DataTypes in php Data type specifies the type of value a variable requires to do various operations without causing an error.

String
Integer

1. String A string is a sequence of characters that holds letters and numbers. It can be anything written inside single or double quotes. For

<?php

$x ="hello world!";

echo $x;

?>

2. Integer An integer is a non-decimal number typically ranging between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647.
3. Float A float is a number with a decimal point. It can be an exponential number or a fraction.

4. Boolean A Boolean represents two values: True or False.

5. Array Array is a collection of similar data elements stored in a single variable.

6. NULL Null is a special data type with only one value which is NULL. In PHP, if a variable is created without passing a value, it will
automatically assign itself a value of NULL.
