Introduction to PHP
PHP is a popular server-side
scripting language designed for
web development. It stands for
Hypertext Preprocessor and
allows for dynamic content
creation. This presentation will
explore its features, data types,
syntax, and much more to help
you master PHP.
What is PHP?
PHP Hypertext Preprocessor)is a widely-used
open-source server-side scripting language
primarily designed for web development. It can be
embedded directly within HTML and is especially
suited for creating dynamic and interactive
websites. PHP is known for its ease of use,
flexibility, and compatibility with various databases
and platforms..
Key Features of PHP
Cross-Platform: Runs on various operating systems like
Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Server-Side Scripting: Executes on the server, generating
dynamic web content.
Extensive Library Support: Built-in libraries for tasks like
encryption, file handling, and more.
Object-Oriented Programming: Supports OOP concepts for
better code organization and reuse.
Error Handling: Provides robust error handling mechanisms
for debugging.
Security: Built-in features to prevent common web
vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, etc.).
Flexible and Dynamic: Easily integrates with HTML, CSS,
JavaScript, and other web technologies
PHP Versions
1. PHP 1.0 (1995): Initial release by Rasmus Lerdorf, simple tools for tracking
web page visitors.PHP 2.0 (1997): Known as PHP/FI, added basic
functionality for dynamic web development.
2. PHP 5.x (2004-2014): Introduced Zend Engine 2.0, improved OOP
support, PDO, and several enhancements like traits, generators, and a
built-in web server.
3. PHP 7.x (2015-2019): Major performance boost with Zend Engine 3.0,
scalar type declarations, return types, ?? (null coalescing), and [] syntax.
4. PHP 8.0 (2020): Introduced JIT ( Just-In-Time) compiler, union types,
named arguments, match expressions, and the nullsafe operator (?->).
5. PHP 8.2 (2022): Introduced readonly classes, true as a standalone type,
dynamic properties deprecation, and constant improvements.
6. PHP 8.3 (2023): Focus on improving performance and minor syntax
enhancements.
Syntax and Structure
PHP code is written inside <?php ----?> tags and can be
embedded in HTML. Every PHP statement ends with a
semicolon ;

Variables
Variables in PHP start with asign, followed by the name of the
variable. PHP is loosely typed, so variables can store any type
of data.
Print and Echo
andare used to output data to the browser.

Identifiers
Identifiers are names used to identify variables,
functions, classes, and other entities in PHP. They must
start with a letter or an underscore (_) and can be
followed by letters, numbers, or underscores. Identifiers
are case-sensitive.
1. Valid Identifiers: $variable, $_count, $myVariable1
2. Invalid Identifiers: 1variable, $my-variable (contains
hyphen)
Constants
Constants are identifiers for simple values that cannot
be changed once defined. They are defined using
thefunction or thekeyword.
Code Output
Data Types
PHP supports various data types including:
String ("Hello, World!")
Integer (42)
Float (3.14)
Boolean (true or false)
Array ([1, 2, 3])
Object (instance of a class)
NULL (no value)
Functions in PHP
Functions in PHP are blocks of code that perform specific
tasks and can be reused.
Control Structures
Control structures in PHP, such
as if, else, and loops, allow you to
control the flow of your program.
Understanding how to effectively
use these structures is crucial for
creating dynamic applications.
Conclusion

Mastering PHP involves


understanding its features, data
types, and syntax. With practice
and adherence to best practices,
you can create robust web
applications. Continue exploring
PHP to enhance your skills and
career opportunities.
