What is PHP?
PHP == ‘Hypertext Preprocessor’
Open-source, server-side scripting language
Used to generate dynamic web-pages
PHP scripts reside between reserved PHP tags
This allows the programmer to embed PHP scripts within

HTML pages

History of PHP
PHP began in 1995 when Rasmus Lerdorf developed a

Perl/CGI script toolset he called the Personal Home Page
or PHP
PHP 2 released 1997 (PHP now stands for Hypertex
Processor). Lerdorf developed it further, using C instead
PHP3 released in 1998 (50,000 users)
PHP4 released in 2000 (3.6 million domains). Considered
debut of functional language and including Perl parsing,
with other major features
PHP5.0.0 released July 13, 2004 (113 libraries>1,000
functions with extensive object-oriented programming)
PHP5.0.5 released Sept. 6, 2005 for maintenance and bug
fixes

What is PHP (cont’d)
Interpreted language, scripts are parsed at run-time

rather than compiled beforehand
Executed on the server-side
Source-code not visible by client

‘View Source’ in browsers does not display the PHP code

Various built-in functions allow for fast development
Compatible with many popular databases

What does PHP code look like?
Structurally similar to C/C++
Supports procedural and object-oriented paradigm (to

some degree)
All PHP statements end with a semi-colon
Each PHP script must be enclosed in the reserved PHP
tag
<?php
…
?>

PHP Overview
Easy learning
Syntax Perl- and C-like syntax. Relatively easy to learn.
Large function library
Embedded directly into HTML
Interpreted, no need to compile
Open Source server-side scripting language designed specifically

for the web.

PHP Overview (cont.)
Conceived in 1994, now used on +10 million web sites.
Outputs not only HTML but can output XML, images (JPG

& PNG), PDF files and even Flash movies all generated on
the fly. Can write these files to the file system.
Supports a wide-range of databases (20+ODBC).
PHP also has support for talking to other services using
protocols such as LDAP, IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, POP3,
HTTP.

First PHP script
 Save as sample.php:
<!– sample.php -->
<html><body>

<strong>Hello World!</strong><br />
<?php
echo “<h2>Hello, World</h2>”; ?>

<?php
$myvar = "Hello World";
echo $myvar;
?>
</body></html>

Comments in PHP
Standard C, C++, and shell comment symbols

// C++ and Java-style comment
# Shell-style comments
/* C-style comments
These can span multiple lines */

Variables in PHP
PHP variables must begin with a “$” sign
Case-sensitive ($Foo != $foo != $fOo)
Global and locally-scoped variables
Global variables can be used anywhere
Local variables restricted to a function or class

Certain variable names reserved by PHP
Form variables ($_POST, $_GET)
Server variables ($_SERVER)
Etc.

Variable usage
<?php
$foo = 25;
$bar = “Hello”;
$foo = ($foo * 7);
$bar = ($bar * 7);
?>

// Numerical variable
// String variable
// Multiplies foo by 7
// Invalid expression

Echo

The PHP command ‘echo’ is used to output the

parameters passed to it

The typical usage for this is to send data to the client’s

web-browser

Syntax
void echo (string arg1 [, string argn...])
In practice, arguments are not passed in parentheses since
echo is a language construct rather than an actual
function

Echo example
<?php
$foo = 25;
$bar = “Hello”;
echo
echo
echo
echo
echo
?>

$bar;
$foo,$bar;
“5x5=”,$foo;
“5x5=$foo”;
‘5x5=$foo’;

// Numerical variable
// String variable
//
//
//
//
//

Outputs
Outputs
Outputs
Outputs
Outputs

Hello
25Hello
5x5=25
5x5=25
5x5=$foo

 Notice how echo ‘5x5=$foo’ outputs $foo rather than replacing it with 25
 Strings in single quotes (‘ ’) are not interpreted or evaluated by PHP
 This is true for both variables and character escape-sequences (such as “n” or “”)

Concatenation
Use a period to join strings into one.
<?php
$string1=“Hello”;
$string2=“PHP”;
$string3=$string1 . “ ” . $string2;
Print $string3;
?>

Hello PHP

Escaping the Character
If the string has a set of double quotation marks that must

remain visible, use the [backslash] before the quotation
marks to ignore and display them.

