PHP Basics: Code Blocks
Code Blocks:
 Standard Tags: <?php ...... ?>
 Short Tags: <?........ ?>
 ASP Tags: <%.....%> (Removed from php 7.0)
 Script Tags
 <script language=“PHP”></script> (Removed from PHP 7.0)

 Constructs are elements that are built-into the language.
 Echo
 Echo 10;
 Every statement ends with semi colon.

Comments
 Single line comments –
// this is a single line comment
# this is a single line comment
 Multi Line Comments - /* ….. */
/* This is a Multi line comment
*/
PHP Basics: Data Types
Data Types:
 Scalar Data types
 Integer (Signed)
 String
 Float (floating point numbers - also called double)
 Boolean
 Composite
 Arrays
 Objects
 NULL
 Resource
PHP Basics: Data Types
Data Types:
 Integer examples:
 echo 10;
 echo -123;
 echo 066;
 echo 0xFF;
 Floating Point
 echo 10.2;
 echo 0.009;
 echo 2E7;
 echo 1e2;
PHP Basics: Data Types
Data Types:
 String examples:
 echo “ String in double quotes”;
 echo ‘ string in single quotes’;
 Boolean
 True or False;
 Composite Data types
 Arrays
 Objects
 Null
 Resource
PHP Basics: Variables
 PHP is a loosely typed language
 Variables are storage container in memory
 Variables are identified with $ sign:
 $firstname = “Jibril”;
 $lastname = “Ahmed”;
 Valid variables:
 [a-zA-Z], numbers, underscores
 Variable variable
 contents of variable to reference a new variable
PHP Basics: Variables
PHP String
Difference between single qoutes
and double quotes :
 String examples:
 echo “ String in double quotes”;
 echo ‘ string in single quotes’;
 Combination
 Echo with single qoutes
 Echo with double qoutes
 Use curly brackets / braces to split
from other text.
 {$color} examlpe:
PHP Variables - Global and Local Scope
 In PHP, variables can be declared anywhere in the script.
 The scope of a variable is the part of the script where the variable can be
referenced/used.
 PHP has three different variable scopes:
 local
 global
 Static
 A variable declared outside a function has a GLOBAL SCOPE and can only be accessed
outside a function.
 A variable declared within a function has a LOCAL SCOPE and can only be accessed
within that function.
 The global keyword is used to access a global variable from within a function.
 To do this, use the global keyword before the variables (inside the function)
PHP String combine with dot

 Add variable to variable or combine variable with dot


PHP String uppercase / lowercase function

 Returns:
PHP String functions
PHP Basics: Variables
 Variables existence
 Isset (boolean)

<?php

$var = '';
// This will evaluate to TRUE so the text will be printed.
if (isset($var)) {
echo "This var is set so I will print.";
} ?>
 Destroying
 unset
 Constants (are not allowed to be redefined)
 define(“country", “United States");
echo country;
 define("MAXSIZE", 100);
echo MAXSIZE;
PHP Basics: Operators
Operators are the catalysts of operations:
 Assignment Operators =
 Arithmetic Operators + - / * %
 String Operators .
 Comparison Operators < > <= >= Ternary operator
 Logical Operators && || ! XOR
 Bitwise Operators | & XOR NOT
 Error Control Operators
 Incrementing / Decrementing Operators ++ --
 Typeof

Operators: Increment / Decrement
 // Assign the integer 1 to $a
 $a = 1;

 // Outputs 1, $a is now equal to 2


 echo $a++;

 // Outputs 3, $a is now equal to 3


 echo ++$a;

 // Outputs 2, $a is now equal to 2


 echo --$a;

 // Outputs 2, $a is now equal to 1


 echo $a--;
Operators: Arithmetic Operators
 Addition
 $a = 1 + 3.5;
 Subtraction
 $a = 4 - 2;
 Multiplication
 $a = 8 * 3;
 Division
 $a = 15 / 5;
 Modulus
 $a = 23 % 7;
Concatenation - Assignment Operator
 $string = “PHP" . “MySql";
 $string2 = “Zend";
 $string .= $string2;
 echo $string;
 Will print: PHP MySql Zend

PHP Basics: Operator Precedence
 $x = 9 + 1 * 10
 Expecting result 100 but getting 19 – Multiplication has higher precedence

Highest Precedence
*/%
+-.
< <= > >= &&
||
And
Xor or
Lowest precedence
PHP Basics: Escape Sequences
 \" Print the next character as a double quote, not a string closer
 \' Print the next character as a single quote, not a string closer
 \n Print a new line character (remember our print statements?)
 \t Print a tab character
 \r Print a carriage return (not used very often)
 \$ Print the next character as a dollar, not as part of a variable
 \\ Print the next character as a backslash, not an escape character
 $MyString = "This is an \"escaped\" string";
 $MySingleString = 'This \'will\' work';
 $MyNonVariable = "I have \$marks in my pocket";
 $MyNewline = "This ends with a line return\n";
 $MyFile = "c:\\windows\\system32\\myfile.txt";
