PHP Guide

Working with PHP
1. Software Required for PHP Code running

To run a PHP script, you will need these software’s to complete this tutorial successfully
1. Server: Install the Wamp Server OR Xamp Server
2. Editor : Notepad OR Notepad++ OR Dreamweaver
3. Clint: Any Browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome etc)

2. Some Useful Notes about PHP Code
It is important to note following things
a. PHP is case sensitive scripting language
b. Save the PHP scripting file in WWW folder inside the Wamp Server (if you are
working with Wamp Server) OR in htdocs folder if you are using Xamp as your Server
c. It is important to note that PHP script is written between the php tag as shown in the next
figure
<?php
?>
d. We can embed the PHP tag inside the HTML file

3. What is PHP?
First PHP program
1. Type the following code in your chosen editor.
2. Every statement of PHP script must be terminated with semicolon.
3. Save the file in the WWW folder(as we are using Wamp Server)
WWW folder location is chosen
Save As Type: PHP is selected
4. Now, open the Browser and type localhost in the address bar, this will open the default
page for the Wamp server

5. Next, type your PHP file name as
localhost\Test.PHP
6. This will show you the output
Congratulations! You have successfully run the PHP
first test Page.
In the first program, we have used the

echo "Aslam-o-Alaikum";
echo is used to output the Text enclosed inside the quotes “ ”.
we can also use the print statement instead of echo statement to output the
messages as well.
Replace the echo statement with the following print statement, save the file and run
the browser, you will see the same output as echo statement has presented with
you.
print "Aslam-o-Alaikum";
Embedding/Adding the HTML tags inside the echo statement
We can embed all the HTML tags inside the echo statement of PHP. This is shown
in the next Script.
Open the previously saved file , i.e. Test.php, and add some more code in it as
shown
You can see that we have added some HTML tags inside the echo statement. This
demo also shows the usage of print statement discussed above.
Variables in PHP
1. In PHP variables are declared by prefixing their name with dollor sign ($)
2. As PHP is case sensitive, so $no1, $No1 Or $NO1 are three different
variable names in PHP
3. Example for using Variables in PHP
4. Open the above saved Test.PHP file and modify its code as shown
5. Save and run the file in the Browser

6. One thing is important to note in the above code
echo "Sum=".$sum;
. Operator to concatenate string to numeric data

Decision Making in PHP
if statement in PHP
if statement in PHP as the same syntax as in C/C++.
The Syntax of simple if statement in PHP
if(Condition)
Statement1;
Second syntax of if statement
if(Condition)
{
Statement1;
Statement1;
}
Example:
If-else statement in PHP
The Syntax of simple if-else statement in PHP
if(Condition)
Statement1;
else
Statement1;
Example:
The Syntax of simple if-else statement in PHP
if(Condition)
{
Statement1;
Statement2;
}
else
{
Statement1;
Statement2;
}
Example:
Nested if-else statement in PHP
Nested if-else structure Example
Switch statement in PHP
Example:
Loops in PHP
for loop
for loop in PHP as the same syntax as in C/C++.
Example:
Save and run the script. The sample output is shown by:
while loop in PHP
do-while loop in PHP
Example:
*Decision Making and Looping is as easy as in C/C++
* You are require to practice all the Looping Programs of Programming
Fundamentals/OOP in PHP
Passing Data from HTML to PHP Web Page
Design these two forms
Save it asCustomerRegistraiton.html and its code is shown here
<html>
<body>
<b>Customer Registration </b><br/>
<form action="Test.php" method="Post">
<Table width="100%">
<tr>
<Td width="15%">Name: </td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtCustomerName" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cell# </td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtCustomerCellNo" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<Td>Email address: </td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtCustomerEmailAddress" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>City:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtCustomerCity" /></td>
</tr>
<Tr>
<td></td>
<td><input type="Submit" value="Submit" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Code the PHP page and save it as CustomerRegistationStatus.PHP
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo"<b>Customer with following details has been Registered
Successfully................<b /><br />";
echo "Name:".$_POST["txtCustomerName"];
echo"<br/>";
echo "Cell#:".$_POST["txtCustomerCellNo"];
echo"<br/>";
echo "Email:".$_POST["txtCustomerEmailAddress"];
echo"<br/>";
echo "City:".$_POST["txtCustomerCity"];
?>
</body>
</html>
Run the HTML
http://localhost/CustomerRegistraiton.html
