1- Header function

- We can use the header function to redirect the browser to a specific website :

header("Location: Website URL");

Example:

<html><body><?php
header("Location: http://www.uob-bh.com/forum/forum.php"); ?>
</body></html>

- We can Use it to disable cashing by two different ways:

header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");


header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 2008 05:00:00 GMT");

Examples:

<html><body>
<?php
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); ?>
</body></html>

<html><body>
<?php
header("Expires: Mon, 20 May 2009 05:01:00 GMT"); ?>
</body></html>

Note: Use any date in the past

2- PHP Server Variables


 HTTP_REFERER :When a web browser moves from one website to another
and between pages of a website, it can optionally pass the URL it came from.
This is called the HTTP_REFERER.

$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]

Done by: Abeer(www.UOB-BH.com)


Example:

<?php
echo "Referer: " . $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] . "<br />";
?>

 HTTP_USER_AGENT: This can tell us more about the user's operating


system, as well as their browser

$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]

Example:

<?php
echo "Browser: " . $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] . "<br />";
?>

 REMOTE_ADDR : gives the IP address :

$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]

Example:

<?php
echo "User's IP address: " . $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] ; ?>

3- Split: we use it If we want to split on any of the characters which are considered
special by regular expressions

Note: explode function do the same job

split("the special character", variableName);


explode("the special character", variableName);

Done by: Abeer(www.UOB-BH.com)


Example:

<html><body>
<?php
$my="1/22/33";
$arr=split ("/", $my);
echo ($my."<br />");
foreach ($arr as $value)
echo ("Date Portion: " . $value . "<br />");
?>
</body></html>

4- GLOBALS: a global variable can be accessed in any part of the program, just
write:

$GLOBALS['variableName']

 To create a global variable anywhere in the program write:

global $variableName;

Example:

<html><body>
<?php
$a=1;
$b=2;
$c=3;

function multi()
{
$GLOBALS['a']=$GLOBALS['a']*$GLOBALS['b']*$GLOBALS['c'];
}
multi();
echo $a;
?>

</body></html>

array_push($colors, 'pink');
print_r($colors);
?>
</body></html>

6- Pop: to remove an element from the end :

print_r($colors);
?>
</body></html>

7- Shift: to remove the first element in the array

<html><body>
<?php
$colors=array('red', 'blue' , 'black' );
array_unshift($colors,'pink');
print_r($colors);
?>
</body></html>

9- Implode: we use it to join the elements with a specific character or string:

implode (' the character or string ' ,$arrayName)

Example:

<?php
$colors=array('red', 'blue' , 'black' );
$new=implode(';',$colors);

</body></html>

11- rsort: to sort the elements alphabetically in revers:

rsort ($arrayName,);

<html><body>
<?php
$colors=array('red', 'blue' , 'black' );
rsort($colors);
print_r($colors);

</body></html>

12- is_array : is used to find whether a variable is an array or not

Is_array ($arrayName,);

Done by: Abeer(www.UOB-BH.com)

$var_name=array('A','B','C');
if (is_array($var_name))
echo 'This is an array....';
else
echo 'This is not an array....';
?>
</body></html>

13- Count: used for count the number or elements in the array
( gives the array size )

count ($arrayName);

<html><body>
<?php
$var_name=array('A','B','C');
for ($i=0 ; $i<count($var_name) ; $i++)
echo $var_name[$i];
?>
</body></html>

14- isset, empty and is_null: used to test the value of a variable.

- Isset: it returns true only when the variable is not null.


- Empty: it will return true if the variable is an empty string, false, array (),
NULL, "0"and for an unset variable.
- Is_null: it returns true only when the variable is null. is_null() is opposite of
isset().

Isset ($variableName or ArrayName);

Empty ($variableName or ArrayName);

is_null ($variableName or ArrayName);

unset($xyz);

17- Include & require :In PHP, you can insert the content of one PHP file into another
PHP file before the server executes it.

include and require statements are used to insert useful codes written in other files, in
the flow of execution.

Note: Include and require are identical, except upon failure:

 require will produce a fatal error (E_COMPILE_ERROR) and stop the script
 include will only produce a warning (E_WARNING) and the script will continue

include("filename");
require ("filename");

Example:

<html><body>
<?php
include("p1.php");
?>
</body></html>

date("m"),date("d"),date("y")-1);
echo "tomorrow is ".date("d/m/y",$tomorrow) ."<br/>";
echo "yesterday is ".date("d/m/y",$yesterday)."<br/>";
