PHP Cheat Sheet

Chapter 1: Introduction to PHP

What is PHP?

PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor. It is a widely-used open-source scripting language especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.

History and Evolution

PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994. It started as a set of CGI scripts written in C. Over the years, PHP evolved into a robust server-side scripting language with support for object-oriented programming, databases, and more.

Installing PHP (Windows, Linux, Mac)

On Windows: Download from https://windows.php.net/, extract, and set environment variables.
On Linux: Use package managers like apt: sudo apt install php
On Mac: Use Homebrew: brew install php

Running PHP in Browser and CLI

PHP scripts are run by a web server with PHP installed (like Apache). For CLI, you can execute PHP using the terminal:

  <!-- Run a PHP file from terminal -->
  php filename.php
  
(Output will be printed to the terminal or browser)

Basic PHP Structure

PHP code is written between <?php and ?> tags.

  <!-- PHP syntax always starts with <?php and ends with ?> -->
  <?php
    // This is a single-line comment
    /* This is a 
       multi-line comment */
       
    // Use echo to print text
    echo "This is a basic PHP script";
  ?>
  
This is a basic PHP script

Writing First PHP Script (echo "Hello World")

This script demonstrates the use of the echo statement to output text.

  <!-- Start of PHP script -->
  <?php
    // Print "Hello World" to the output
    echo "Hello World";
  ?>
  
Hello World

PHP in HTML Files

PHP can be embedded directly into HTML documents to generate dynamic content.

  <!-- A simple HTML page with embedded PHP -->
  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head>
    <title>PHP in HTML</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome</h1>
    <p>
      <?php
        // Insert dynamic content inside HTML
        echo "Today is " . date("l");
      ?>
    </p>
  </body>
  </html>
  
Welcome
Today is (e.g., Friday)

Chapter 2: Syntax & Comments

PHP Opening and Closing Tags

Every PHP script starts with <?php and ends with ?>. This tells the server to interpret the code between these tags as PHP.

  <?php
    // This is valid PHP code
    echo "PHP is running!";
  ?>
  
PHP is running!

Case Sensitivity

PHP is case-sensitive in variables, but not in keywords like echo.

  <?php
    $name = "Alice"; // Variable names are case-sensitive
    echo $name;      // Correct
    // echo $Name;   // Incorrect, would cause an undefined variable error
  ?>
  
Alice

Semicolons and Line Endings

Each statement in PHP ends with a semicolon (;). Missing semicolons will cause syntax errors.

  <?php
    echo "Line one"; // Each line ends with a semicolon
    echo "Line two"; // Another statement
  ?>
  
Line one
Line two

Single-line Comments (//, #)

PHP supports two types of single-line comments: // and #.

  <?php
    // This is a single-line comment using //
    # This is a single-line comment using #
    echo "Single-line comments work!";
  ?>
  
Single-line comments work!

Multi-line Comments (/* */)

Multi-line comments span multiple lines using /* */.

  <?php
    /* This is a multi-line comment
       that can span several lines
       to explain more complex logic */
    echo "Multi-line comments are useful.";
  ?>
  
Multi-line comments are useful.

PHP as an Embedded Language

PHP can be embedded within HTML to add dynamic content. The server interprets the PHP parts before sending the HTML to the browser.

  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head><title>Embedded PHP</title></head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome</h1>
    <p>
      <?php
        // Display today's date using embedded PHP
        echo "Today is " . date("Y-m-d");
      ?>
    </p>
  </body>
  </html>
  
Welcome
Today is 2025-05-09 (example)

Good Syntax Practices

Writing clean PHP code means using indentation, consistent naming, commenting where necessary, and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

  <?php
    // Good practice: use consistent formatting and spacing
    $firstName = "John";
    $lastName = "Doe";

    // Combine names with a space
    $fullName = $firstName . " " . $lastName;

    // Output the result
    echo "Full name: " . $fullName;
  ?>
  
Full name: John Doe

Chapter 3: Variables & Constants

Declaring Variables

Variables in PHP are declared by using the $ symbol followed by the variable name. The variable does not have a specific type when it is declared, PHP will determine the type automatically based on the value assigned.

  <!-- Declare a variable named $name -->
  <?php
    $name = "John"; // Variable holding a string value
    echo $name; // Output the value of $name
  ?>
  
John

Naming Conventions

When naming variables, the following rules apply:

  • Variable names must begin with a letter or an underscore.
  • They can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores.
  • They are case-sensitive (e.g., $name is different from $Name).

