INTRODUCTION 
• It is an interpreted, server-side scripting language. 
• Originally designed for web development. 
• Similar languages are Perl, ASP.NET, Ruby, JSP (Java 
Server Pages) 
• Embedded into HTML 
• Can use DB (MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, Postgre 
SQL)
PHP stands for?? 
Personal Home Page
HISTORY 
• Began in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf 
• Soon he named PHP/FI to build simple, dynamic web 
applications. 
• In 1995 -the release of PHP/FI as "Personal Home Page 
Tools (PHP Tools) version 1.0". 
• In 1997 Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans rewrote 
the parser and formed the base of PHP 3, changing the 
name PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. 
• On May,2000, PHP 4 was released, 
• On July , 2004, PHP 5 was released, powered by the new 
Zend Engine II. 
• In 2008 PHP 5 became the only stable version under 
development. 
• Finally after a vote the current version released in 2014 .
SCRIPTING LANGUAGE
SCRIPTING LANGUAGE 
• A scripting language is: 
– cross-platform since interpreter is easy to port 
– implicit variable declaration 
– compiled on demand 
– Extending 
– Glue programming
HOW PHP WORKS??
BASIC PHP SYNTAX 
<?php 
?>
VARIABLES IN PHP 
• All variables in PHP start with a $ sign symbol. 
• Variables may contain strings, numbers, or arrays. 
<html> 
<body> 
<?php $txt="Hello World"; echo $txt; 
?> 
</body> 
</html>
DATA TYPES 
• String 
$name=“x” 
– 'My name is x.' 
– "My name is $name." 
• Boolean 
• Integer 
• Floating point 
• Array 
– $a=array("tokyo", "hanoi", "london") 
– $a=array("japan" => "tokyo", "vietnam" => 
"hanoi", "england" => "london") 
– $a[2] 
– $a["vietnam"]
STRING HANDLING 
• String literals (constants) enclosed in double quotes “ ” 
or single quotes ‘ ’ 
• Within “”, variables are replaced by their value: – called 
variable interpolation. “My name is $name, I think” 
• Strings are concatenated (joined end to end) with the 
dot operator “key”.”board” == “keyboard”
THE IF...ELSE STATEMENT 
Syntax 
if (condition) 
code to be executed if condition is true; 
else 
code to be executed if condition is false;
Syntax 
switch (expression) 
{ 
case label1: code to be executed if expression = 
label1; break; 
case label2: code to be executed if expression = 
label2; break; 
default: code to be executed if expression 
is different from both label1 
and label2; 
} 
THE SWITCH STATEMENT
PHP FUNCTION 
• Strlen(); 
• Strcmp(); 
• Date(); 
• Time(); 
• Include(); 
• Require();
STATE MANAGEMENT 
• It is used to help web 
applications to maintain 
their state across several 
HTTP requests when 
needed. 
• Cookies 
• Session
SESSION 
• Better option of cookie 
• Store information about a user. They 
are available only for a particular 
application and hold information of 
only one single user.
Syntax: 
<?php start_session(); ?>
<?php start_session(); 
$_SESSION[‘user_name’]=‘’ 
$_SESSION[‘pwd’]=‘’ 
?> //create a session
select username,password 
From table 
Where username=‘textbox1’ and 
password=‘textbox2’
<?php start_session(); 
$_SESSION[‘user_name’]= 
$_SESSION[‘pwd’]= 
if(isset($_SESSION[‘username’])) 
Echo “Welcome”. $_SESSION[‘name’] 
?> //retrieve a session
• session_destroy(); 
• unset(); 
<?php start_session(); 
$_SESSION[‘user_name’]= 
if(isset($_POST[“lgt_btn"])) 
unset($_SESSION[‘user_name’]); 
?> Name of the 
Logout button
FEATURES OF PHP 
– Support for MySQL, Oracle, dbm, DB2, 
PostgreSQL 
– Can connect to any database which 
provides an ODBC driver (Open Database 
Connectivity Standard) – e.g. MS Access. 
– Supported on Windows, Mac OS X, other 
Unix-like systems (e.g. Linux). 
– Similar syntax and features as C++ and Java. 
– PHP designer,Wampp/Xampp are free of 
cost.
