    You probably mean, "For all intents and purposes..."  This phrase is used in a number of ways.  When speaking legally, it means that something will be binding in most situations.  When used in conversation, it can mean that something is accepted to be true in most situations.  It's not a commonly used phrase outside of legal conversations in my opinion.
