    Basic PHP Syntax: Arrays Strings and Regular Expressions

    Uploaded by

    shyam
    1. The document discusses PHP arrays and strings. It defines how to create arrays, access elements, and use common array functions like count(), print_r(), sort(). It also covers looping through arrays with foreach. 2. Multidimensional arrays and string functions like strcmp(), strpos(), str_replace() are explained. Regular expressions in PHP are also introduced. 3. Functions in PHP do not specify parameter or return types. Default parameters and returning values are demonstrated. Embedded PHP allows mixing HTML and PHP code through expression blocks like <?php ?> and <?= ?>.

    Arrays
    2

    $name = array(); # create


    $name = array(value0, value1, ..., valueN);
    $name[index] # get element value
    $name[index] = value; # set element value
    $name[] = value; # append PHP

    $a = array(); # empty array (length 0)


    $a[0] = 23; # stores 23 at index 0 (length 1)
    $a2 = array("some", "strings", "in", "an", "array");
    $a2[] = "Ooh!"; # add string to end (at index 5)
    PHP

    Append: use bracket notation without specifying


    an index
    Element type is not specified; can mix types

    Regular expressions
    10

    [a-z]at #cat, rat, bat


    [aeiou]
    [a-zA-Z]
    [^a-z] #not a-z
    [[:alnum:]]+ #at least one alphanumeric char
    (very) *large #large, very very very large
    (very){1, 3} #counting very up to 3
    ^bob #bob at the beginning
    com$ #com at the end PHPRegExp

    Regular expression: a pattern in a piece of text


    PHP has:
    POSIX
    Perl regular expressions

    11 Embedded PHP

    CS380
    Printing HTML tags in PHP =
    12
    bad style
    <?php
    print "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML
    1.1//EN\"\n";
    print
    " \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd\">\n";
    print "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">\n";
    print " <head>\n";
    print " <title>Geneva's web page</title>\n";
    ...
    for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
    print "<p> I can count to $i! </p>\n";
    }
    ?> HTML
    best PHP style is to minimize print/echo
    statements in embedded PHP code
    but without print, how do we insert dynamic
    content into the page?
    PHP expression blocks
    13

    <?= expression ?> PHP

    <h2> The answer is <?= 6 * 7 ?> </h2>


    PHP

    The answer is 42
    output

    PHP expression block: a small piece of PHP that


    evaluates and embeds an expression's value into
    HTML
    <?php<?=
    expression
    print ?> is?>
    expression; equivalent to:
    PHP

    Expression block example

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"


    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head><title>CSE 190 M: Embedded PHP</title></head>
    <body>
    <?php
    for ($i = 99; $i >= 1; $i--) {
    ?>
    <p> <?= $i ?> bottles of beer on the wall, <br />
    <?= $i ?> bottles of beer. <br />
    Take one down, pass it around, <br />
    <?= $i - 1 ?> bottles of beer on the wall. </p>
    <?php
    }
    ?>
    </body>
    </html> PHP
    Common errors: unclosed
    15
    braces, missing = sign
    ...
    <body>
    <p>Watch how high I can count:
    <?php
    for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
    ?>
    <? $i ?>
    </p>
    </body>
    </html> PHP
    if you forget to close your braces, you'll see an
    error about 'unexpected $end'
    if you forget = in <?=, the expression does not
    produce any output
    CS380
    Complex expression blocks
    16

    ...
    <body>
    <?php
    for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++) {
    ?>
    <h<?= $i ?>>This is a level <?= $i ?>
    heading.</h<?= $i ?>>
    <?php
    }
    ?>
    </body> PHP

    This is a level 1 heading.


    This is a level 2 heading.
    This is a level 3 heading. output

    Functions

    CS380
    Functions
    18

    function name(parameterName, ..., parameterName) {


    statements;
    } PHP

    function quadratic($a, $b, $c) {


    return -$b + sqrt($b * $b - 4 * $a * $c) / (2 *
    $a);
    } PHP

    parameter types and return types are not written


    a function with no return statements implicitly
    returns NULL

    CS380
    Default Parameter Values
    19

    function print_separated($str, $separator = ", ") {


    if (strlen($str) > 0) {
    print $str[0];
    for ($i = 1; $i < strlen($str); $i++) {
    print $separator . $str[$i];
    }
    }
    } PHP

    print_separated("hello"); # h, e, l, l, o
    print_separated("hello", "-"); # h-e-l-l-o
    PHP

    if no value is passed, the default will be used

    CS380
    PHP Arrays Ex. 1
    20

    Arrays allow you to assign multiple values to one


    variable. For this PHP exercise, write an array
    variable of weather conditions with the following
    values: rain, sunshine, clouds, hail, sleet, snow,
    wind. Using the array variable for all the weather
    conditions, echo the following statement to the
    browser:
    We've seen all kinds of weather this month. At the
    beginning of the month, we had snow and wind.
    Then came sunshine with a few clouds and some
    rain. At least we didn't get any hail or sleet.
    Don't forget to include a title for your page, both

    in the header and on the page itself.


    CS380
    PHP Arrays Ex. 2
    21

    For this exercise, you will use a list of ten of the


    largest cities in the world. (Please note, these are
    not the ten largest, just a selection of ten from
    the largest cities.) Create an array with the
    following values:Tokyo, Mexico City, New York
    City, Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai, Lagos, Buenos
    Aires, Cairo, London.
    Print these values to the browser separated by

    commas, using a loop to iterate over the array.


    Sort the array, then print the values to the
    browser in an unordered list, again using a loop.
    Add the following cities to the array:Los Angeles,

    Calcutta, Osaka, Beijing. Sort the array again,
