Hi there,

I'm looking for a nice function reference for VHDL. When I need a
function for something in, saaay, PHP, I go here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/funcref.php and find a function I need in
no time just by looking in right category. Where do I go when I need a
function in VHDL?

You must search for IP blocks, and you may use them as a black box.
Opencores has lots of cores there (google for it).

Some people build their libraries with "most used stuff" (like sync
flip-flops, counters, memories...) with parameterizable code. They do a
group of entities (or cores, black boxes)

A "function point of view" about vhdl is not the common use and most
HDL engineers dislike the use of functions and variables. You might get
a good VHDL syntax reference, Cores, but never heard of functions.

VHDL is a lot more than just "functions". If, by contrast, you
mean "language features", people seem to like our
Golden Reference Guide:
http://www.doulos.com/content/produc...nce_guides.php
But I'm afraid we want money for it :-(

A look at this group's FAQs will provide links to some other
resources, many of them free.

Your simulator's help files probably have some kind of quick reference
listing of the main IEEE libraries.

Not sure what you want, but here is a good VHDL Windows help file:
