[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: 11.php should be name of the file

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Good this is how to create a file

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: localhost/myproject/11.php

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Ok try and create as many files as you can

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: We will start the coding tomorrow

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Will you mind if I give you lecture now?

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *Basic Tags In Php Programming Language*

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *1.* First you will need to type the following codes in your html
program in between body tags as;

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Open a php.11 and type html it will complete the rest of the tag for
you
[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Here is the code

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *Note* every php program start with <?php as open tag and end
with. ?>

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: <!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>my document title</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

your content here

?>

</body>

</html>

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Let me see when you're done

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: After you type those codes you can now go ahead and start your
programming using php language, for instance.

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Every time your using php make sure your xampp is on

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Now, replace your name with this <?php

php info();

?>

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Run

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Every time your running php

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Click on the my project folder

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Just type localhost on your browser

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: From browser


[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Change the program to

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: echo "hello world";

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Inside thevtwg

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: The tag

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: echo means print

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: To that case it will produce all information about php installed into
that computer

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: You're doing well

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Try and practice this before I come back from meeting

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: You can change the hello world with anything you like

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: $name="philloh";

echo "my name is $name";

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Let’s now look at the variables- is a symbol or name that stands for
a value, for example to use variables you will type the following in between php tags.

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: $name="Aminu";

$school="schoolname".

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: I want you to follow this format and declare a variable with your
details

1. Name

2. School

3. Department

4. Course
And others

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: But first declare the variable before you echo them

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: After then you use echo to print them

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *Use Of Arrays In Php Language*

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: To add comment in php program you will have to use, // forward
slashes or # before your content as // echo “hello world”; the text will appear as a comment. But if you
wish to enclose a certain text you will type this; /* your content */ all content between those signs will
appear as a comment.

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Variables always starts with a letter A-z or underscore (_) then
followed by other letters or numbers. For instance, $9name is not valid but this $_9name is valid.

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *For instance;*

<?php

$cars=array("BMW","AUDI","MERCEDEZ");

echo $cars[1];

?>

It will output AUDI

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *Definition*

First we do you ask yourself what an array? Array– is a data structure that contains a group of elements,
typically these elements are all of the same data type, such as an integer or a string, arrays are
commonly used in computer programs to organize data so that a related set of values can be easily
sorted or searched. Then you start numbering your arrays from zero (0) and then numbering continues.

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *ASSOCIATE ARRAYS*

As the name suggests you associate your arrays with their values for instanceare you may associate a
certain car with its average speed it moves with. You associate arrays with use of this sigh equal or
greater than(=>) For example;

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: echo $cars[2]?

echo $cars[3]?
[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *MULTIDIMENSIONAL ARRAYS*

As the name suggests this type of makes one use multiple arrays in the same program code, for
instance,

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: <?php

$cars=array("Audi"=>40.25,"BMW"=>34.78,"Mercedes"=>50.75);

//to output the average speed for Mercedes you will type this

echo $cars["Mercedes"];

?>

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: <?php

$cars=array("expensive"=>array("Audi", "Mercedes", "BMW"), "inexpensive"=>array(Toyota", "Suzuki",


"ford"));

echo $cras["expensive"][1];

?>

It will output

Mercedes

You may using other values and see the results for better understanding

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *Use Of Operators In PHP Programming Language*

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: In our last lecture we discussed use of arrays in php programming
language; now we are going deeper into php programming language as we will be discussing very basic
part of it which is various types of operators used.

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: each programming language there is use of operators which are
categorized as below;

*1. Arithmetic operators*

*2. Assignment operators*


*3. Comparison operators*

*4. Logical operators*

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: We will now discuss each in detail;

*Arithmetic operators*

addition (+)

subtraction (-)

multiplication (*)

division (/)

percentage (%)

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: for instance, a syntax for arithmetic operators; remember the
codes should be written in between php tags,

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Assignment operators

add and assign (+=)

subtract and assign (-=)

multiply and assign (*=)

divide and assign (/=)

concatenate and assign (.=)

for instance, let’s have a syntax for assignment operators

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: <body>

<?php

$x=5;

$y=6;

$total=$x+$y;

echo $total

?>
</body>

It will produce 11

You may use different operator and variable and try it yourself

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: For instance, let’s have a syntax for a comparison operator,

<body>

<?php

$x=10;

$y=7;

if($x>&y){

echo "this is true";

}else{

echo "this is false";

?>

</body>

It will produce this is true

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *Comparison operator*

These operators are used to compare different variables as per the condition; they include;

Greater than (>)

Less than (<)


Less than or equal to (<=)

Greater than or equal to (>=)

Equal (==)

Not equal (!=)

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: <body>

<?php

$x=5;

$y=6;

echo $x-=$y;

?>

</body>

It will produce -1

You may use different variables and operator and try it yourself

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: Logical operators

They include;

Pre-increment (++$x)

Post-increment ($x++)

Pre-decrement (–$x)

Post-decrement ($x–)

And/&&- both x and are true

Or/||- either x or y are true

Xor- either x or y are both not true


!- true if x is not true

[12/17, 6:25 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: For instance, let’s have a syntax for logical operators,

<body>

<?php

$x10;

echo $x-;

echo "<br>";

echo $x;

?>

</body>

It will produce 9

You may use different operator and variable and try it yourself.

[12/17, 6:27 AM] Al AMEEN CYPRUS: *Assignment*

1. Create two variables(x,y) add them ad multiply answer by 6. Print your answer as a variable ‘z’.

2. Define two variables(name,age) and print out in form of a statement telling us your name and age.

3. Create an array that shows capital cities of any 3 countries.

4. Create two variables(price,vat). Create a new variable ‘totalPrice’ then calculate the vat on the price
and print out the(vat,price,total Price).
