Detail description about PHP langauage

1. P.H.P.

2. Full forms
 Hyper text pre processor
 Personal home page

3. Use of php
 PHP is a powerful tool for making dynamic and
interactive Web pages.
 PHP is the widely-used, free, and efficient
alternative to competitors such as Microsoft's
ASP.

4. Developed by
 Main developer
 Rasmus ladroff 1995
 Modification by 1997
 Zeev suraski
 Andi gotmans

5. Work on client server architecture
 Client sends request to server.
 Server accept request and reply response in
HTML format

6. advantages
 Use for code security
 Use for create dynamic web pages
 For power full database connectivity
 PHP is an open source software
 PHP is free to download and use

7. P.H.P. file
 PHP files can contain text, HTML tags and scripts
 PHP files are returned to the browser as plain
HTML
 PHP files have a file extension of ".php", ".php3",
or ".phtml

8. Why P.H.P.
 PHP runs on different platforms (Windows, Linux,
Unix, etc.)
 PHP is compatible with almost all servers used
today (Apache, IIS, etc.)
 PHP is FREE to download from the official PHP
resource: www.php.net
 PHP is easy to learn and runs efficiently on the
server side

9. Server architecture

10. Server information
 Apache server use to compile P.H.P. code.
 Apache server compile php code and returns
output in html format to browser.
 In entire document all the html and java script
code execute by client browser and P.H.P. code
compile by server

11. Working with server
 P.H.P. files are run on apache server.
save all the P.H.P. files in document root
default save in c:xampphtdocs

12. Server software
 Xampp
combination of apache server and mysql database.
Wampp
apaches server software.

13. Comment in php
 // single line comment
 /* */ multiline comment

14. Tag of php
// starting tag of php
<?php
 // ending tag of php
?>

15. Other style to write P.H.P. code
Short hand style
<?
?>
script type style
<script language=“php”>
</script>

16. Printing content in page.
 Use “echo” function or “print” function
 Ex. echo” welcome to P.H.P. “;

17. Variables
 All the variables declare with “dollar ” sign.
Ex. $a = 10;

18. P.H.P. is loosely typed language
 In PHP, a variable does not need to be declared
before adding a value to it.
 In the example above, notice that we did not have
to tell PHP which data type the variable is.
 PHP automatically converts the variable to the
correct data type, depending on its value.
 In a strongly typed programming language, you
have to declare (define) the type and name of the
variable before using it.

19. To run P.H.P. code
 Write In address bar of web browser.
http://localhost/foldername/filename
Localhost : default host name of P.H.P. server
P.H.P. run on port no. 80

20. Example of variable
 $a = 10;
 All data type accept with same variable.
 Default data type is variant.
 gettype() : use to get data type of
variables.

21. Must remember
P.H.P. is totally case sensitive language.
all the statements of P.H.P. is terminated with semi
colon ( ; )
must save all the files with ( .php ) extension
concatenation of two string with (.) dot sign

22. Valid variable names.
 $a valid name.
 $1 not valid name
 $asc_asd valid name
 $_aaa valid name
 $~aa not valid name
 $aa-aa not valid name
 Note : allows only a-z, A-Z, 1-9 , _ in variable
name

23. Type casting of variables
 Variable (data type to cast) variable.
 Ex.
$abc = “100”;
$total = (integer) $abc;

24. operators
 Relational
 Arithmetic
 Logical
 Assignment
 Increment / decrement

25. Relational operators
 < less than
 > greater than
 <= less than or equal
 => greater than and equal
 == equals
 != not equals
 <> not equals

26. Arithmetic operators
 + summation
 - subtraction
 * multiplication
 / division
 % modulation

27. logical operators
 || or operator
 && and operator
 ! Not operator

28. || operator ( chart )
Condition 1 Condition 2 Result
True False True
False True True
False False False
True True True

29. && operator ( chart )
Condition 1 Condition 2 Result
True False False
False True False
False False False
True True True

