of VAR, except all lowercase letters are now uppercase.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
string.gsub(VAR,PATTERN,REPLACE{,MAX}) returns an identical string to VAR, except it replaces all occurrences of
PATTERN with REPLACE. If MAX is present it will limit the number of
replacements to MAX, so if MAX == 1 then it will only replace the first
occurrence of PATTERN with REPLACE. If replace is a function then that
function is called every time it finds an occurrence of PATTERN with all
captured substrings passed as arguments in order. if the pattern
specifies no captures, then the whole match is passed as an
argument. If the value returned by this function is a string,
then it is used as the replacement string, else the replacement
string is an empty string.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
table.getn(VAR) returns the length of the table VAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
table.insert(VAR{,POSITION},VALUE) inserts VALUE into VAR at index POSITION, while moving other index's
up one index, so to make room for the new one. If POSITION is not given
then it will insert VALUE at the last index of VAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
table.remove(VAR{,POSITION}) removes the index POSITION from VAR and moves all other index's down, so
it fills the gap and then returns the value of the removed index. If
POSITION is absent, it will remove the last index from VAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
##MATH FUNCTIONS
-------------------
math.abs(VAL) absolute value of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.acos(VAL) inverse cosine of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.asin(VAL) inverse sine of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.atan(VAL) inverse tangent of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------
math.cos(VAL) cosine of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.deg(VAL) convert VAL into degree's
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.exp(VAL) returns the base of natural logarithms rasied to the power of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.floor(VAL) floor of VAL (eg: math.floor(5.9) == 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.log(VAL) returns the inverse of math.exp on VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.log10(VAL) returns the base 10 logarithm of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.max(VAL1,...) returns the maximum value of its list of arguments
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.min(VAL1,...) returns the minimum value of its list of arguments
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.mod(X,Y) returns the remainder of X divided by Y
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.pow(X,Y) returns X to the Y power
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.rad(VAL) convert VAL into radian's
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.sin(VAL) sine of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.sqrt(VAL) square root of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.tan(VAL) tangent of VAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.frexp(VAL) splits VAL into a fraction and exponent
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.ldexp(X,Y) returns X multiplied by 2, to the power of Y (inverse of math.frexp)
-------------------------------------------------------------
math.random(VAL1,VAL2) if their are no arguments, it will randomly return a real number between 0 and 1.
If VAL1 is present but not VAL2, it will return a random number between 1 and
VAL1. If both VAL1 and VAL2 are present it will return a random number between
VAL1 and VAL2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
math.randomseed(VAL) sets the (pseudo-)random number generator's seed to VAL, if you use a different
seed each time it will produce unsimular patterns, therefore creating actual
random numbers. A good way of making sure the seed is different MOST of the
time just call it like this math.randomseed(os.time()) os.time() will return
the time and then the time will be used as the seed, which can create almost
real random numbers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
math.pi a variable that contains the value of PI
----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
io.close() Closes closes the current file
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
io.flush() Saves any written data to the current file
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
io.open(FILENAME,MODE) Opens up FILNAMEE in MODE, the possibility's for MODE are:
"r" read mode (the default)
"w" write mode
"a" append mode
"r+" update mode, all previous data is preserved
"w+" update mode, all previous data is erased
"a+" append update mode, previous data is preserved,
writing is only allowed at the end of file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
io.write(VAL1,...) Writes all arguments to the current file
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
io.lines(FILENAME) Opens up FILENAME and then iterates each line of the file and then it will automatically
close FILENAME
