PHP: Variables and Operators
<?php
$first = 100;
$second = 200;
<?php
$third = $first + $second; $uname=“abcd";
echo "Sum = ".$third; $upass=“abcd123";
if($uname=="abcd" || $upass=="abcd123")
?> {
header('location:http://localhost/relogin.php');
<?php }
$x=10; else
{
$y=3; echo "Invalid name or password";
//remainder }
?>
$rem=$x%$y;
echo "remainder=".$rem."<br/>";
?>
PHP-Arrays <html>

<html> <?php
$marks = array(
<body>
“student1" => array (
<?php "physics" => 35,
$numbers = array( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); "maths" => 30,
"chemistry" => 39
foreach( $numbers as $value ) { ),
echo "Value is $value <br />"; “student2" => array (
"physics" => 30,
} "maths" => 32,
$numbers[0] = "one"; $numbers[1] = "two"; "chemistry" => 29
) );
$numbers[2] = "three"; $numbers[3] = "four";
$numbers[4] = "five"; /* Accessing multi-dimensional array values */
echo "Marks for student1 in physics : " ;
foreach( $numbers as $value ) { echo $marks[‘student1']['physics'] . "<br />";
echo "Value is $value <br />";
echo "Marks for student2 in maths : ";
}
echo $marks[‘student2']['maths'] . "<br />";
?>

echo "Sum of the two numbers is : $sum"; }

Usage of $_POST
<form method="post">
<?php
<table align="center">
extract($_POST);
<tr> if(isset($swap))
<td>Enter First number</td> {
$x=$fn;
<td><input type="text" name="fn"/></td> $y=$sn;
</tr> $z=0;
$z=$x;
<tr> $x=$y;
<td>Enter Second number</td> $y=$z;
echo "<p align='center'>Now First numebr is : ". $x ."<br/>";
<td><input type="text" name="sn"/></td> echo "and Second number is : ". $y."</p>";
