Min($array) // find the min value in the array

Sort($array) // sorting the array

Rsort($array) // reverse sorting the array

Implode(“ * “, $array) // creating from an array to a string, items separate by *

Looping

for each loop: (only work for array)

foreach($array as $value) :: loop through all array elements

statement;

foreach($array as $key => $value :: if key didn't defined, it

would use its index position

statement;
:: continue ::

if($val = 5){

continue } :: in an loop, it will skip anything, continue without doing

anything.

Continue <==> break

POINTER:::::::::::::::::::::)

current($array) – return the current array pointer is;)

next($array)

reset($array)

FUNCTION::::::

function func_Name ($arg){

statement;

global $var

FUNCTION DEFAULT VALUE:

function pain($color = “red”){

statement; } :: if no arg is passing when calling the function,

$color= red; else $color = arg;
