Comments in PHP

A comment in PHP code is a line that is not executed as a part of the program. Its only purpose is to be read by someone who is looking at the code.

Comments can be used to:

  • Let others understand your code
  • Remind yourself of what you did - Most programmers have experienced coming back to their own work a year or two later and having to re-figure out what they did. Comments can remind you of what you were thinking when you wrote the code

PHP supports several ways of commenting:


Single Line Commenting

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
// This is a single-line comment

# This is also a single-line comment
?>

</body>
</html>

Multi line Commenting

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
/*
This is a multiple-lines comment block
that spans over multiple
lines
*/
?>

</body>
</html>

PHP Variables

-
  In PHP, a variable starts with the  $  sign, followed by the name of the variable: for example: <?php $txt =  "Hello RK!" ; $x =  5 ; $y =  10.5 ; ?> 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) NOTE: Remember that PHP variable names are case-sensitive! Output The PHP  echo  statement is often used to output data to the screen. The following example will show how to output text and a variable: Example 1: <?php $txt =  "RK" ; echo   "I love $txt!" ; ?> Example 2: <?php $txt =  "RK" ; echo   &q

PHP Operators

-
 There are following types of operator in PHP: Arithmetic operators Assignment operators Comparison operators Increment/Decrement operators Logical operators String operators Array operators Conditional assignment operators Arithmetic operators: + Addition $x + $y Sum of $x and $y - Subtraction $x - $y Difference of $x and $y * Multiplication $x * $y Product of $x and $y / Division $x / $y Quotient of $x and $y % Modulus $x % $y Remainder of $x divided by $y ** Exponentiation $x ** $y Result of raising $x to the $y'th power Assignment operators: x = y x = y The left operand gets set to the value of the expression on the right x += y x = x + y Addition x -= y x = x - y Subtraction x *= y x = x * y Multiplication x /= y x = x / y Division x %= y x = x % y Modulus Comparison operators: == Equal $x == $y Returns true if $x is equal to $y === Identical $x === $y Returns true if $x is equal to
