User-defined functions allow programmers to define reusable blocks of code to perform tasks. Functions are defined using the function keyword followed by a name and parameters. Code within the function body is executed when the function is called. Functions may take arguments, have default values, return values, and be called recursively. Functions can also be defined inside other functions.
Loops execute a block of code a specified number of times, or while a specified condition is true.
Often when you write code, you want the same block of code to run over and over again in a row. Instead of adding several almost equal lines in a script we can use loops to perform a task like this.
In PHP, we have the following looping statements:
while - loops through a block of code while a specified condition is true
do...while - loops through a block of code once, and then repeats the loop as long as a specified condition is true
for - loops through a block of code a specified number of times
foreach - loops through a block of code for each element in an array

Regular expressions are used to identify whether a pattern exists in a given sequence of characters (string) or not. They help in manipulating textual data, which is often a pre-requisite for data science projects that involve text mining. You must have come across some application of regular expressions: they are used at the server side to validate the format of email addresses or password during registration, used for parsing text data files to find, replace or delete certain string, etc.
A pointer is a variable whose value is the address of another variable, i.e., direct address of the memory location. Like any variable or constant, you must declare a pointer before you can use it to store any variable address.
There are few important operations, which we will do with the help of pointers very frequently. (a) we define a pointer variable (b) assign the address of a variable to a pointer and (c) finally access the value at the address available in the pointer variable. This is done by using unary operator * that returns the value of the variable located at the address specified by its operand.
Super keyword is a reference variable that is used for refer parent class object. Super keyword is used in java at three level, at variable level, at method level and at constructor level.
A function is a group of statements that together perform a task. Every C program has at least one function, which is main(), and all the most trivial programs can define additional functions. You can divide up your code into separate functions.
PHP string function helps us to manipulate string in various ways. There are various types of string function available. Here we discuss some important functions and its use with examples.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

2. PHP User-defined functions
PHP has a large number of built-in functions such as mathematical, string, date, array functions etc. It is also
possible to define a function as per specific requirement. Such function is called user defined function.
A function is a reusable block of statements that performs a specific task. This block is defined with function
keyword and is given a name that starts with an alphabet or underscore. This function may be called from
anywhere within the program any number of times.
Syntax
3. Function may be defined with optional but any number of arguments.
However, same number of arguments must be provided while calling.
Function's body can contain any valid PHP code i.e. conditionals,
loops etc. (even other functions or classes may be defined inside a
function). After executing statements in the block, program control
goes back to the location from which it was invoked irrespective of
presence of last statement of function block as return. An expression
in front of return statement returns its value to calling environment.
4. user defined function Example
<?php
//function definition
function sayHello()
{
echo "Hello World!";
}
//function call
sayHello();
?>
Output
Hello World!
5. function with arguments
<?php
function add($arg1, $arg2){
echo $arg1+$arg2 . "n";
}
add(10,20);
add("Hello", "World");
?>
Example
Output
30
PHP Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in line 3
In second call, two string values are given as function arguments. Since PHP doesn't support + operator for
strings, a warning is emitted.
6. function return
User defined function in following example processes the provided arguments and returns a value to calling
environment
Example
<?php
function add($arg1, $arg2){
return $arg1+$arg2;
}
$val=add(10,20);
echo "addition:". $val. "n";
$val=add("10","20");
echo "addition: $val";
?>
Output
addition:30
addition:30
In second call, even if arguments are string, PHP coerces them into integer and performs addition
7. function with default argument value
While defining a function , a default value of argument may be assigned. If value is not assigned to such argument
while calling the function, this default will be used for processing inside function. In following example, a function is
defined with argument having default value
Example
<?php
function welcome($user="Guest"){
echo "Hello $usern";
}
//overrides default
welcome("admin");
//uses default
welcome();
?>
Output
Hello admin
Hello Guest
In second call, function is called without passing value. In this case, user argument takes its default value.
8. Function with variable number of arguments
It is possible to define a function with ability to receive variable number of arguments. The name of formal
argument in function definition is prefixed by ... token. Following example has add() function that adds a list of
numbers given as argument
Example
<?php
function add(...$numbers){
$ttl=0;
foreach ($numbers as $num){
$ttl=$ttl+$num;
}
return $ttl;
}
$total=add(10,15,20);
echo "total= $totaln";
echo "total=". add(1,2,3,4,5). "n";
?>
Output
total= 45
total=15
9. <?php
function add(){
$numbers=func_get_args();
$ttl=0;
foreach ($numbers as $num){
$ttl=$ttl+$num;
}
return $ttl;
}
$total=add(10,15,20);
echo "total= $totaln";
echo "total=". add(1,2,3,4,5). "n";
?>
Output
total= 45
total=15
It is also possible to obtain a list of arguments passed to a function with the help of func_get_args() function. We
can run a PHP loop to traverse each value in the list of arguments passed. In that case the function definition
doesn't have a formal argument.
10. Function within another function
A function may be defined inside another function's body block. However, inner function can not be called before
outer function has been invoked.
Example
<?php
function hello(){
echo "Hellon";
function welcome(){
echo "Welcome to the world of programmingn";
}
}
//welcome();
hello();
welcome();
?>
Remove the comment to call wlcome() bfore hello(). Following error message halts the program −
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function welcome()
Output
Hello
Welcome to the world of programming
11. Recursive function
A function that calls itself is called recursive function. Calling itself unconditionally creates infinite loop and results
in out of memory error because of stack full. Following program calls factorial() function recursively
Example
<?php
function factorial($n){
if ($n < 2) {
return 1;
} else {
return ($n * factorial($n-1));
}
}
echo "factorial(5) = ". factorial(5);
?>
Output
factorial(5) = 120
