Study Notes
Conditional Statements
- Conditional statements are used to perform different actions based on different decisions.
- The if...else statement is used to execute a set of code when a condition is true and another set of code when the condition is false.
- The elseif statement is used with the if...else statement to execute a set of code if one of several conditions is true.
The if...else Statement
- The if...else statement is used to execute some code if a condition is true and another code if a condition is false.
- If more than one line should be executed if a condition is true/false, the lines should be enclosed within curly braces.
The elseif Statement
- The elseif statement is used to execute some code if one of several conditions are true.
The Switch Statement
- The switch statement is used to select one of many blocks of code to be executed.
- The switch statement is used to avoid long blocks of if..elseif..else code.
Looping
- Looping statements are used to perform the same block of code to run a number of times.
- PHP has four types of looping statements: while, do...while, for, and foreach.
The while Statement
- The while statement will execute a block of code if and as long as a condition is true.
- The while statement will continue to run as long as the specified condition is true.
The do...while Statement
- The do...while statement will execute a block of code at least once, and then repeat the loop as long as a condition is true.
- The do...while statement will continue to increment the variable as long as it has a value of less than or equal to a specified value.
The for Statement
- The for statement is the most advanced of the loops in PHP.
- The for statement is used when you know how many times you want to execute a statement or a list of statements.
- The for statement has three parameters: initialization, condition, and increment.
The foreach Statement
- The foreach statement is used to loop through an array.
- For every loop, the value of the current array element is assigned to $value (and the array pointer is moved by one).
