Features of PHP
Performance:
PHP script is executed much faster than those scripts
which are written in other languages such as JSP and
ASP.
Open Source:
PHP source code and software are freely available on
the web. You can develop all the versions of PHP
according to your requirement without paying any cost.
cost. All its components are free to download and use.
Familiarity with syntax:
PHP has easily understandable syntax. Programmers
are comfortable coding with it.
Embedded:
PHP code can be easily embedded within HTML tags
and script.
4/30/2024

Features of PHP
Platform Independent:
PHP is available for WINDOWS, MAC, LINUX & UNIX
operating system. A PHP application developed in
one OS can be easily executed in other OS also.
Database Support:
PHP supports all the leading databases such as
MySQL, SQLite, ODBC, etc.
Error Reporting -
PHP has predefined error reporting constants to
generate an error notice or warning at runtime. E.g.,
E_ERROR, E_WARNING, E_STRICT, E_PARSE.
Loosely Typed Language:
PHP allows us to use a variable without declaring its
datatype. It will be taken automatically at the time
of execution based on the type of data it contains on
its value.
9

Features of PHP
Web servers Support:
PHP is compatible with almost all local servers used
today like Apache, Netscape, Microsoft IIS, etc.
Security:
PHP is a secure language to develop the website. It
consists of multiple layers of security to prevent
threads and malicious attacks.
Control:
Different programming languages require long script
or code, whereas PHP can do the same work in a
few lines of code. It has maximum control over the
websites like you can make changes easily whenever
you want.
A Helpful PHP Community:
It has a large community of developers who
regularly updates documentation, tutorials, online
help, and FAQs. Learning PHP from the communities
is one of the significant benefits.

Introduction to LARAVEL
Laravel is a popular open-source PHP web application framework
known for its elegant syntax, developer-friendly tools, and robust
features. It was created by Taylor Otwell and was first released in
2011. Laravel follows the model-view-controller (MVC)
architectural pattern, making it easy for developers to organize
their code and build scalable and maintainable web applications.

Some key features and concepts associated with
Laravel
o Eloquent ORM (Object-Relational Mapping)
o Blade Templating Engine
o Artisan Console
o Middleware
o Routing
o Dependency Injection and IoC Container
o Laravel Mix
o Authentication and Authorization
o Database Migrations and Seeding
o Task Scheduling and Queues

Eloquent ORM (Object-Relational Mapping): Laravel includes an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping)
called Eloquent, which simplifies database interactions by allowing developers to work with databases
using an object-oriented syntax. This helps in managing database records using PHP syntax instead of
writing raw SQL queries.
Blade Templating Engine: Blade is the templating engine used in the Laravel PHP framework. It
provides a simple yet powerful way to work with views in Laravel, allowing developers to write clean
and expressive templates for their web applications. Blade templates are designed to be easy to read,
concise, and feature-rich, making them a key component of Laravel's templating system..
Artisan Console: Laravel comes with a powerful command-line tool called Artisan. It provides various
commands for common tasks such as database migrations, seeding, testing, and more. Developers can
also create their own custom Artisan commands.(The Artisan console is a powerful tool that allows
developers to interact with their Laravel application from the command line.)
Middleware: Middleware in Laravel allows you to filter HTTP requests entering your application. This
can be useful for tasks such as authentication, logging, or modifying incoming requests before they
reach the application.
Routing:Routing in Laravel refers to the process of defining how your application responds to specific
HTTP requests. It determines which controller method should handle a particular HTTP request made
to your application. Laravel provides a powerful and expressive routing system that allows developers
to define routes in a clean and organized manner.

Dependency Injection and IoC Container: Dependency Injection (DI) and the Inversion of Control (IoC)
Container are fundamental concepts that contribute to the framework's flexibility, modularity, and
maintainability. This makes it easier to manage class dependencies and facilitates unit testing.
Laravel Mix: Laravel Mix is a tool provided by Laravel for simplifying the process of managing and compiling
assets, such as JavaScript and CSS files, in web applications. It's built on top of Webpack, which is a popular
module bundler for modern JavaScript applications.
Authentication and Authorization: Laravel provides a simple and comprehensive system for user
authentication. Additionally, it includes a robust authorization system that can be easily customized to suit
the needs of your application.
Database Migrations and Seeding: Laravel's migration system allows developers to version-control the
database schema, making it easy to share databases across development teams. Seeders help populate the
database with sample or default data.
Task Scheduling and Queues: Laravel provides a convenient way to schedule tasks using the task scheduler.
Queues allow you to defer the processing of time-consuming tasks, improving the responsiveness of your
application.

