SCRIPTING LANGUAGE
HOW PHP WORKS??
<?php
?>
BASIC PHP SYNTAX
• All variables in PHP start with a $ sign symbol.
• Variables may contain strings, numbers, or arrays.
<html>
<body>
<?php $txt="Hello World"; echo $txt;
?>
</body>
</html>
VARIABLES IN PHP
• String– 'My name is x.'– "My name is $name."
• Boolean• Integer• Floating point• Array
– $a=array("tokyo", "hanoi", "london")– $a=array("japan" => "tokyo", "vietnam" =>
"hanoi", "england" => "london")– $a[2]– $a["vietnam"]
DATA TYPES$name=“x”
• String literals (constants) enclosed in double quotes “ ” or single quotes ‘ ’
• Within “”, variables are replaced by their value: – called variable interpolation. “My name is $name, I think”
• Strings are concatenated (joined end to end) with the dot operator “key”.”board” == “keyboard”
STRING HANDLING
Syntax
if (condition)
code to be executed if condition is true;
else
code to be executed if condition is false;
THE IF...ELSE STATEMENT
Syntax
switch (expression)
{
case label1: code to be executed if expression = label1; break;
case label2: code to be executed if expression = label2; break;
default: code to be executed if expression is different from both label1 and label2;
}
THE SWITCH STATEMENT
• Strlen();
• Strcmp();
• Date();
• Time();
• Include();
• Require();
PHP FUNCTION
• It is used to help web applications to maintain their state across several HTTP requests when needed.
• Cookies
• Session
STATE MANAGEMENT
• Better option of cookie
• Store information about a user. They are available only for a particular application and hold information of only one single user.
SESSION
Syntax:
<?php start_session(); ?>
<?php start_session();
$_SESSION[‘user_name’]=‘’
$_SESSION[‘pwd’]=‘’
?> //create a session
select username,password
From table
Where username=‘textbox1’ and password=‘textbox2’
<?php start_session();
$_SESSION[‘user_name’]=
$_SESSION[‘pwd’]=
if(isset($_SESSION[‘username’]))
Echo “Welcome”. $_SESSION[‘name’]
?> //retrieve a session
• session_destroy();
• unset();
<?php start_session();
$_SESSION[‘user_name’]=
if(isset($_POST[“lgt_btn"]))
unset($_SESSION[‘user_name’]);
?> Name of the Logout button
