BASIC SYNTAX AND COMMANDS. A PHP scripting block always starts with <?php and ends with ?>.

A PHP scripting block can be placed anywhere in the document. A PHP file normally contains HTML tags, just like an HTML file, and some PHP scripting code. Example: <?php Print " hei"; ?> output: The above php script will send the text "hei" to the browser. 1.Each code line in PHP must end with a semicolon. 2.The file must have a .php extension. If the file has a .html extension, the PHP code will not be executed. Comments in php: In PHP, we use // to make a single-line comment or /* and */ to make a large comment block. Declaring a variable: All variables in PHP start with a $ sign symbol.In PHP, a variable does not need to be declared before adding a value to it.A variable name should not contain spaces. Syntax: $var_name=value; Example: <?php $x=7; print"$x"; ?> output: The above script will create one variable containing a number. The Concatenation Operator: The concatenation operator (.) is used to put two string values together. <?php $x="hei!! "; $y="how are you"; print "$x"."$y"; ?>

The strlen() function: Finds the length of the string. Example: <?php $x= hei.wassup?; print "strlen($x)"; ?> The output of the code will be: 11 The strpos() function: This function will return the position of the character to be searched for, within a string. Example: <?php $x= "national institute"; Print "strpos($x, "institute")"; The output will be: 9
