variables in PHP:

local :

global :outside the function.

static

inside a function.

NOTE: we can't access global variables inside a function.

if we want to access global variables inside the function we use the Global
keyword.

Super global keyword in PHP:

$GLOBALS['y']
var dump($x) // to give the datatype of the variable.

$_POST (php super global super variable)

It can bind the form data.

$_SERVER
gives info about header path and script location.
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
will return to itself,
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAM']
filter_var()
gives specific filter to the variable.
ex: filter_var('email',filter-validate,(optional)flag)
//checks if the email in the email textbox is a valid email
