OUTPUT:

PHP Variables
• Variables are used as a container for
values that can be used and manipulate
<?php – opening tag for php script PHP scripts.
; - Statement terminator
?> - closing tag for php script. • Variables in PHP must begin with a $
symbol.

• Variable might contain a string, numbers,

arrays, and objects.

• Setting the identifier for a variable must

follow some rules.
1. First character can be ‘_’ or a letter.
2. It can only contain alpha-numeric
characters and underscore (a-z,A-Z,0-
echo 9,_).
3. Don’t use white space in naming a

output one or more string.
• Variables in PHP is not explicitly
print declared

– is a function also use for outputting • Variables are case sensitive

strings.
Example
PHP Comments $age, $firstName, $totalSalary,
$_myValue, $str1, $tmp01
<?php
//single line comment (C Using ‘ ‘ (pair single quote), “ “ (pair
syntax) double quotes) and . (dot character)
# single line comment (PERL PHP
style)
/* 1. Strings inside the ‘ and ‘ are interpreted
multiline as literal strings
or block 1. To display a ‘ character (single
comments quote) as string use the escape
*/ character \ (backslash).
OUTPUTTING DATA
2. Strings inside the “ and “ are
interpreted as literal strings with some
echo syntax
exceptions
1. $ inside “ and “ are interpreted as
- void echo(string argument1[,…string
variables thus it will display the value
argumentN]
rather than the string that starts with $.
print syntax
2. To display the string that starts with $
and to display the double quote as string
- int print(argument)
use the escape character \ (backslash).
printf syntax
3. To concatenate string values use the .
(Dot or period) character thus
- boolean printf(string format [, mixed
“abc“.”def” yields to a value “abcdef”
args])
Example:
<?php
<?php //using echo
$name = "Juan"; echo "The ABC
echo "$name's alphabet";
Store"." "; echo "", "The ", "ABC ",
echo '"$name\'s "alphabet", "";
Store"'." "; //using print statement
//statements below will print ("The ABC

//echo "displaying double printf("%s", "The ABC

PHP DATATYPES
//string
Datatypes $str = "Welcome to
PHP"; //Welcome to PHP
- is the generic name assigned to any data $str = "do-re-
sharing a common set of characteristics. mi"; //do-re-mi
$str =
Scalar Datatypes "$^expr%!"; //$^expr%!
$str =
- Capable of containing a single item of "123$%^789"; //123$^789
information
- (Boolean, Integer, Float (float, double
or real numbers), String)

Compound Datatypes

- allow for multiple items of the same type

to be aggregated under a single //Boolean
representative entity. $a = true; //$a is true
- (Array and Objects) $a = 1; //$a is true
$a = -1; //$a is true
Scalar Datatypes $a = 1056; //$a is true
$a = 0; //$a is
Example: false
$a = false; //$a is
//Integer false
$a = 13; //13
$a = -12345; //-12345
$a = 012; //10
$a = 0x1A; //26
}
}
$stud = new Student;
$stud-> setName('Roman');
echo $stud->getName();
?>

Compound Datatypes

Example:

<?php
//arrays
$arr_list[0] = "zero";
$arr_list[1] = "one";
$arr_list[2] = "two";
$arr_list[3] = "three";
for($i=0;
$i<count($arr_list); $i++)
echo Output:
$arr_list[$i]." ";
?>

PHP Type Casting Operators

Cast Operators Conversion

(array) Array
(bool) or (Boolean) Boolean
Output: (int) or (integer) Integer
(int64) 64-bit integer

6)
(object) Object
(real) or (double) Float
or (float)
(string) String

<?php Example:
//objects
class Student{ <?php
private $_name; $x = (double) 8;
function setName($name){ echo "$x";
$this->_name = $x = (int) 9.99;
$name; echo "$x";
} $str = "19.00 pesos is the

PREDEFINED TYPE FUNCTIONS

gettype() function
PHP Type Juggling
- returns the type of the variable. Possible
Example: return values are integer, double, boolean,
string, array, object, resource, unknown
<?php types.
$a = 10; prototype:
$b = "20"; string gettype(mixed var)
$c = $a + $b;
settype() function
echo "$c";
- converts a given variable to a specific
$a = "100 apples";
type.
$b = "50 apples";
prototype:
$c = $a + $b; boolean settype(mixed var, string type)
echo "$c apples";

$a = "314e-2";
$b = 100;
$c = $a * $b;
Predefined Type Identifier Functions
is_array(), is_bool(), is_float(),
is_integer(), is_null(), is_numeric(),
is_object(), is_resource(), is_scalar(),
and is_string()

Type Functions

echo "Double: • All variable in PHP must have a dollar
False "; ($) character before its identifier.
} • PHP variables are not explicitly
declared.
if(is_numeric($x)){ • You can use echo, print, or printf function
echo "Numeric: for outputting strings to internet browser.
True "; • You can enclose string using a pair of

echo "Numeric: • String inside a pair of single quotes
False "; interpreted as literal except for the single
} quote itself.
?> • String inside a pair of double quotes
interpreted as literal with some exception
like using dollar character.
• To explicitly display the character on the
internet browser use backslash (\)
character like \$, \’, \” and etc.

