Thank you very much, one small notice you should remove the comma in the last line
so this code wont result in to a parsing error 
Cheers.
In PHP it’s perfectly valid to have a comma after the last element in an array. I actually find it makes my code far less prone to errors.
I am really thankful to you for this list. It is really helpful
USELESS! COPYING WITH LINE NUMBERS!
In the top right, there’s an option to view text only.
Thankyou for saving me an hour of work!

Do not criticize something you do not know to use
Great thanks very much for this
@asd = retard!
