<p>CodeIgniter uses a few functions for its operation that are globally defined, and are available to you at any point. These do not require loading any libraries or helpers.</p>
+<h2>is_php('<var>version_number</var>')</h2>
+
+<p>is_php() determines of the PHP version being used is greater than the supplied <var>version_number</var>.</p>
+
+<code>if (is_php('5.3.0'))<br />
+{<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$str = quoted_printable_encode($str);<br />
+}</code>
+
+<p>Returns boolean <kbd>TRUE</kbd> if the installed version of PHP is equal to or greater than the supplied version number. Returns <kbd>FALSE</kbd> if the installed version of PHP is lower than the supplied version number.</p>

<h2>is_really_writable('<var>path/to/file</var>')</h2>
<p>is_writable() returns TRUE on Windows servers when you really can't write to the file as the OS reports to PHP as FALSE only if the read-only attribute is marked. This function determines if a file is actually writable by attempting to write to it first. Generally only recommended on platforms where this information may be unreliable.</p>