PHP Variables print syntax

•Variables are used as a container for
values that can be used and manipulate - int print(argument)
PHP scripts.
•Variables in PHP must begin with a $ printf syntax
symbol.
•Variable might contain a string, numbers, - Boolean printf (string format [, mixed
arrays, and objects. args])
•Setting the identifier for a variable must
follow some rules.
PHP DATATYPES
1.First character can be ‘_’ or a letter.
2.It can only contain alpha-numeric
characters and underscore (a-z,A-Z,0- Datatypes
9,_).
3.Don’t use white space in naming a - is the generic name assigned to any data
variable. sharing a common set of characteristics.
•Variables in PHP is not explicitly declared
•Variables are case sensitive Scalar Datatypes

Example - Capable of containing a single item of

$age, $firstName, $totalSalary, information
$_myValue, $str1, $tmp01 - (Boolean, Integer, Float (float, double

is a characteristic of operators that
determines the order in which they
evaluate the operands surrounding them.
<?php $x = $y = $x = $c;
$price = 450; echo "$x";
$discount = 12; //is also same as
$value = $price - $price * ($x = ($y = ($z = $c))); //right
$discount / 100; to lefts
echo "$value pesos"; echo "$x";
//is the same as ?>
$value = ($price -

comparing two expressions. It is also
known as combined comparison operator.
The spaceship operator returns 0 if both
operands are equal, 1 if the left is greater,
and -1 if the right is greater. It basically
provides three-way comparison as shown
in the following table:

Operator <=> Equivalent CONTROL STRUCTURE

$x < $y ($x <=> $y) === -1
$x <= $y ($x <=> $y) === -1 In simple terms, a control structure allows

your application. Generally, a program is
$x == $y ($x <=> $y) === 0

control structure allows you to alter that

// Comparing Strings

PHP supports a number of different
control structures:
• if
• else
• elseif
• switch
• while
• do - while
• for
• foreach
• and more
Let's take a look at a few of these control
structures with examples.
As you can see in the above diagram, first
a condition is checked. If the condition is Go Through the Different Control

The important thing to note here is that In the previous section, we learned the
code execution continues normally after basics of control structures in PHP and
conditional code execution. their usefulness in application
development. In this section, we'll go
Let's consider the following example. through a couple of important control
structures that you'll end up using
Start >> Check if user is logged in or not frequently in your day-to-day application
>> User is logged in >> Redirect User to development.
My Account Page
If
Start >> Check if user is logged in or not
>> User is not logged in >> Redirect User - The if construct allows you to execute a
to Login Page piece of code if the expression provided
along with it evaluates to true.

- Let's have a look at the following

example to understand how it actually
works.

<?php
$age = 50;
if ($age > 30)
{
echo "Your age is greater than 30!";
}
In the above example, the program checks ?>
whether or not the user is logged in.
Based on the user's login status, they will Output:
be redirected to either the Login page or
the My Account page. In this case, a
control structure ends code execution by
redirecting users to a different page. This
is a crucial ability of the PHP language.
- The above example should output the
Your age is greater than 30! message
since the expression evaluates to true. In
fact, if you want to execute only a single
statement, the above example can be
rewritten as shown in the following snippet
without brackets.

<?php
Else
$age = 50;
- In the previous section, we discussed the
if ($age > 30)
if construct, which allows you to execute a
echo "Your age is greater than 30!";
piece of code if the expression evaluates
?>
to true. On the other hand, if the
expression evaluates to false, it won't do
Output:
anything. More often than not, you also
want to execute a different code snippet if
the expression evaluates to false. That's
where the else statement comes into the
picture.

