About php
• Php is server-side code.
• Php typically sits in a php tag inside an html doc, so we refer to it as a script.
• The server executes the php code as it delivers the html to the client.
• Php provides a way for the serv er to dynamically render an html page.
PHP available at instant rails or xampp
• http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
Xampp site has downloads for exe, zip and install formats of apache (server), php, mysql, perl and filezilla.
Instant Rails comes with mysql, php, and ruby.
Either way, remember to start your apache server to serve php documents.
This semester we will use InstantRails, available at
http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl
After download of xampp/install- run control panel:C:\xampp\xampp\xampp-control.exe
Xampp Control panel running
Instant Rails also has a control panel to start apache and mysql servers – the I thingy
Control panel running with both apache and mysql started.
Running a php – notice the URL
For xampp, put php here: xampp\apache\htdocs
In instant rails, put php scripts in www dir
The extension: .php
• .php tells the (server) to run the php interpreter for the embedded script.
• You can use the usual script tag but the
<?php ?>
notation is less typing.
Test1.php – note simple variable definition… type is dynamically allocated
<html>
<?php $myvar="message string"; echo $myvar;
?>
other stuff
<html>
Php running in instant rails: navigate to http://localhost/appname.php (even
though it has html tags)
Calling predefined Phpinfo()
Script to call phpinfo()
<html>
<?php
phpinfo()
?>
<html>
Trivial.php<html><head> <title> today.php </title></head><body><p><?php print "<b>Welcome to my home page <br /> <br />"; print "Today is:</b> "; print date("l, F jS"); print "<br />";?></p></body></html>
Trivial.php
Control structures… note variables get $
<html><?php
$myvar="message string"; $times = 5; $x = 0; while ($x < $times) {echo "Hello World<br/>"; ++$x; }
?><html>
browser
Create a long long webpage
<html><?php$number = 1000;$current = 0;while ($current < $number) {++$current;echo "$current<br/>";}?>
Numbers 1..1000
Powers.php text example<html><head> <title> powers.php </title></head><body><table border = "border"><caption> Powers table </caption><tr><th> Number </th><th> Square Root </th><th> Square </th><th> Cube </th><th> Quad </th></tr><?phpfor ($number = 1; $number <=10; $number++) {$root = sqrt($number);$square = pow($number, 2);$cube = pow($number, 3);$quad = pow($number, 4);print("<tr align = 'center'> <td> $number </td>");print("<td> $root </td> <td> $square </td>");print("<td> $cube </td> <td> $quad </td> </tr>");}?></table></body></html>
A table of powers
Just the php part
<?phpfor ($number = 1; $number <=10; $number++) {$root = sqrt($number);$square = pow($number, 2);$cube = pow($number, 3);$quad = pow($number, 4);print("<tr align = 'center'> <td> $number </td>");print("<td> $root </td> <td> $square </td>");print("<td> $cube </td> <td> $quad </td> </tr>");}?>
arrays
• Arrays have similarities to arrays and hashes (from perl)
Using an array<html><?php$names[0] = 'John';$names[1] = 'Paul';$names[2] = 'Steven';$names[3] = 'George';$names[4] = 'David';$number = 5;$x = 0;while ($x < $number) {$namenumber = $x + 1;echo "Name $namenumber is $names[$x]<br>";++$x;}?><html>
Using an array
Another array as html list
The script<html><body>The list<ul><?php$family=array('keely','shanny','tisha','mom','dad');foreach($family as $member){echo "<li>$member";}?></ul></body></html>
Different output from an array
Script from previous slide
<?php
$family=array('keely','shanny','tisha','mom','dad');
print_r($family);
?>
A hash (array): key-value pairs
The script for previous slide<html><body><ul><?php$family=array('Keely'=>'daughter','Patricia'=>'daughter','Siobhan'=>'da
ughter','Katie'=>'mom','Dennis'=>'dad');foreach($family as $key=>$person){echo "<li>$key is a $person";}?></ul></body></html>
Sorting an array: text example
<?php$original = array("Fred" => 31, "Al" => 27, "Gandalf" => "wizzard", "Betty" => 42, "Frodo" => "hobbit");?><h4> Original Array </h4><?phpforeach ($original as $key => $value) print("[$key] => $value <br />");
$new = $original;sort($new);?><h4> Array sorted with sort </h4><?phpforeach ($new as $key => $value) print("[$key] = $value <br />");
$new = $original;sort($new, SORT_NUMERIC);?>
Sorting an array: text example<h4> Array sorted with sort and SORT_NUMERIC </h4><?phpforeach ($new as $key => $value) print("[$key] = $value <br />");$new = $original;rsort($new);?><h4> Array sorted with rsort </h4><?phpforeach ($new as $key => $value) print("[$key] = $value <br />");$new = $original;asort($new);?><h4> Array sorted with asort </h4><?phpforeach ($new as $key => $value) print("[$key] = $value <br />");$new = $original;arsort($new);?><h4> Array sorted with arsort </h4><?phpforeach ($new as $key => $value) print("[$key] = $value <br />");?>

Handling file data
Data file
23231name frm filestreet from filecity from filezip from file
A few modified lines in popcorn php to read from a file
//getting data via file reads$file=fopen("popcorn.txt","r") or die ("file error");$unpop=fgets($file,50);$caramel=fgets($file,50);$caramelnut=fgets($file,50);$toffeynut=fgets($file,50);$name=fgets($file,50);$street=fgets($file,50);$city=fgets($file,50);$payment=fgets($file,50);
Writing to a file
Open a file for output, too
$readfile=fopen("popcorn.txt","r") or die ("read file error");
$writefile=fopen("popcornbill.txt","w") or die ("write file error");
Write to the file$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$name);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$street);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$city);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$payment);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$unpop);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$unpop_cost);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$caramel);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$caramel_cost);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$caramelnut);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$caramelnut_cost);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$toffeynut);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$toffeynut_cost);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$total_price);$bytes=fwrite($writefile,$total_items);print ("popcornbill.txt has been written<br/>");

Same user wrong pw
• User is found in position 8 but the pw is wrong.
• I did not complete the part with a cookie and a link to another page.
regular expressions
• php supports pattern matching/regular expressions the same way javascript and perl do
