Php operators

PHP Operator is a symbol i.e. used to perform
operations on operands.
For example: $num=10+20;
PHP Operators can be categorized in following
forms:
Arithmetic Operators
Bitwise Operators
Logical Operators
String Operators
Incrementing/Decrementing Operators
Array Operators
Assignment Operators

 PHP comments can be used to describe any line of
code so that other developer can understand the
code easily. It can also be used to hide any code.
 PHP supports single line and multi line comments.
 PHP Single Line Comments
◦ // (C++ style single line comment)
◦ # (Unix Shell style single line comment)
<?php
// this is C++ style single line comment
# this is Unix Shell style single line comment
echo "Welcome to PHP single line comments";
?>

 In PHP, we can comments multiple lines also. To
do so, we need to enclose all lines within /* */
<?php
/*
Anything placed
within comment
will not be displayed
on the browser;
*/
echo "Welcome to PHP multi line comment";
?>

 PHP if else statement is used to test
condition. There are various ways to use if
statement in PHP.
 if
 if-else
 if-else-if
 nested if

 PHP if statement is executed if condition is true.
Syntax:
if(condition){
//code to be executed
}
Example:
<?php
$num=12;
if($num<100){
echo "$num is less than 100";
}
?>

 PHP if-else statement is executed whether condition is true or
false.
Syntax: if(condition){
//code to be executed if true
}else{
//code to be executed if false
}
Example: <?php
$num=12;
if($num%2==0){
echo "$num is even number";
}else{
echo "$num is odd number";
}
?>

 PHP switch statement is used to execute one statement
from multiple conditions. It works like PHP if-else-if
statement.
Syntax: switch(expression){
case value1:
break;
case value2:
break;
......
default:
code to be executed if all cases are not matched;
}

<?php
$num=20;
switch($num){
case 10:
echo("number is equals to 10");
break;
case 20:
echo("number is equal to 20");
break;
case 30:
echo("number is equal to 30");
break;
default:
echo("number is not equal to 10, 20 or 30");
}
?>

 PHP for loop can be used to traverse set of
code for the specified number of times.
 It should be used if number of iteration is
known otherwise use while loop.
Syntax:
for(initialization; condition; inc./dec.){
} <?php
for($n=1;$n<=10;$n++){
echo "$n ";
}
?>

 We can use for loop inside for loop in PHP, it
is known as nested for loop.
<?php
for($i=1;$i<=3;$i++){
for($j=1;$j<=3;$j++){
echo "$i $j ";
}
}
?>

 PHP for each loop is used to traverse array
elements.
Syntax
foreach( $array as $var ){
}
?>
<?php
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");
foreach( $season as $arr ){
echo "Season is: $arr ";
}
?>

 PHP while loop can be used to traverse set of
code like for loop.
 It should be used if number of iteration is not
known.
Syntax
while(condition){
}
Alternative Syntax
while(condition):
endwhile;
<?php
$n=1;
while($n<=10){
echo "$n ";
$n++;
}
?>

 PHP do while loop can be used to traverse set
of code like php while loop. The PHP do-while
loop is guaranteed to run at least once.
 It executes the code at least one time always
because condition is checked after executing
the code.
Syntax
do{
}while(condition);
Example
<?php
$n=1;
do{
echo "$n ";
$n++;
}while($n<=10);
?>

 PHP break statement breaks the execution of
current for, while, do-while, switch and for-
each loop. If you use break inside inner loop,
it breaks the execution of inner loop only.
Syntax
jump statement;
break; <?php
for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++){
echo "$i ";
if($i==5){
break;
}
}
?>

 PHP function is a piece of code that can be
reused many times. It can take input as
argument list and return value. There are
thousands of built-in functions in PHP.
 Advantage of PHP Functions
◦ Code Reusability
◦ Less Code
◦ Easy to understand

 We can declare and call user-defined
functions easily.
 Function name must be start with letter and
underscore only like other labels in PHP. It
can't be start with numbers or special
symbols.

Syntax
function functionname(){
}
<?php
function sayHello(){
echo "Hello PHP Function";
}
sayHello();//calling function
?>

 We can pass the information in PHP function
through arguments which is separated by
comma.
 PHP supports Call by Value (default), Call by
Reference, Default argument
values and Variable-length argument list.
<?php
function sayHello($name){
echo "Hello $name ";
}
sayHello("Sonoo");
sayHello("Vimal");
sayHello("John");
?>
<?php
function sayHello($name,$age){
echo "Hello $name, you are $age years
old ";
}
sayHello("Sonoo",27);
sayHello("Vimal",29);
sayHello("John",23);
?>

 Value passed to the function doesn't modify
the actual value by default (call by value). But
we can do so by passing value as a reference.
 By default, value passed to the function is call
by value. To pass value as a reference, you
need to use ampersand (&) symbol before the
argument name.
<?php
function adder(&$str2)
{
$str2 .= 'Call By Reference';
}
$str = 'Hello ';
adder($str);
echo $str;
?>

 We can specify a default argument value in
function. While calling PHP function if you
don't specify any argument, it will take the
default argument.
<?php
function sayHello($name="Sonoo"){
echo "Hello $name ";
}
sayHello("Rajesh");
sayHello();//passing no value
sayHello("John");
?>

<?php
function cube($n){
return $n*$n*$n;
}
echo "Cube of 3 is: ".cube(3);
?>
