Basic PHP Syntax

<?php // PHP code goes here?>
The default file extension for PHP files is .PHP.

</body>
</html>
PHP DATA TYPES
1. String:
 A string is a sequence of characters.
 It contains number, letter or symbol.
 A string can be any text inside quotes.
 We can use single or double quotes.
 String is followed by a symbol.
Examples:
$x=“My college”;
$y=‘My college’;
2. PHP interger
 An integer data type is a non decimal number.
 It may be positive or negative number.
 Integer may be 1009, 45254, 952, -54625 etc.
 $ is used for any variable like integer, float,
string, otherwise syntax error will be occurred.
Example:
$x=1234;
3. PHP float:
 A float is a number with a decimal point or a
number in exponential form.
 It may be positive or negative.
 The float data type can commonly store a
value up to maximum precision of 14 digits.
i.e. 1.12345678912345.
Example:
$x=14.1414;
4. PHP Boolean
 A Boolean represents two possible states:
TRUE or FALSE.
 Generally, it is used for conditional testing.
Example:
$x=true;
$y=false;
5. PHP Array:
 An array stores multiple values in one single
variable.
 “array” is a keyword used for PHP array.
Example:
$cars=array(“Hundia”, ”BMW”, ”Toyata”);
Here $cars is an array which stores three values.
6. PHP Object:
 An object is a data type which stores data and information on how to process that data.
 In PHP, an object must be explicitly declared.
 First we declare the class of object. For this, we use the class and $this keyword.
 A class is a structure that can contain properties and methods.
Example:
<?php
Class Car
{
function Car()
$this->model=“VW”;
}
// create an object
$bie=new Car();

// show object properties


Echo $->model
?>
7. PHP NULL Value
 A variable of data type.
 Null is a variable that has no value assigned to it.
 Null is a special data type which can have only one
value: NULL
Example:
<?php
$x=“hello world”;
$x=null;
Var_dump($x);
?>
PHP Variables:
 Variables are used to store information.
 Information may be string, numeric or symbols.
Rules for PHP variables:
 A variables starts with the $ sign, followed by the name of
variable.
 A variable name must start with a letter of the underscore
character.
 A variable name cannot start with a number.
 A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters
and underscores
 Variable names are case sensitive.
Declaration of PHP variables:
<html>
.
.
<body>
<?php
$txt=“hello world”;
$x=5;
$y=1.5;
// for displaying the output

echo $txt;
echo”<br>”;
echo $x;
echo”<br>”;
echo $y;
?>
</body>
ECHO AND PRINT
Echo
• Echo is a statement i.e used to display the output. it can be
used with parentheses echo or without parentheses echo.
• Echo can pass multiple string separated as ( , )
• Echo doesn't return any value
• Echo is faster then print
Example 1
<?php
$name="John";
echo $name;
//or echo ($name);
?>
Example 2 (pass multiple argument)
<?php
$name = "John";
$profile = "PHP Developer";
$age = 25;
echo $name , $profile , $age, " years old";
?>
Print
 Print is also a statement i.e used to display the output. it
can be used with parentheses print( ) or without
parentheses print.
 using print doesn't pass multiple argument
 print always return 1
 it is slower than echo
Example
<?php
$name="John";
print $name;
//or print ($name);
?>
PHP OPERATORS
 Operators are used to perform operations on
variables and values.
 PHP divides the operators in the following
groups:
1. Arithmetic Operators
2. Comparison Operators
3. Logical (or Relational) Operators
4. Assignment Operators
5. Conditional (or ternary) Operators
