PHP Stand for:


Hyper Text Preprocessor

PHP is a Server Scripting Language, and a


powerful tool for making dynamic and
interactive web pages.
WHAT IS A PHP FILE?

 PHP Files can contain text, HTML , CSS, JavaScript and


PHP Code.

 PHP code is executed on the server , and the result is


returned to the browser as plain HTML

 PHP files have extension “.php”.


WHAT CAN PHP DO?

 PHP can generate dynamic page content.


 PHP can ,open, read ,write, delete and close files on the
server.
 PHP can collect form data.

 PHP can send and receive cookies.

 PHP can be used to control user-access.

 PHP can add, delete, modifying data in your database.

 PHP can encrypt data.


WHY PHP?

 PHP runs an various platforms(Window, Linux , Unix ,


MacOSX ,etc.)
 PHP is compatible with almost all servers used today
(Apache , IIS, etc.)
 PHP supports a wide range of database.

 PHP is free . Download it from the official PHP resource.

 PHP is easy to learn and runs efficiently on the server


side.
PHP DATA TYPES

 String
 Integer

 Float

 Boolean

 Object

 Array

 Null
DEFINITIONS AND EXAMPLES

 PHP String

A string is a sequence of characters, like


“Hello World!”.
Example:-
<?php
$x = “Hello World!”;
echo “$x”;
?>
PHP INTEGER

 An Integer data type is a non-decimal number rules for


integer.
 The PHP var_dump function returns the data type and
value.

Example:
<?php
$a = 100;
Var_dump ($a);
?>
PHP FLOAT

 A Float is a number with a decimal point or a number in


a exponential form.

Example:
<?php
$b = 29.76;
Var_dump ($b);
?>
PHP BOOLEAN

 A Boolean represent two possible states:


True
False

Example;
<?php
$a = 40;
$b = 70;
Var_dump ($a > $b);
?>
PHP ARRAY

 An Array store multiple values in one single variable.

Example:
<?php
$car = array(“Volvo”, “BMW”, “Toyota”);
Var_dump ($car);
?>
PHP OBJECT

 An object is a data which stores data and information on


how to process that data.
PHP NULL

 Null is a specific data type which can have only one


value null.
Example:
<?php
$f = “Hello World”;
$f = null;
Var_dump ($f);
?>
PHP OPERATORS

Operators are used to perform operation on variable and


values.

i. Arithmetic Operators
ii. Assignment Operators
iii. Comparison Operators
iv. Increment / Decrement Operators
v. Logical Operators
vi. String Operators
vii. Array Operators
viii. Conditional assignment Operators
PHP – THE IF STATEMENT

 The if statement executes some code if one condition is true.

Syntax :
If (condition) {
code to be executed if condition is true;
}

Example:
<?php
$a = data(“H”);
if ($a <“20”){
echo “Have a good day!”;
}
?>
PHP –THE IF—ELSE STATEMENT

 The if – else statement executes some code if one condition is true and another condition is
false.

Syntax:
If (condition){
Code to be executed if condition is true;
}else{
Code to be executed if condition is false;
}

Example:
<?php
$a = data(“H”);
if ($a <“20”){
echo “Have a good day!”;
} else{
echo “Have a bad day!”;
}
?>
PHP - THE - IF -ELSE--IF STATEMENT
The if-else--if statement executes different codes for more than one
conditions.

Example:
<?php
$a = data(“H”);
if ($a <“20”){
echo “Have a good day!”;
} else{
echo “Have a bad day!”;
}else if{
echo “Have a good night!”;
}
?>
PHP LOOPS

Often when you write code, you want the some block of
code to run over again a certain number of times , so
instead of adding several almost equal code-lines a script ,
we can use loops.

Loops are use to execute the some block code again as long
as a certain condition is true.
TYPES OF LOOPS

 While-loop: through a block of code as long as the


specified condition is true.

 Do-while-loop: through a block of code once, and then


reports the loop as long as the condition is true.

 For-each-loop: through a block of code of each element


in a array.
PHP WHILE LOOP

The while loop executes a block of code as long as the


specified is true.

Example:
<?php
$x = 1;
while ($x <=5){
echo “The number is $x <br>”;
$x++;}
?>
PHP FUNCTIONS

The real power of PHP comes from its function.

PHP has more than 1000 built-in functions,


and in addition you can create your own
custom functions.
PHP USER DEFINED FUNCTION

Beside the built-in PHP function, possible to create you


own functions.

• A function is a block of statement that can be used


repeatedly in a program.
• A function will not execute automatically when a page
loads.
• A function will be executed by a call to the function.

 NOTE: A function name must start with a letter or an


underscore. Function name are Not case –sensitive.
EXAMPLES:

<?php
Function write Msg() {
echo “Hello World!”;
}
Write Msg();//call the function
?>

Tip: Give the function a name that reflects what the


function does!
PHP FUNCTIONS ARGUMENTS

Information can be passed to function through arguments . An


arguments is just like a variable arguments are specified after the
function name, inside the parenthesis . You can add many arguments
as you want , just separate then with a comma.

Example:
<?php
Function family Name($ fname) {
echo “$ fname Refsnes,<br>”;
}
Family Name(“Jenni”);
Family Name(“Hege”);
Family Name(“Stale”);
?>
PHP GLOBAL VARIABLE SUPER GLOBES
Super global were introduction in PHP 4.1.0, and are built-
in variable that are always available in all scape.

Some predefined variables in PHP are super globes”,


which means that they are always accessible, regardless of
scope- and you can access than from any function , class
or file without having to do anything special.
PHP SUPER GLOBAL VARIABLES
 $GLOBALS
 $_SERVER

 $_REQUEST

 $_POST

 $_GET

 $_FILES

 $_ENV

 $_COOKIE

 $_SESSION
GET VS POST

 Both Get & Post create an array (e.g. array (key1=>


value1, key2=> value2, key3=> value3…)). This array
holds key / values pairs, where keys are the name of the
form controls and values are the input data from the user.

 Both Get & Post are treated as $_GET AND $_POST,


there are super global, which means that they are always
accessible , regardless of scope- and you can access then
from any function , class or file without having to do
anything special.
WHEN TO USE GET?

Information sent from a form with the GET method is


visible to everyone (all variable names and values are
displays in the URL).
GET also has limits to the amount of information to send .
The limitation is about 2000 characters. However , because
the variable are displayed in the URL it is possible to
bookmark the page.

GET may be used for sending non-sensitive data .
