    Server-side Scripts
    Scripts (programs) developed to run
    at server side (result will be sent to
    clients)
    Examples: JSP, ASP, Python, Perl, PhP.
    etc

    PhP
    PHP is an open-source technology
    PHP is platform independent
    PHP also supports many databases

    First PhP Script


    (example)

    PhP Syntax
    Whitespace insensitive
    Statements ended by semicolon
    Comments
    /*.*/ for multiple lines
    // or # for a line

    PhP Syntax
    Variables
    All variables in PHP are denoted with a
    leading dollar sign ($).
    Variables can, but do not need, to be
    declared before assignment
    Variables used before they are assigned
    have default values.

    Types
    Integers are whole numbers, without a decimal point, like
    495.
    Doubles are floating-point numbers, like 3.14159 or 49.0.
    Booleans have only two possible values: TRUE and FALSE.
    NULL is a special type that only has one value: NULL.
    Strings are sequences of characters, like PHP 4.0 supports
    string operations.
    Arrays are named and indexed collections of other values.
    Objects are instances of programmer-defined classes,
    which can package up both other kinds of values and
    functions that are specific to the class.
    Resources are special variables that hold references to
    resources external to PHP (such as database connections).

    Output
    echo
    print

    Control Structures
    Similar to JavaScript
    if, if else
    for
    while
    switch case

    Functions
    Similar to JavaScript

    $my_string=This is a string;
    $another_string=This is another string;
    $statement = everything I say;
    $question_1 = Do you have to take statement so
    literally?\n<BR>;
    $question_2 = Do you have to take $statement so
    literally?\n<BR>;
    echo $question_1;
    echo $question_2;
    Do you have to take everything I say so literally?
    Do you have to take $statement so literally?\n

    String
    $sport = volleyball;
    $plan1 = I will play $sport in the
    summertime;
    $plan2 = I will play {$sport} in the
    summertime;

    13

    String index
    $str=abcde
    $str[0] a
    $str[3] d

    14

    Concatenation
    $my_two_cents = I want to give you a piece of my
    mind ;
    $third_cent = And another thing;
    print($my_two_cents . ... . $third_cent);
    I want to give you a piece of my mind ... And another
    thing

    15

    String Functions
    $short_string = This string has 29
    characters;
    strlen($short_string)
    strpos($short_string,9)
    strrpos($short_string,a)
    To compare: ==
    strstr($short_string,has)
    substr($short_string,5)
    substr($short_string,5,6)
    16

    Forms

    orms are means for convey data from users (via Web browse
    o server

    <body>
    <form name="string" action="reverse.php"
    method="GET">

    name="string"/>
    <input type="submit" value="Reverse"/>

    POST vs. GET


    GET: query data sent as a part of URL
    POST: data is hidden

    18

    Obtaining Data
    <?php
    $str=$_GET['string'];
    $res="";
    for($i=0;$i<strlen($str);$i++){
    $res=$str[$i].$res;
    }
    echo $res;
    ?>

    HTML & PhP


    Two ways to use HTML in PhP