<?php
$heading=“”Computer Science””;
Print $heading;
?>

“Computer Science”

PHP Control Structures
 Control Structures: Are the structures within a language that allow
us to control the flow of execution through a program or script.
 Grouped into conditional (branching) structures (e.g. if/else) and
repetition structures (e.g. while loops).
 Example if/else if/else statement:
if ($foo == 0) {
echo ‘The variable foo is equal to 0’;
}
else if (($foo > 0) && ($foo <= 5)) {
echo ‘The variable foo is between 1 and 5’;
}
else {
echo ‘The variable foo is equal to ‘.$foo;
}

If ... Else...
If (condition)

{
Statements;
}
Else
{
Statement;

<?php
If($user==“John”)
{
Print “Hello John.”;
}
Else
{
Print “You are not John.”;
}
?>

}

No THEN in PHP

While Loops
While (condition)

{
Statements;
}

<?php
$count=0;
While($count<3)
{
Print “hello PHP. ”;
$count += 1;
// $count = $count + 1;
// or
// $count++;
?>

hello PHP. hello PHP. hello PHP.

Array
 An array is a special variable, which can hold more than one value

at a time.
 Create an Array in PHP
In PHP, the array() function is used to create an array:
E.g. – array();
<?php
$country=array(“IND",“AUS",“SA");
echo "I have travel in " . $country[0] . ", " . $country [1] . " and "
. $country [2] . ".";
?>

Array Types
In PHP, there are three types of arrays:
Numeric arrays - Arrays with numeric index
<?php
$name=array(0=>“Smith",“Lee”,"Joe”);
echo “My Friends are " . $name[0] .”,”. $name[1] ;
?>
Associative arrays - Arrays with named keys
<?php
$age=array(“Smith"=>"35",“Lee"=>"37","Joe"=>"43");
echo “Smith is " . $age[‘Smith'] . " years old.";
?>
Multidimensional arrays - Arrays containing one or more
arrays

Date Display
2009/4/1

Wednesday, April 1, 2009

$datedisplay=date(“yyyy/m/d”);
Print $datedisplay;
# If the date is April 1st, 2009
# It would display as 2009/4/1

$datedisplay=date(“l, F m, Y”);
Print $datedisplay;
# If the date is April 1st, 2009
# Wednesday, April 1, 2009

Functions
Functions MUST be defined before then can be called
Function headers are of the format
Note that no return type is specified
function functionName($arg_1, $arg_2, …, $arg_n)

Unlike variables, function names are not case sensitive (foo(…)

== Foo(…) == FoO(…))

Functions example
<?php
// This is a function
function foo($arg_1, $arg_2)
{
$arg_2 = $arg_1 * $arg_2;
return $arg_2;
}
$result_1 = foo(12, 3);
echo $result_1;
echo foo(12, 3);
?>

// Store the function
// Outputs 36
// Outputs 36

Include Files
Include “opendb.php”;
Include “closedb.php”;
This inserts files; the code in files will be inserted into current code. This will
provide useful and protective means once you connect to a database, as well
as for other repeated functions.
Include (“footer.php”);
The file footer.php might look like:
<hr SIZE=11 WIDTH=“100%”>

PHP - Forms
•Access to the HTTP POST and GET data is simple in PHP
•The global variables $_POST[] and $_GET[] contain the
request data
<?php
if ($_POST["submit"])
echo "<h2>You clicked Submit!</h2>";
else if ($_POST["cancel"])
echo "<h2>You clicked Cancel!</h2>";
?>
<form action="form.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="submit" name="cancel" value="Cancel">
</form>

File Handling
 The fopen() function is used to open files in PHP.
 The first parameter of this function contains the name of the file

to be opened and the second parameter specifies in which mode
the file should be opened:
 <html>
<body>
<?php
$file=fopen("welcome.txt","r");
?>
</body>
</html>

The file opened in one of the following modes:

<?php
$file = fopen("welcome.txt", "r") or exit("file can not be open!");
//Output a line of the file until the end is reached
while(!feof($file))
  {
  echo fgets($file). "<br>";
  }
fclose($file);
?>
The feof() function checks if the "end-of-file" (EOF) has been

reached.
The fgets() function is used to read a single line from a file.