- You always use the else statement in

conjunction with an if statement. Basically,
you can define it as shown in the following
pseudo code.

if (expression)
- On the other hand, if you have more than {
one statements to execute, you must use // code is executed if the expression
brackets, as shown in the following evaluates to TRUE
snippet. }
else
<?php {
if (is_array($user)) // code is executed if the expression
{ evaluates to FALSE
$user_id = isset($user['user_id']) ? }
$user['user_id'] : '';
$username = isset($user['username']) ? - Let's revise the previous example to
$user['username'] : ''; understand how it works.
// and more statements...
} <?php
?> $age = 50;

if ($age < 30)

{
echo "Your age is less than 30!";
}
else
{
echo "Your age is greater than or equal
30!"; - Again, let's try to understand it using a
} real-world example.
?>
<?php
Output: $age = 50;

if ($age < 30)

{
echo "Your age is less than 30!";
}
elseif ($age > 30 && $age < 40)
{
- So, when you have two choices, and one
echo "Your age is between 30 and 40!";
of them must be executed, you can use }
the if-else construct. elseif ($age > 40 && $age < 50)
{
Else If
echo "Your age is between 40 and 50!";
}
- We can consider the elseif statement as else
an extension to the if-else construct. If {
you've got more than two choices to echo "Your age is greater than 50!";
choose from, you can use the elseif }
statement. ?>
- Let's study the basic structure of the

pseudo code.

Output:
Condition >> Condition is False >> Code

>> Code after loop continues.

- As you can see in the above example,

we want to check the value of the
$favourite_site variable and based on the
value of the $favourite_site variable we
want to print a message.

- For each value you want to check with

the $favourite_site variable, you have to
define the case block. If the value is
while ($max < 10 )
{
$result = $i + $j;
$i = $j;
$j = $result;
$max = $max + 1;
echo $result;
echo ",";
}
?>

Output:
As you can see in the above screenshot, a
loop contains a condition. If the condition
evaluates to true, the conditional code is
executed. After execution of the
conditional code, control goes back to the - If you're familiar with the Fibonacci

echo sprintf("The square of %d is
} while($line !== false); %d.", $i, $i*$i);
} }
fclose($handle); ?>
?>
Output:
In the above example, we're trying to read
a file line by line. Firstly, we've opened a
file for reading. In our case, we're not sure
if the file contains any content at all. Thus,
we need to execute the fgets function at
least once to check if a file contains any
content. So, we can use the do-while loop
here. do-while evaluates the condition
after the first iteration of the loop.

For Loop

- Let's have a look at the syntax of the for For Each

loop.
- The foreach loop is used to iterate over
for (expr1; expr2; expr3) array variables. If you have an array

- The expr1 expression is used to initialize - Let's have a look at a couple of

PHP Arrays

Array

- is used to aggregate a series of similar

items together, arranging and Example 2: Code 2
dereferencing them in some specific way.
<?php
• Each member of the array index $fruit[] = "orange";
references a corresponding value and can $fruit[] = "apple";
be a simple numerical reference to the $fruit[] = "grapes";
value’s position in the series, or it could $fruit[] = "banana";
have some direct correlation to the value. echo "<pre>";
print_r($fruit);
• PHP array does not need to declare how
echo "</pre>";
many elements that the array variable
?>
have.

• Array index in PHP can be also called as

array keys.

• Array can be used as ordinary array

same as in C and C++ arrays.

ARRAY

one dimensional Example: Code 3

Example: Code 1 <?php

$fruit = array("orange",
<?php "apple", "grapes", "banana");
$fruit[0] = "orange"; echo "<pre>";
$fruit[1] = "apple"; print_r($fruit);
$fruit[2] = "grapes"; echo "</pre>";
$fruit[3] = "banana"; ?>
echo "<pre>";
print_r($fruit);
echo "</pre>";
?>
Output:

Output:

Example: using var_dump ()

$fruit = array("orange",
"apple",
Functions for visualizing arrays "grapes",
"banana");
print_r() function - short for print echo "<pre>";
recursive. This takes an argument of any var_dump($fruit);
type and prints it out, which includes echo "</pre>";
printing all its parts recursively.

var_dump() function - is same as the

print_r function except that it prints
additional information about the size and
type of the values it discovers

print_r() and var_dump() functions are

commonly used for debugging. The point
of this of these functions is to help you Output:
visualize what’s going on with compound
data structures like arrays.

