Type Boolean Integer String Array Object/Class String functions conversion Array functions conversion
Class definition member declaration member visibility Date/Time functions formats Predefined Variables $_SERVER $_FILES
Type: Boolean
Values (case insensitive): TRUE, FALSE, true, false
Casts: (bool), (boolean)
The value -1 is considered TRUE, like any other non-zero (whether negative or positive) number!
Type: Integer
Casts: (int), (integer)
If PHP encounters a number beyond the bounds of the integer type, it will be interpreted as a float instead.
Type: String
When a string is specified in double quotes (") the variables are parsed within it.
Converting to string: with cast (string) or strval()
String Functions:
array explode( string $delimiter , string $string , [ int $limit ] ) - Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string formed by
splitting it on boundaries formed by the string delimiter
string implode( string $glue , array $pieces ) - Join array elements with a glue string
string htmlentities( string $string , [ int $quote_style , [ string $charset ,[ bool $double_encode ]]] ) - Convert all applicable characters to
HTML entities
string html_entity_decode( string $string , [ int $quote_style , [ string $charset ]] ) - Convert all HTML entities to their applicable characters
int strlen( string $string ) - Get string length
string strstr( string $haystack , mixed $needle , [ bool $before_needle ] ) - Find first occurrence of a string
int strpos( string $haystack , mixed $needle , [ int $offset ] ) - Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack
string
string substr( string $string , int $start , [ int $length ] ) - Return part of a string
Type: Array
An array can be created by the array() language construct.
The unset() function allows removing keys from an array.
Converting to array:(array)$scalarValue or array($scalarValue)
Array Functions:
array array_diff( array $array1 , array $array2 , [ array $ ... ] ) - Compares array1 against array2 and returns the difference
array array_keys( array $input , [ mixed $search_value ,[ bool $strict ]] ) - Return all the keys of an array
array array_map( callback $callback , array $arr1 , [ array $... ] ) - Applies the callback to the elements of the given arrays
bool array_walk( array &$array , callback $funcname ,[ mixed $userdata ] ) - Apply a user function to every member of an array
array array_merge( array $array1 ,[ array $array2 , [ array $... ]] ) - Merge one or more arrays
mixed array_pop( array &$array ) - Pop the element off the end of array
int array_push( array &$array , mixed $var ,[ mixed $... ] ) - Push one or more elements onto the end of array
mixed array_shift( array &$array ) - Shift an element off the beginning of array
mixed array_unshift( array &$array , mixed $var , [ mixed $... ] ) - Prepend one or more elements to the beginning of an array
array array_slice( array $array , int $offset ,[ int $length ,[ bool $preserve_keys ]] ) - Returns the sequence of elements from the array array
as specified by the offset and length parameters
array array_splice( array &$input , int $offset ,[ int $length ,[ mixed $replacement ]] ) - Removes the elements designated by offset and
length from the input array, and replaces them with the elements of the replacement array, if supplied
array in_array( mixed $needle , array $haystack ,[ bool $strict ] ) - Checks if a value exists in an array, searches haystack for needle
Type: Object/Class
To instatiate a class use the new statement.
If a value of any other type is converted to an object, a new instance of the stdClass built-in class is created.

![To instatiate a class use the new statement.
If a value of any other type is converted to an object, a new instance of the stdClass built-in class is created.
Setting constants inside of class with const keyword.
Class definition:
general
1 class SampleClass {
2 }
abstract - It is not allowed to create an instance of a class that has been defined as abstract
1 abstract class SampleClass {
2 }
final - Prevents the class to be extended
1 final class SampleClass {
2 }
Class members declaration:
static - Declaring class members or methods as static makes them accessible without needing an instantiation of the class
1 class SampleClass {
2
3 public static $class_propery = "foo";
4
5 public static class_method() {
6 //code here
7 }
8 }
final - Prevents child classes from overriding a method
1 class SampleClass {
2
3 final public class_method() {
4 //code here
5 }
6 }
Class members visibility:
public - Public declared items can be accessed everywhere
1 class SampleClass {
2
3 public $class_propery = "foo";
4
5 public class_method() {
6 //code here
7 }
8 }
private - Private limits visibility only to the class that defines the item
1 class SampleClass {
2
3 private $class_propery = "foo";
4
5 private class_method() {
6 //code here
7 }
8 }
protected - Protected limits access to inherited and parent classes (and to the class that defines the item)
1 class SampleClass {
2
3 protected $class_propery = "foo";
4
5 protected class_method() {
6 //code here
7 }
8 }
Date/Time
Functions:
string date( string $format , [ int $timestamp ] ) - Returns a string formatted according to the given format string using the given integer
timestamp or the current time if no timestamp is given
void date_add( DateTime $object , DateInterval $interval ) - Adds an amount of days, months, years, hours, minutes and seconds to a DateTime
object