30. ! Not ( chart )
Condition 1 Condition 2 Result
True False False
False True False
True True False
False False True

31. Assignment operator

}

36. Nested if condition
 if( condition 1)
{
if(condition 2)
{
executable part
}
}

37. Switch case
 Switch (expression)
{
case : // match 1
{

{
executable part;
break;
}
default

}

46. For each loop
 $student =
array(“kalpesh”,”kaushik”,”virendra”,”sanjay”,”hite

// specify time in negative
setcookie("user", "", time()-3600);
?>
 Note : no any other way to delete cookies from
server side.

78. Session
 When you are working with an application, you
open it, do some changes and then you close it.
This is much like a Session. The computer knows
who you are. It knows when you start the
application and when you end. But on the internet
there is one problem: the web server does not
know who you are and what you do because the
HTTP address doesn't maintain state.
 Note : session use to maintain state of user.

79. Creating a new session in P.H.P.
 $_SESSION[“ name of your session ”] = “value of
session”


80. Access session

if(!file_exists("welcome.txt"))
{
die("File not found");
}
else
{
$file=fopen("welcome.txt","r");
}
?>

83. Try catch block
 function checkNum($number)
{
if($number>1)
{
throw new Exception("Value must be 1 or below");
}
return true;
}
try
{
checkNum(2);
echo 'If you see this, the number is 1 or below';
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo 'Message: ' .$e->getMessage();
}

84. Database

1
Databas
e

85. How to connect with database
???
 Use mysql_connect()
$con =
mysql_connect(“hostname",“username",“password")
;
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

86. Default values
 Host = localhost
 Username= root
 Password = “”(Null)

87. For closing the connection
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost",“root","");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close($con);
?>

88. Select database from entire
system
 mysql_select_db(“database name", [ reference of
database]);

89. Insert values in table
 INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (value1,
value2, value3,...)
 Ex .
 Insert into demo ( 10,’abc’,’rajkot’)

90. Example to insert data in table
 <?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost",“root","");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO Persons (FirstName, LastName, Age)
VALUES('$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','$_POST[age]')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "1 record added";
mysql_close($con);
?>

91. Fetch data from table.
 SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name
 Or
 Select * from table name where condition.

92. Where clause
 $con = mysql_connect("localhost",“root","");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons
WHERE FirstName=‘abc'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName'];
echo "<br />";
}

93. Update query
 mysql_query("UPDATE Persons SET Age=36
WHERE FirstName=‘amit' AND
LastName=‘mehta'");

94. Delete query
 DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE some_column = some_value
 Ex. Delete * from table1 where username =
‘ankit’;

95. Other data base functions……
 mysql_affected_rows()
Returns no of rows affected by query.
mostly use to update and delete querys

96. Example
 <?php
$con =
mysql_connect("localhost","mysql_user","mysql_pwd"
);
if (!$con)
{
die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("mydb");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM mytable WHERE id <
5");
$rc = mysql_affected_rows();
echo "Records deleted: " . $rc;
mysql_close($con);
?>

97. mysql_fetch_array()
 Use to
 After the data is retrieved, this function moves to
the next row in the recordset. Each subsequent
call to mysql_fetch_array() returns the next row in
the recordset retrieve data in array format.

98. Example
 <?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost", “root", "");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$db_selected = mysql_select_db("test_db",$con);
$sql = "SELECT * from Person WHERE
Lastname='Refsnes'";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$con);
print_r(mysql_fetch_array($result));
mysql_close($con);
?>

99. Mode of arrays
 mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_NUM)
 mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)
 mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_BOTH)
 Note : default mode is both

100. mysql_num_rows()
 The mysql_num_rows() function returns the
number of rows in a recordset.
This function returns FALSE on failure
$sql = "SELECT * FROM person";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$con);
echo mysql_num_rows($result);

101. Errors in mysql
