Server-side Scripts
Scripts (programs) developed to run
at server side (result will be sent to
clients)
Examples: JSP, ASP, Python, Perl, PhP.
etc

PhP
PHP is an open-source technology
PHP is platform independent
PHP also supports many databases

First PhP Script


(example)

PhP Syntax
Whitespace insensitive
Statements ended by semicolon
Comments
/*.*/ for multiple lines
// or # for a line

PhP Syntax
Variables
All variables in PHP are denoted with a
leading dollar sign ($).
Variables can, but do not need, to be
declared before assignment
Variables used before they are assigned
have default values.

Types
Integers are whole numbers, without a decimal point, like
495.
Doubles are floating-point numbers, like 3.14159 or 49.0.
Booleans have only two possible values: TRUE and FALSE.
NULL is a special type that only has one value: NULL.
Strings are sequences of characters, like PHP 4.0 supports
string operations.
Arrays are named and indexed collections of other values.
Objects are instances of programmer-defined classes,
which can package up both other kinds of values and
functions that are specific to the class.
Resources are special variables that hold references to
resources external to PHP (such as database connections).

Output
echo
print

Control Structures
Similar to JavaScript
if, if else
for
while
switch case

Functions

characters;
strlen($short_string)
strpos($short_string,9)

To compare: ==

substr($short_string,5)
substr($short_string,5,6)

Obtaining Data
<?php
$str=$_GET['string'];
$res="";
for($i=0;$i<strlen($str);$i++){
$res=$str[$i].$res;
}
echo $res;
?>

Two ways to use HTML in PhP
