Basic Functions in php

Basic Functions in PHP Programming Languages. This tutorial is for Basic Functions. Why functions are useful in php and also in other programming languages? Lets see how we can create functions and use a function with our page. Firstly let me know you a function is something which allows you to declare a block of code that we may want to reuse,we use more arguments which is sometimes refractive.

Code for basic structure for functions(Screenshot1):-

Code for Basic Structure for Functions In Php Screenshot1

<?php



function MyName() {

echo 'Mohammed';

}



echo 'My name is <br>';

MyName();

?>

Output (Screenshot2):-

Screenshot2

In this examples of basic structure of functions there is keyword “function” along with name of function i.e “MyName” and conditions in curly brackets. Since this example is basic so I am just showing you to echo out my name using functions. Then when we want to use functions we just had to call the function by name and conditions inside curly brackets are applied.

Now you need to think about it logically how you can use functions in your programs.

For Loop in php

For Loop In Php Programming Languages. This tutorial is for “For Loop”. Now syntax of For Loop is bit complicated. Also,its structure is slightly different. If we make blogs related to For loop you must observe that its similar to While Loop and Do While Loop. However, in For Loop what we are doing is we use three expressions within this brackets.These three expressions are ,firstly to initialize the variable then control the loop by giving a definite condition to the variable and lastly increment the initialized value of variable.

In this example, I am firstly declaring variable “count” in For Loop,secondly evaluate whether condition is true or false i.e.count is greater than or equal to ten and lastly increment the value of count.In For Loop,”;” sign between these expressions is must.Second expression will only get executed after execution of first expression and third expression will only get executed after execution of second expression whenever any For Loop is called for the first time in program.But from second time onward it will only execute second and third expressions,since the initialization of variable is done while calling the For Loop for the first time.

Html tags should be in single inverted commas at echo function of php programming languages.

In this example, we are counting from 10 to 1 by decremented the value of variables.So, this is basic For Loop in php.

Variables in php

Variables

This tutorial is for variables. If you have worked with any other programming language you know what are variables for and what they will do.Values are assigned to variables and variables are of different types.Now in this tutorials i am going to show you how to declare variables by assigning values to standard structure and then variables are echoed out on the browser.So, Usually in programming languages such as JavaScript or for any other language like it we have to use keywords,for example in java we use “var” like var example.

<?php

var name = 'value';

?>

In php we don’t need any keywords to define anything only we need to assign it with “$” dollar sign notation and afterwards we can assign “_” sign or characters or strings or numeric characters also. Assigning can be done in upper-case and lower-case both.
Code for Variables(Screenshot1) :-

Code For Variables Screenshot1

<?php

echo $text = 'Hello World.';

echo $number = 100;

?>

output (Screenshot2) :-

Screenshot2

In Screenshot1 you can see codes for string.I have used sign ” notation for numeric value and i am not using any notation but only semi colon “;” . Semi colon “;” is a separator. Echo statementecho’s out the variables.We can assign any value to variables such as floating values, Boolean values,etc., but this we will see later on in if statements.

Code for variables different way (Screenshot3) :-

Code for Different types for variables Screenshot3

<?php

$text = 'Hello World.';

$number = 100;

 echo $text;

?>

Output (Screenshot4) :-

Variables Screenshot4

It will only echo variable $text contain because we only echoing $text variable Code for variables different way second example (Screenshot5):-

Screenshot5

<?php

$text = 'Hello world.";

$number = 100;

echo $number;

?>

Output(Screenshot6) :-

Screenshot6

It will echo out the content of variable $number because we are echoing variable $number. Programming languages are used todeclare different data’s, for example you want to take users age or take users name or anything you need to declare,so either you will store it as string data or you will store it as numerical data like integers (similarly for floats),which is somewhat tedious ! But, I would like to tell you an important aspect of php , that you don’t need to think about what data you are storing, you just simply need to assign “$” Sign in the prefix of variable name following with equal to and the variable value. Declaration of variables in php is quite easy.
