php 的代码看不懂怎么破

静态方法,引用传递,正则替换,还有用0,1,2,3表示页面类型…..我真的看蒙圈了,
<?php

        if (!$byField && is_numeric($v)){ // by ID
            $r=$fromRow?$fromRow:($v?dbRow("select * from pages where id=$v limit 1"):array());
        }
        else if ($byField == 1){ // by name
            $name=strtolower(str_replace('-','_',$v));
