DataTypes in php

Data type specifies the type of value a variable requires to do various operations
without causing an error. By default, PHP provides the following built-in data
types:

String
Integer
Float
Boolean
Array
NULL

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 Example:

<?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.

<?php
$x = 55;
var_dump($x);
?>

3. Float
A float is a number with a decimal point. It can be an exponential number or a
fraction.

<?php
$x = 52.55;
var_dump($x);
?>

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

<?php
$x = true;
$y = false;
?>

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

<?php
$x =array("Rohan", "Lovish", "Harry");
var_dump($x);
?>

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.

<?php
$x =null;
?>
