Inline Styles: 10. Compare Inline, Embedded and External Style Sheet With Example
Inline Styles: 10. Compare Inline, Embedded and External Style Sheet With Example
External Styles
External styles (sometimes called linked styles or remote styles) are the least important in
the cascading order*, but the most powerful! An external style is simply a link placed in
the HEAD section of your web page to a separate file containing your style rules. The
primary advantage of using external styles is that you can change that one external file,
and have that change reflected on every page of your site that links to the external CSS
file. Any or all methods of implementing CSS can be used on the same page.
<head>
...
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="external-styles.css" />
...
</head>
...
<p id="externalExample">External style example</p>

03. Write a sample code demonstrating block level and alignment tags in HTML.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML div Tag</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- First group of tags -->
<div style = "color:red">
<h4>This is first group</h4>
<p>Following is a list of vegetables</p>
<ul>
<li>Beetroot</li>
<li>Ginger</li>
<li>Potato</li>
<li>Radish</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Apple</li>
<li>Banana</li>
<li>Mango</li>
<li>Strawberry</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Beetroot
Ginger
Potato
Radish
This is second group
Apple
Banana
Mango
Strawberry
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="binary();"></body>
</html>
29. Demonstrate with suitable example PHP session and PHP cookie.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is often used to identify a user. A cookie is a small file that the server embeds on the
user's computer. Each time the same computer requests a page with a browser, it will send the
cookie too. With PHP, you can both create and retrieve cookie values.
Syntax
setcookie(name, value, expire, path, domain, secure, httponly);
Only the name parameter is required. All other parameters are optional.
PHP Create/Retrieve a Cookie
The following example creates a cookie named "user" with the value "John Doe". The cookie
will expire after 30 days (86400 * 30). The "/" means that the cookie is available in entire
website (otherwise, select the directory you prefer).
We then retrieve the value of the cookie "user" (using the global variable $_COOKIE). We also
use the isset() function to find out if the cookie is set:
Example
<?php
$cookie_name = "user";
$cookie_value = "John Doe";
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, time() + (86400 * 30), "/"); // 86400 = 1 day
?>
<html>
<body>
<?php
if(!isset($_COOKIE[$cookie_name])) {
echo "Cookie named '" . $cookie_name . "' is not set!";
} else {
echo "Cookie '" . $cookie_name . "' is set!<br>";
echo "Value is: " . $_COOKIE[$cookie_name];
}
?>
</body>
</html>
PHP Sessions
❮ PreviousNext ❯
A session is a way to store information (in variables) to be used across multiple pages.
When you work with an application, you open it, do some changes, and then you close it. This is
much like a Session. The computer knows who you are. It knows when you start the application
and when you end. But on the internet there is one problem: the web server does not know who
you are or what you do, because the HTTP address doesn't maintain state.
Session variables solve this problem by storing user information to be used across multiple pages
(e.g. username, favorite color, etc). By default, session variables last until the user closes the
browser.
So; Session variables hold information about one single user, and are available to all pages in
one application.
Tip: If you need a permanent storage, you may want to store the data in a database.
Session variables are set with the PHP global variable: $_SESSION.
Now, let's create a new page called "demo_session1.php". In this page, we start a new PHP
session and set some session variables:
Example
<?php
// Start the session
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
// Set session variables
$_SESSION["favcolor"] = "green";
$_SESSION["favanimal"] = "cat";
echo "Session variables are set.";
?>
</body>
</html>