Example: using print_r ()

<?php
$fruit = array("orange",
"apple",
"grapes",
"banana"); Looping through array elements
echo "<pre>";
print_r($fruit); foreach() function - is a statement used
echo "</pre>"; to iterate or loop through the element in an
?> array. With each loop, a foreach
statement moves to the next element in an
array.

foreach statement - specify an array

expression within a set of parenthesis
following the foreach keyword.
Syntax
Output:
foreach($arr as $value){
//do something with $value
variable
}
foreach($arr as $key => $value){
//do something with $key
and/or $value variable Example:
}
<?php
$person = array(
'First Name' => 'Juan',
'Last Name' => 'Dela Cruz',
'Date of Birth' => 'April 3,
1986',
'Gender' => 'Male'
$arr - The name of the array that you’re );
walking through.
$key - The name of the variable where foreach($person as $value){
you want to store the key. (optional) echo "$value ";
$value - The name of the variable where }
you want to store the value. echo "";
foreach($person as $key =>
Example: $value){
echo "$key: $value ";
<?php }
$fruit = array( ?>
"orange",
"apple",
"grapes",
"banana",
"dragon fruit");
foreach($fruit as $value){
echo "$value ";
}
?>
}
}
Output: ?>

Multidimensional arrays

Example:

<?php
$person = array(
'Leader' => array(
'First Name' => 'Juan',
'Last Name' => 'Dela
Cruz', Output:
'Date of Birth' =>
'April 3, 1986',
'Gender' => 'Male'),
'Assistant' => array(
'First Name' => 'Rica',
'Last Name' => 'San
Pedro',
'Date of Birth' =>
'January 8, 1980',
'Gender' => 'Female'),
'Member' => array(
'First Name' => 'Jose',
'Last Name' => 'Dela
Paz',
'Date of Birth' =>
'March 2, 1985',
'Gender' => 'Male') Sorting
);
Function Description

}
An array is a data structure that stores one

100 numbers then instead of defining 100 $numbers[1] = "two";
variables its easy to define an array of $numbers[2] = "three";
100 length. $numbers[3] = "four";
$numbers[4] = "five";
There are three different kinds of arrays,
and each array value is accessed using an foreach( $numbers as $value ) {
ID c which is called array index. echo "Value is $value ";
}
?>
echo "Salary of mohammad is ".
</body> $salaries['mohammad'] .
</html> " ";
echo "Salary of qadir is ".
This will produce the following result – $salaries['qadir']. " ";
echo "Salary of zara is ".
Output: $salaries['zara']. " ";

Value is 1 /* Second method to create array. */

Value is 2 $salaries['mohammad'] = "high";

• Prints out the contents of a composite for an automatic assignment of an array's
value (e.g., array). elements into individual variables.
• Unlike var_dump(), this function cannot
print out more than one array. <?php

elements of the main array. methods for sorting arrays.
The simplest ones are:
<?php

asort (array &$vec [, int $sort_flags ])
Calling sort () destroys all keys and
reassign new ones starting from zero.
Calling asort () keeps the keys
unchanged.

- This is the default. Sorting will be

performed according to elements' values
and without introducing any change.

SORT_NUMERIC

- Each element's value will be first

converted into a numeric value. The
sorting will be according to these numeric
values.

SORT_STRING

- Sorting will be according to the elements'

values converted into strings.

rsort () function

- sorts an array in a reverse order.

- removes all elements' keys and assign
new ones.

Arrays as Stacks
The array_push () and array_pop ()
functions enable us to use an array as a
stack.
int array_push (array &$array, mixed
$var [, mixed $...])
This function pushes the passed values
onto the end of the array. The array's
length is increased by the number of the
passed variables. This function returns the
number of elements, the array has.
mixed array_pop (array &$array)
This function returns the last value of the
array and shorten its length by one.

Arrays as Sets
The array_intersect () function returns
an array containing all the values of
array1 that are present in all other arrays.
The keys are preserved.

Arrays Constants
PHP 5.6 added the possibility to define
array constants using the const keyword.
As of PHP 7 we can define array
constants using the define () function.

<?php
define('IMAGE_TYPES', ['jpg', 'jpeg',
Array Dereferencing 'png', 'gif']);
foreach(IMAGE_TYPES as $v) {
- As of PHP 5.5 it is possible to echo "<h2>".$v."</h2>";
dereference the array directly. }
echo "<h1>".IMAGE_TYPES[0]."</h1>";
<?php ?>
echo ["david","anat","limor","ilana"][0];
?> Output:

Result: david

As of PHP 5.5 we can develop a function

that returns an array and use a call to that
function as if it was an array.

The ?? Operator
The ?? operator, that was introduced in
PHP 7, is also known as the isset ternary
operator, is a shorthand notation for
performing isset () checks in the ternary
operator.