Installation of php
To install PHP on your system, you can follow different steps depending on your operating
system. Here are instructions for the most common operating systems:
For Windows:
Using XAMPP:
Download and install XAMPP, which includes PHP, Apache, MySQL, and other components.
Follow the installation wizard to set up XAMPP.
Start the Apache server.
Using WampServer:
Download and install WampServer.
Follow the installation instructions.
Once installed, start WampServer, and it will automatically start the Apache server with PHP.

Verifying Installation:
After installation, you can verify that PHP is installed by opening a terminal or command prompt and typing:
php -v
This command should display the PHP version installed on your system.
To run a PHP script, create a file with a .php extension, for example, hello.php, and add the following content:
<?php
echo "Hello, World!";
?>
Save the file and run it using the following command in the terminal or command prompt:
php hello.php

How PHP code is parsed
1. The Web browser requests a document with a .php extension.
2. The Web server sends the request on to the PHP parser.
3. The PHP parser scans the requested file for PHP code.
4. When the PHP parser finds PHP code, it executes that code and places the resulting output (if
any) into the place in the file formerly occupied by the code.
5. This new output file is sent back to the Web server.
6. The Web server sends the output file along to the Web browser.
7. The Web browser displays the output.
18

Because the PHP code is parsed by the server, this
method of code execution is called server-side. When
code is executed by the browser, such as with JavaScript,
it is called client-side.
4/30/2024

Basic PHP Syntax
1. A PHP script can be placed
anywhere in the document.
1. A PHP script starts with <?php and
ends with ?>
<?php
// PHP code goes here
?>
4/30/2024

The default file extension for PHP files is
".php".
A PHP file normally contains HTML tags,
and some PHP scripting code.
4/30/2024

PHP Case Sensitivity
In PHP, keywords (e.g. if, else,
while, echo, etc.), classes,
functions, and user-defined
functions are not case-sensitive.
22

Executing PHP and viewing in browser
● PHP File
● Save in htdocs
● Open browser
● Local Host
● Open the file path
23

Embedding PHP and HTML
<html>
<title>HTML with PHP</title>
<body>
<h1>My Example</h1>
<?php
//your PHP code goes here
?>
Here is some more HTML
<?php
//more PHP code
?>
</body>
</html>
24

PHP Variables
Variables are "containers" for storing information.
In PHP, a variable starts with the $ sign, followed by the name of the variable:
<?php
$txt = "Hello world!";
$x = 5;
$y = 10.5;
?>
25

PHP Variables
A variable can have a short name (like x and y) or a more descriptive name
(age, carname, total_volume).
Rules for PHP variables:
● A variable starts with the $ sign, followed by the name of the variable
● A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character
● A variable name cannot start with a number
● A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and
underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ )
● Variable names are case-sensitive ($age and $AGE are two different
variables)
Remember that PHP variable names are case-sensitive!
4/30/2024

Output Variables
The PHP echo statement is often used to output data to the
screen.
<?php
$txt = "Kristu Jayanti College";
echo "I love $txt!";
?>
27

Output Variables
<?php
$txt = "Kristu Jayanti College";
echo "I love " . $txt . "!";
?>
28

Output Variables
<?php
$x = 5;
$y = 4;
echo $x + $y;
?>
29

PHP Data Types
PHP Data Types
Variables can store data of different types, and different data types can do different things.
PHP supports the following data types:
● String
● Integer
● Float (floating point numbers - also called double)
● Boolean
● Array
● Object
● NULL
30

PHP Data Types
PHP String
● A string is a sequence of characters, like "Hello world!".
● A string can be any text inside quotes. You can use single or double quotes:
<?php
$x = "Hello world!";
$y = 'Hello world!';
echo $x;
echo " ";
echo $y;
?>
31

PHP Data Types
PHP Integer
An integer data type is a non-decimal number between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647.
Rules for integers:
● An integer must have at least one digit
● An integer must not have a decimal point
● An integer can be either positive or negative
● Integers can be specified in: decimal (base 10), hexadecimal (base 16), octal (base 8), or binary (base 2)
notation
32

PHP Data Types
● In the following example $x is an integer. The PHP var_dump() function returns the data type and value:
<?php
$x = 5985;
var_dump($x);
?>
var_dump() provides detailed information about each variable, including its data type and value.
33

PHP Data Types
PHP Float
A float (floating point number) is a number with a decimal point or a number in exponential form.
<?php
$x = 10.365;
var_dump($x);
?>
34

PHP Data Types
PHP Boolean
A Boolean represents two possible states: TRUE or FALSE.
$x = true;
$y = false;
35

