Study Notes

PHP Programming Fundamentals

Variable names in PHP are case sensitive, and spaces are not allowed. Multi-word variable names should be separated with underscores.
Variable variables in PHP allow indirect access to the contents of a variable without knowing its name directly.
Type casting in PHP is the process of converting a variable or value into a desired data type, useful for arithmetic computations.
Constants in PHP are identifiers for unchangeable values and are automatically global across the entire application.
PHP has various types of operators, including arithmetic, assignment, logical, and comparison operators, each with specific functions and examples.
The switch-case statement in PHP is used to perform different actions based on different conditions.
PHP supports different types of loops, including while, do-while, and for loops, each with its own syntax and usage examples.
Breaking a loop in PHP is achieved using the "break" statement, allowing for early exit from a loop based on a specific condition.
The "continue" statement in PHP is used to skip the rest of the current loop iteration and continue execution at the next iteration.
Arrays in PHP can store one or more values in a single variable name and come in three different kinds: numeric, associative, and multidimensional arrays.
Error management in PHP involves understanding and handling both external errors and logic errors, with four levels of error conditions: strict standard problems, notices, warnings, and errors.
PHP includes the ability to require or include files using the "require," "include," "require_once," and "include_once" functions, each with its own behavior and implications.