This new operator assists us with those

cases in which we need to check whether
the array we work with has a specific key PHP FUNCTIONS
so we could use its value and if not, then
another value will be used instead. The real power of PHP comes from its
functions.
$vec = PHP has more than 1000 built-in
['a'=>'abba','b'=>'baba','m'=>'mama']; functions, and in addition you can create
//before PHP7 your own custom functions.
//$temp =
isset($vec['d'])?$vec['d']:'default'; PHP Built-in Functions
$temp = $vec['d']??'default'; PHP has over 1000 built-in functions

Create a User Defined Function in PHP
A user-defined function declaration The following example has a function with
starts with the word function: one argument ($fname). When the
familyName () function is called, we also
Syntax pass along a name (e.g., Jani), and the
name is used inside the function, which
function functionName() { outputs several different first names, but
code to be executed; an equal last name:
}
Example
Note: A function name must start with a
letter or an underscore. Function names <?php
are NOT case-sensitive. function familyName($fname) {
echo "$fname Refsnes. ";
Tip: Give the function a name that reflects }
what the function does! familyName("Jani");
familyName("Hege");
In the example below, we create a function familyName("Stale");
named "writeMsg ()". The opening curly familyName("Kai Jim");
brace ( { ) indicates the beginning of the familyName("Borge");
function code, and the closing curly brace ?>
( } ) indicates the end of the function. The
function outputs "Hello world!". To call Output:
the function, just write its name followed
by brackets ():

Example

<?php
function writeMsg() {
echo "Hello world!";
} The following example has a function
writeMsg(); // call the function with two arguments ($fname and

Output: Example

<?php
function familyName($fname, $year) {
echo "$fname Refsnes. Born in $year
 ";
}
familyName("Hege", "1975");
familyName("Stale", "1978"); In the following example we try to send
familyName("Kai Jim", "1983"); both a number and a string to the function,
?> but here we have added the strict
declaration:
Output:
Example

<?php declare(strict_types=1); // strict

In the example above, notice that we did echo addNumbers(5, "5 days");

In the following example we try to send requirement
both a number and a string to the function function setHeight(int $minheight = 50)
without using strict: {
echo "The height is : $minheight
Example ";
}
<?php setHeight(350);
function addNumbers(int $a, int $b) { setHeight(); // will use the default value
return $a + $b; of 50
} setHeight(135);
echo addNumbers(5, "5 days"); setHeight(80);
// since strict is NOT enabled "5 days" ?>
is changed to int(5), and it will
return 10
?>

To specify strict we need to set declare

(strict_types=1);. This must be on the
very first line of the PHP file.
Output: function addNumbers(float $a, float $b)
: float {
return $a + $b;
}
echo addNumbers(1.2, 5.2);
?>

PHP Functions – Returning values. Output:

To let a function, return a value, use the
return statement:

Example
You can specify a different return type,
<?php declare(strict_types=1); // strict than the argument types, but make sure
requirement the return is the correct type:
function sum(int $x, int $y) {
$z = $x + $y; Example
return $z;
} <?php declare(strict_types=1); // strict
echo "5 + 10 = " . sum(5, 10) . " "; requirement
echo "7 + 13 = " . sum(7, 13) . " "; function addNumbers(float $a, float $b)
echo "2 + 4 = " . sum(2, 4); : int {

PHP USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS

Functions

- is a group of PHP statements that

performs a specific task. Functions are
designed to allow you to reuse the same
code in different locations.

User defined functions

- functions that are provided by the user of

the program.

include() function (file not found)

Including Files Example:

You can separate your PHP file and
embed it to your html by using PHP <html>
include functions. <head>
<title></title>
Include functions Description <meta http-equiv="Content-
include Includes and Type" content="text/html;
evaluates the charset_UTF-8">
specified file. </head>
Generate a <body>
warning on failure <?php

require Performs the same <h4>Content</h4>
way as the include The quick brown fox jumps
function. Generate over the lazy dog near the bank of
a fatal error the rivers
message if file not </body>
found stopping the </html>
script
include_once Same as include
function except it
includes the file
only once.
require_once Same as require
function except it
includes the file
only once. Output:

Most of the developers used include

functions for their header and footer. Also,
some use this to write their database
connection and so on.

You may write the file with an extension require() function (file not found)
name of .inc rather than .php to serve as a
fragment of your program code. Example:

In some scripts, a file might be included <html>

more than once, causing function
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-
Type" content="text/html;
charset_UTF-8">
</head>
header.inc
<body>
<?php
require("somefile.inc")?>
<h4>Content</h4> Output:
The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog near the bank of
the rivers

array_reverse($arr)
// using array_map to operate on all the
values stored in array - This function is used to reverse the order

rearranging other array elements.
- This function is used to create a subset
<?php of any array. Using this function, we define
$num = array(10, 20, 30, 40, 50); the starting point ($offset, which is the
