Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Safe Function Call

No.
The functions provided by this plugin provide a more concise syntax for checking for function existence (but they do use function_exists()/method_exists() under the hood). _sfce() will both echo and return the echoed value, which may be of use in certain circumstances. And also, since the callback to be safely called is passed as an argument, it can be easily and more concisely parameterized.
Yes, if you make direct use of one of this plugin's functions and then deactivate the plugin, you will likely encounter an error.
Yes. The tests are not packaged in the release .zip file or included in plugins.svn.wordpress.org, but can be found in the plugin's GitHub repository.