PHP Data Types
PHP Array
An array stores multiple values in one single variable.
In the following example $cars is an array.
<?php
$cars = array("Volvo","BMW","Toyota");
var_dump($cars);
?>
36

PHP Data Types
PHP Object
Classes and objects are the two main aspects of object-oriented programming.
A class is a template for objects, and an object is an instance of a class.
When the individual objects are created, they inherit all the properties and behaviors from the
class, but each object will have different values for the properties.
Let's assume we have a class named Car. A Car can have properties like model, color, etc. We
can define variables like $model, $color, and so on, to hold the values of these properties.
When the individual objects (Volvo, BMW, Toyota, etc.) are created, they inherit all the
properties and behaviors from the class, but each object will have different values for the
properties.
37

PHP Data Types
PHP NULL Value
Null is a special data type which can have only one value: NULL.
A variable of data type NULL is a variable that has no value assigned to it.
If a variable is created without a value, it is automatically assigned a value of NULL.
<?php
$x = "Hello world!";
$x = null;
var_dump($x);
38

PHP Comments
Syntax for single-line comments:
<?php
// This is a single-line comment
# This is also a single-line comment
?>
39

PHP Comments
Syntax for multiple-line comments:
<?php
/*
This is a multiple-lines comment block
that spans over multiple
lines
*/
?>
40

Output?
<?php
// You can also use comments to leave out parts of a code line
$x = 5 /* + 15 */ + 5;
echo $x;
?>
41

PHP Operators
PHP Operators
Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values.
PHP divides the operators in the following groups:
● Arithmetic operators
● Assignment operators
● Comparison operators
● Increment/Decrement operators
● Logical operators
● String operators
● Array operators
● Conditional assignment operators
42

PHP Arithmetic Operators
The PHP arithmetic operators are used with numeric values to perform common arithmetical operations, such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication etc.
43

PHP Assignment Operators
The PHP assignment operators are used with numeric values to write a value to a variable.
The basic assignment operator in PHP is "=". It means that the left operand gets set to the value of the
assignment expression on the right.
44

PHP Assignment Operators
<?php
$x = 15;
$x %= 4;
echo $x;
?>
45

PHP Comparison Operators
spaceship operator
46

spaceship operator
The spaceship operator or combined comparison operator is denoted by “<=>“. This is a three-way comparison operator and
it can perform greater than, less than and equal comparison between two operands.
This operator has similar behavior like strcmp() . This operator can be used with integers, floats, strings, arrays, objects, etc.
This <=> operator offers combined comparison :
● Return 0 if values on either side are equal
● Return 1 if value on the left is greater
● Return -1 if the value on the right is greater
47

The PHP comparison operators are used to compare two values (number or string):
● Example:
● // Comparing Integers
● echo 1 <=> 1; // outputs 0
● echo 3 <=> 4; // outputs -1
● echo 4 <=> 3; // outputs 1
● // String Comparison
● echo "a" <=> "a"; // outputs 0
● echo "m" <=> "y"; // outputs -1
● echo "y" <=> "c"; // outputs 1
48

The PHP comparison operators are used to compare two values (number or string):
<?php
$x = 100;
$y = "100";
if ($x == $y)
{
echo
"TRUE";
}
else
<?php
$x = 100;
$y = "100";
if ($x === $y)
{
echo
"TRUE";
}
else 49

PHP Increment / Decrement Operators
The PHP increment operators are used to increment a variable's value.
The PHP decrement operators are used to decrement a variable's value.
50

<?php
$x = 10;
echo ++$x;
?>
<?php
$x = 10;
echo $x++;
?>
51

PHP Logical Operators
The PHP logical operators are used to combine conditional statements.
52

<?php
$x = 100;
$y = 50;
if ($x == 100 and $y == 50) {
echo "Hello world!";
}
?>
53

<?php
$x = 100;
$y = 50;
if ($x == 100 or $y == 80) {
}
?>
54

<?php
$x = 100;
$y = 50;
if ($x == 100 xor $y == 80) {
}
?>
55

PHP String Operators
PHP has two operators that are specially designed for strings.
<?php
$txt1 = "Hello";
$txt2 = " world!";
echo $txt1 . $txt2;
?>
<?php
$txt1 = "Hello";
$txt2 = " world!";
$txt1 .= $txt2;
echo $txt1;
?>
56

Access Specifiers in PHP
There are 3 types of Access Specifiers available in PHP, Public, Private and Protected.
• Public - class members with this access modifier will be publicly accessible from anywhere,
anywhere, even from outside the scope of the class.
• Private - class members with this keyword will be accessed within the class itself. It protects
protects members from outside class access with the reference of the class instance.
• Protected - same as private, except by allowing subclasses to access protected superclass
members.
