<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My first PHP

<?php

?>

</body>
</html>
Basic PHP Syntax

A PHP script can be placed anywhere in


the document.

A PHP script starts with <?php and ends


with ?>:

<?php
// PHP code goes here
?>
Comments in PHP

A comment in PHP code is a line that is not


read/executed as part of the program. Its
only purpose is to be read by someone who
is looking at the code.

-is the portion of a program that exists only


for the human reader and stripped out
before displaying the programs result.
There are two commenting formats in PHP:

1. Single-line comments - They are generally


used for short explanations or notes
relevant to the local code.
2. Multi-line comments
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
// This is a single-line comment

# This is also a single-line comment

/*
This is a multiple-lines comment block
that spans over multiple
lines
*/

// You can also use comments to leave out parts of a code line
$x = 5 /* + 15 */ + 5;
echo $x;
?>

</body>
</html>
PHP Case Sensitivity

In PHP, all keywords (e.g. if, else, while, echo,


etc.), classes, functions, and user-defined
functions are NOT case-sensitive.

Next is the example of three echo statements


below are legal (and equal):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
ECHO "Hello World!<br>";
echo "Hello World!<br>";
EcHo "Hello World!<br>";
?>

</body>
</html>

However; all variable names are case-


sensitive.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
$color = "red";
echo "My car is " . $color . "<br>";
echo "My house is " . $COLOR
. "<br>";
echo "My boat is " . $coLOR . "<br>";
?>

</body>
</html>
PHP Variables
- Variables are "containers" for storing
information.

In PHP, a variable starts with the $ sign,


followed by the name of the variable
<?php
$txt = "Hello world!";
$x = 5;
$y = 10.5;
echo $txt;
Echo “<br>”;
Echo $x;
Echo “<br>”;
Echo $y;
Echo “<br>”;
?>
PHP Variables
A variable can have a short name (like x and
y) or a more descriptive name (age, carname,
total_volume).

Rules for PHP variables:

•A variable starts with the $ sign, followed by


the name of the variable
•A variable name must start with a letter or
the underscore character
•A variable name cannot start with a
number
•A variable name can only contain alpha-
numeric characters and underscores (A-z,
0-9, and _ )

•Variable names are case-sensitive ($age


and $AGE are two different variables)
Output Variables

The PHP echo statement is often used to


output data to the screen.

<?php
$txt = “Jh Cerilles State College";
echo "I love $txt!";
?>
PHP Variables 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
<?php
$x = 5; // global scope

function myTest() {
// using x inside this
function will generate an
error
echo "<p>Variable x
inside function is: $x</p>";
}
myTest();

echo "<p>Variable x outside


function is: $x</p>";
?>
<?php
function myTest() {
$x = 5; // local scope
echo "<p>Variable x inside function
is: $x</p>";
}
myTest();

// using x outside the function will


generate an error
echo "<p>Variable x outside function is:
$x</p>";
?>
PHP The global Keyword
<?php
$x = 5;
$y = 10;

function myTest() {
global $x, $y;
$y = $x + $y;
}

myTest();
echo $y; // outputs 15
?>
<?php
$x = 5;
$y = 10;

function myTest() {
$GLOBALS['y'] = $GLOBALS['x']
+ $GLOBALS['y'];
}

myTest();
echo $y; // outputs 15
?>
PHP The static Keyword

Normally, when a function is


completed/executed, all of its variables are
deleted. However, sometimes we want a local
variable NOT to be deleted. We need it for a
further job.
<?php
function myTest() {
static $x = 0;
echo $x;
$x++;
}

myTest();
Echo “<br>”;
myTest();
Echo “<br>”;
myTest();
?>
