It’s been years since I last touched PHP. I’ve learnt at least 10 different languages since then, so there’s obviously a need to visit the syntax of PHP again. I’m done revising it now by doing some hands-on, and following are the files:
General Syntax:
<?php
echo 'First code of PHP<br>'; //echo
$var = 'Variable declared and assigned'; //variable
echo $var.' concat'; //concatenation
unset($var); //destroy var
$name = 'Kirito';
$age = 23;
echo '<br>';
var_dump($age); //information about a variable
echo '<br>';
var_dump($name);
$boolVar = true;
var_dump($boolVar);
echo '<br>$$ example<br>';
$name="Rajeev"; //variable 'name' with value 'rajeev'
$$name="Sanjeev"; //variable 'rajeev' with value 'sanjeev'
echo $name."<br/>";
echo $name."<br/>";
echo $Rajeev."<br/>";
define('CONSTVAR', 20); //constant
//Magic Constants
echo __LINE__.'<br/>';
echo __FILE__.'<br/>';
echo PHP_VERSION.'<br/>';
/*
Not applicable in this file, but in case of class/functions:
__FUNTION__
__CLASS__
__METHOD__
*/
gettype($name); //get data type
//arrays
$arr = array(1, 2, 3);
//append
$arr[ ] = 4;
for ($i=0; $i < count($arr); $i++) {
echo $arr[$i];
}
foreach($arr as $x){
echo $x;
}
var_dump($arr);
//multiple data types allowed
$ar2 = array(1, 'KP');
var_dump($ar2);
//associative array
echo '<br/>';
$assoarr = array(1=>2, "KP"=>"PHP");
$assoarr[2] = "Hi";
foreach($assoarr as $key=>$val)
{
echo $key.": ".$val."<br/>";
}
//array iterator
$iterator = new ArrayIterator($assoarr);
while($iterator->valid())
{
echo "<br/>". $iterator->current() . " at " . $iterator->key();
$iterator->next();
}
//create array from 10 to 1 with step = 1
$arrRange = range(10, 1, 1);
foreach($arrRange as $x)
{
echo '<br/>'. $x;
}
//select a random element from array arrRange
$randomNum = array_rand($arrRange);
echo '<br/>'. $randomNum;
//class
class Demo
{
public $num = 3;
function __construct($n)
{
$this->num = $n;
}
function show()
{
echo '<br>Shwo called<br>';
}
function __destruct()
{
echo "<br/>Destruct<br/>";
}
}
$obj = new Demo(5);
$obj->show();
echo '<br/>'.$obj->num. "<br/>";
unset($obj); //destruct the obj
//null data type
$blank = null;
//resource data type
//$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","users");
//functions to check data type
is_int($var);
is_nan($var);
is_null($var);
is_long($var);
is_float($var);
is_bool($var);
//is_file()
is_array($arr);
is_object($obj);
is_numeric($var);
is_string($name);
//cookie
//name of cookie, value, time before expiry
setcookie("user", "kp", time()+60*60);
//mail
// $headers .= "From:info@phptpoint.com";
// $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn";
//mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Example Login
<?php
error_reporting(1);
$id = $_POST['id'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
if(isset($_POST['signin'])) {
if($id=="kp" && $pass=="kp")
{
header('location:https://www.phptpoint.com');
}
else
{
echo "<font color='red'>Invalid id or password</font>";
}
}
?>
<body>
<form method="post">
<table border="1" align="center">
<tr>
<td>Enter Your Id</td>
<td><input type="text" name="id"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Enter Your Password</td>
<td><input type="password" name="pass"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" name="signin" value="SignIn"/></td>
</tr>
</table">
</form>
</body>
OOP:
<?php
class BaseClass
{
private $_num;
function __construct($n)
{
$this->_num = $n;
echo "<br>Constructor of base called.<br>";
}
public function kp($var)
{
echo "<br>kp: ".$var."<br>";
}
final public function tp()
{
echo "<br>This function cannot be overridden because of final keyword.<br>";
}
function __destruct()
{
echo "<br>Destructor of base called.<br>";
}
}
final class DerivedClass extends BaseClass //final keyword here means that this class cannot be extended
{
var $nn;
function __construct($n)
{
parent::__construct($n);
$this->nn = $n * 2;
}
// public function kp()
// {
// echo "<br>kp called with derived" . "<br>";
// }
}
$derObj = new DerivedClass(4);
$derObj->kp(5);
echo "<br>".$derObj->nn."<br>";
unset($derObj);
?>