File Uploading
<form action="upload.php" method="post” enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
 Notice the following about the HTML form above:
 The enctype attribute of the <form> tag specifies which content-type to use

when submitting the form. "multipart/form-data" is used when a form
requires binary data, like the contents of a file, to be uploaded
 The type="file" attribute of the <input> tag specifies that the input should be
processed as a file. For example, when viewed in a browser, there will be a
browse-button next to the input field

To upload the file in server use this predefine function

move_uploaded_file($filename, $destination)
$filename – name of the temporary file name
$destination – in which directory you want to save file

WHYcreate a website Sessionsstore and display
PHP – that allows you to ?
Whenever you want to

information about a user, determine which user groups a person belongs to,
utilize permissions on your website or you just want to do something cool on
your site, PHP's Sessions are vital to each of these features.
Cookies are about 30% unreliable right now and it's getting worse every day.
More and more web browsers are starting to come with security and privacy
settings and people browsing the net these days are starting to frown upon
Cookies because they store information on their local computer that they do
not want stored there.
PHP has a great set of functions that can achieve the same results of
Cookies and more without storing information on the user's computer. PHP
Sessions store the information on the web server in a location that you chose
in special files. These files are connected to the user's web browser via the
server and a special ID called a "Session ID". This is nearly 99% flawless in
operation and it is virtually invisible to the user.

PHP - Sessions
•Sessions store their identifier in a cookie in the client’s browser
•Every page that uses session data must be proceeded by the
session_start() function
•Session variables are then set and retrieved by accessing the global
$_SESSION[]
•Save it as session.php
<?php
session_start();
if (!$_SESSION["count"])
$_SESSION["count"] = 0;
if ($_GET["count"] == "yes")
$_SESSION["count"] = $_SESSION["count"] + 1;
echo "<h1>".$_SESSION["count"]."</h1>";
?>
<a href="session.php?count=yes">Click here to count</a>

Avoid Error PHP - Sessions
PHP Example: <?php
echo "Look at this nasty error below:<br />";
session_start();
?>

Error!
Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent
by (output started at
session_header_error/session_error.php:2) in
session_header_error/session_error.php on line 3
Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers
already sent (output started at
session_header_error/session_error.php:2) in
session_header_error/session_error.php on line 3

PHP Example: <?php
session_start();
echo "Look at this nasty error below:";
?>
Correct

Destroy PHP - Sessions
Destroying a Session
why it is necessary to destroy a session when the session will get
destroyed when the user closes their browser. Well, imagine that you
had a session registered called "access_granted" and you were using
that to determine if the user was logged into your site based upon a
username and password. Anytime you have a login feature, to make
the users feel better, you should have a logout feature as well. That's
where this cool function called session_destroy() comes in handy.
session_destroy() will completely demolish your session (no, the
computer won't blow up or self destruct) but it just deletes the session
files and clears any trace of that session.
NOTE: If you are using the $_SESSION superglobal array, you must
clear the array values first, then run session_destroy.
Here's how we use session_destroy():

PHP
 To Connect with Mysql

$username = "your_name";
$password = "your_password";
$hostname = "localhost";
//connection to the database
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username,
$password) ;

 To select Database

//select a database to work with
$selected = mysql_select_db("examples",$dbhandle)
or die("Could not select examples");
 Execute the SQL query and i-nsert record
mysql_query(“insert into tbl_name values(‘val_1’,’val_2’)“);
 Close Mysql connection

mysql_close();
