Variables

$variablename=value; 

  • must start with letter or underscore  _VarName
  • can contain alphanumeric char A-Z, 0-9, 
  • exemple 
    • variable_name
    • variable_12
  • variable name are case sensitive
    • $name <>$NAME
  • PHP auto converts variable to the correct data type
<?php
$name = `John`;
$age =25;
echo $name;
?>

Variables scope

Var can be declared anywhere

Scope of variable

Part of script that can be referenced

Most used variable scopes

local scope

declared within a funcion . Can be accessed within that function

global

declared outside a function. Can be accessed outside of a function. Id declared within a function and for accessing it outside of a function use 'global'.

Exemple:

<?php
$name=`David`;
function getName(){
global $name;
echo name;
}
getName();
//outputs `David`
?>

Variable variables

Using one variable to specify another variable`s name

Exemple:

 <?php
$a=`hello`;
$hello=`Hi`;
echo $$a;
//outputs `Hi`
?>

Data Types

Data type supported: string, Integer, float, Boolean, Array, Object, Null, Resource

Most of data types can be combined:

 <?php
$str="10";
$int=20;
$sum=$str+$int;
echo($sum);
//outputs 30
?>

String

$string="Hello World";

Integer

$integer=42 // or -42

float

$float=42.168 // decimal

Boolean

$boolean=true;

Operators

Carry out operations on variables and values

% (remainder of division)

Exemple

 <?php
$num1=8;
$num2=6;
echo $num1+$num2; // 14
?>

In modules

float numbers (decimal) are converted to integer before operation
 <?php
$x=14;
$y=3;
echo $x%$y; // 2
?>

Operands

1 3 500 1245 12.5 

Increment & Decrement

increment or decrement a variable value

Normal use

$x++; // it is equivalent to  $x=$x+1
$x--; // it is equivalent to  $x=$x-1

post increment 

It executes the code and return the value
Returns original value before changing
$a=2; $b=$a++; //$a=3, $b=2

pre increment 

It executes the code and return the value
$a=2; $b=++$a//$a=3, $b=3

Assignment operators

write values to variable
$num1=5;
$num2=$num1;

Concept:

x+=y -->x=x+y
x-=y -->x=x-y
x*=y -->x=x*y
x/=y -->x=x/y
x%=y -->x=x%y

Exemple

 <?php
$x=50;
$x+=100; // it means  $x+100 <=> 50 + 100 <=> 150
echo $x; // outputs 150
?>

Note

=        means assignment (TR; değer atamak)
= =     means comparison (TR: karşılaştırmak)

Comparison operators

==          equal                $x==$y                        if equal / true
===        identical          $x===$                        if equal and same type / true
!= or <>  not equal        $x!=$y or $x<>$y       if not equal / true
!==          not identical   $x!==$y                       if not equal or not same type / true
>             greater than    $x>$y                           if great / true 
<             less than
>=           geater or equal
<=           less or equal

Logical operators

and                          $x and $y        if both are true / true 
or                            $x or $y           either x or y true / true 
xor                          $x xor $y         either x or y true but not both / true 
&&        and           $x && $y        both are true / true 
||             or             $x || $y             either x or y true / true 
!             not            !$x                   $x is not true / true
