PHP is a Scripting Language
 Not compiled, interpreted
 Easy way to get database info to Web
 Short learning curve as OO is optional
 Forgiving and intuitive code structure
 Similar in nature to Net.Data, not as verbose

Who uses PHP?
• Yahoo, GE, Fiat, Mazda, Disney
• On i, Harris Data, United Rentals, Starbucks, Prada
• Kids coming out of school (low $)
• Open source developers – 10,000+ projects
• Community - strong in knowledge and support
• 7 million+ developers
• IBM
 CMS
• Many, many more!

• PHP is to Java what RPG is to COBOL!

How PHP works
• PHP Runs on the server

• The primary goal of PHP is to generate something to the
browser it can digest!
 HTML, JavaScript, Flax, XML, Flex, Etc.
• HTML is the primary language of the web so let’s look at

that for a bit...

Fundamentals of HTML (Quick review)

HTML
• The default presentation language of the web!

 Easy to learn
 Think about when you learned interactive IBM i programming

• You learned DDS, right…so you can learn HTML too!
 Tag oriented: <b>bolded text</b>
 Many tags make up the language
 Nested orientation

HTML 4 – Structure of an HTML Document
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>An HTML Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello world! </p>
</body>
</html>
|
16
HTML
• Popular HTML tags

• <table></table> Table definition (looks like a subfile)
• <head></head> Page header
• <title></title> Page Title, usually appears in tab…
• <p></p> Paragraph
• <br /> Carriage return/line break
• Hyperlink via Anchor tag:
 <a href=“myPHPscript.php”>Text that will link</a>

Fundamentals of PHP

PHP and your two new best friends

21
PHP Script Structure
• PHP script structure
 <?php will start a script
 Optionally ?> terminates block or script
 Semicolon terminates simple code segment
 May embed multiple block of PHP code in single script
 May have multiple PHP lines per line in code file

<html><head><title>This is my script</title></head><body>
<?php
<html><head><title>This is my script</title></head><body>
echo ‘Hello World’;
<?php echo ‘Hello World’; ?>
?>
</body></hmtl>
</body></hmtl>
PHP101
22
Variables
<?php
• Rules
$field1 = 5;
 Case senstive $field2 = 10.6;
$field3 = $field1 + $field2;
 Begin with $ $field1 = “Hello World”;
• $thisIsMyVariable
?>
• $_AnotherVariable
• $ this is not a variable
 Implicit casting
 Can be re-typed (Dynamically Typed Language)

PHP101
23
Variables and their types
• Scalar
 Integer
• -2,147,483,648 thru 2,147,483,647
• Supports decimal, octal and hex representation
 Floating-Point
• 1.7E-308 thru 1.7E+308
• 15 digits of decimal precision
 Strings
• Big. Really big. Too big to discuss!
 Boolean
• False is 0, 0.0, false keyword, empty string, object w/no values, null. All
others are true
• Four complex types: Object, array, null and resource

PHP101
24
Variables…(cont.)
• Scope
 Global – Available everywhere but inside function (sort of)
 Local – Available only in a function, destroyed at end
 Static – Available only in a function, but remains
• Arrays (three types)

 Enumerated
 Associative
 Multi-dimensional

PHP101
25
Arrays: Value assignment
• Enumerated
 $Animals[0] = ‘Dog’
 $Animals[1] = ‘Cat’
 $Animals[2] = ‘Hamster’
• Associative
 $Barnyard[‘Cow’] = ‘Calf’
 $Barnyard[‘Chicken’] = ‘Chick’
 $Barnyard[‘Horse’] = ‘Foal’
• Multi-dimensional
 $farm[0] = $Animals
 $farm[1] = $Barnyard
PHP101
26
Strings
• Most of PHP is character strings

• Single quotes
 Variables not expanded
 Heavy use of concatenation operator “.”
 $string1 = ‘This is the value of variable x: ’ . $x
• Double quotes
 Variables interpolation
 $string2 = “This is the value of variable x: $x”

PHP101
27
Operators
• Most common operators apply (+,-,*,/,etc.)
• Concatenation
 $greeting =‘My name is ’
 DEFINE (TEACHER, ‘Mike Pavlak’) //Note uppercase…
 $salute = $greeting . TEACHER (My name is Mike Pavlak)

• Increment / decrement
 $a++, ++$a ($a = $a + 1)
 $a--, --$a ($a = $a – 1)
• Logical operators
 && and
 || or
 ! not
PHP101
28
Comments
• A brief comment about comments

• // (C++ style)
 indicates single line comment
 May use at end of line of live code
 Easily comments a line of code
• /* … */ (C Style)
 Looks like CL? Pretty close
 Comment block,
 Can span multiple lines
• Shell style #
PHP101
29
The dreaded equal sign
• = Single equal sign is assignment
 $X=3
 $Y=$X
 Now $Y = 3
• == Double equal sign is for conditions

 If ($x==$y) { do something} else {do something else}
 If you see single equal in condition, assignment will occur
• === Triple equal sign is exact equal conditions

 $X= 3 (Integer) $Y=3.0 (Float)
 If ($x==$y) will resolve to true
 If ($x===$y) will resolve to false

PHP101
30
Flow control
• If
 Condition
• Else
 Condition
if ($x == 5) {
One line, no parenthesis…
$x++;
$y++;
if ($x == 5)
}
$x++;
else {
else
$x--;
$x--;
$y--;
}
|
31
Flow control (cont…)
• While (condition) {
 Do something
• }
• Break and continue
While ($x < $y) {

$x++;
if ($x==5) break;
echo $x;
}
|
33
Flow control (cont…)
• Foreach
 Iterate over elements in an array
$array1[0]=‘ham’;
$array1[1]=‘salami’;
$array1[2]=‘bologna’;
foreach ($array1 as $index=>$value) {

echo ‘Element ‘ . $index . ‘ is ‘ . $value.’<br />’;
}
Element 0 is ham
Element 1 is salami
Element 2 is bologna