  <!-- Valid variable names -->
  <?php
    $firstName = "Alice"; // Starts with a letter
    $_age = 25;           // Starts with an underscore
    $user123 = "Bob";     // Can contain numbers
    echo $firstName . " " . $_age; // Output: Alice 25
  ?>
  
Alice 25

Assigning Values

Values can be assigned to variables directly using the assignment operator (=).

  <!-- Assigning different types of values -->
  <?php
    $number = 10; // Assigning an integer value
    $price = 20.99; // Assigning a float value
    $isAvailable = true; // Assigning a boolean value

    echo $number . " " . $price . " " . $isAvailable; // Output the values
  ?>
  
10 20.99 1

Predefined Variables

PHP provides several predefined variables such as $_GET, $_POST, $_SERVER, and others that are commonly used in web development.

  <!-- Example of using $_SERVER predefined variable -->
  <?php
    echo "Server Software: " . $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']; // Output the server software info
  ?>
  
Server Software: Apache/2.4.41 (Unix)

Creating Constants (define, const)

Constants are similar to variables but once set, their values cannot be changed. They can be defined using either define() or const.

  <!-- Using define to create a constant -->
  <?php
    define("SITE_NAME", "MyWebsite"); // Define constant
    echo SITE_NAME; // Output the constant value
  ?>
  
MyWebsite

Checking Variable Types (gettype(), is_*)

PHP provides functions such as gettype() and various is_* functions to check the type of a variable.

  <!-- Check variable type using gettype() -->
  <?php
    $var = 10;
    echo gettype($var); // Output: integer
  ?>
  
integer
  <!-- Use is_* functions to check types -->
  <?php
    $var = "Hello";
    if (is_string($var)) {
      echo "It is a string"; // Check if variable is a string
    }
  ?>
  
It is a string

Variable Variables

In PHP, a variable can have its name determined dynamically using a variable variable.

  <!-- Example of Variable Variables -->
  <?php
    $varName = "name"; // Define a variable
    $$varName = "John"; // Create variable $name dynamically

    echo $name; // Output the dynamically created variable
  ?>
  
John

Chapter 4: Data Types

Scalar Types: Integer, Float, String, Boolean

PHP supports four scalar data types:

  • Integer: Whole numbers, positive or negative.
  • Float: Decimal numbers.
  • String: A sequence of characters enclosed in quotes.
  • Boolean: Represents true or false.

Example of Scalar Types:

  <?php
    // Integer type
    $age = 30;

    // Float type
    $price = 19.99;

    // String type
    $name = "John Doe";

    // Boolean type
    $isActive = true;

    echo $age . " " . $price . " " . $name . " " . $isActive;
  ?>
  
30 19.99 John Doe 1

Compound Types: Array, Object

Compound types can hold multiple values:

  • Array: A collection of values.
  • Object: Instances of user-defined classes.

Example of Compound Types:

  <?php
    // Array type
    $fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
    
    // Object type (using a simple class)
    class Car {
      public $brand;
      public $model;
      
      function __construct($brand, $model) {
        $this->brand = $brand;
        $this->model = $model;
      }
    }
    
    $myCar = new Car("Toyota", "Corolla");
    
    echo $fruits[0]; // Accessing array element
    echo $myCar->brand; // Accessing object property
  ?>
  
appleToyota

Special Types: Null, Resource

PHP has two special types:

  • Null: Represents a variable with no value.
  • Resource: A special variable that holds a reference to an external resource (like a database connection).

Example of Special Types:

  <?php
    // Null type
    $data = null;

    // Resource type (simulating database connection)
    $connection = fopen("file.txt", "r");
    
    var_dump($data);
    var_dump($connection);
  ?>
  
NULL resource(3) of type (stream)

Type Casting

Type casting is converting one data type to another. PHP provides explicit and implicit type casting.

Example of Type Casting:

  <?php
    // Explicit casting (int)
    $str = "123.45";
    $int = (int)$str; // Cast string to integer
    
    echo $int; // Output: 123
  ?>
  
123

Automatic Type Juggling

PHP automatically converts between data types in certain situations. This is called "type juggling".

Example of Automatic Type Juggling:

  <?php
    // Adding a string and a number
    $result = "10" + 5; // PHP automatically converts string to integer
    echo $result; // Output: 15
  ?>
  
15

var_dump() and print_r()

var_dump() and print_r() are used to display information about variables. var_dump() provides more detailed information, including data type and value.

Example of var_dump() and print_r():

  <?php
    $data = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
    
    // var_dump: displays type and value
    var_dump($data);
    
    // print_r: displays only value in a readable format
    print_r($data);
  ?>
  
array(3) { [0]=> string(5) "apple" [1]=> string(6) "banana" [2]=> string(6) "cherry" } Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => cherry )

Chapter 5: Strings

Declaring Strings (single vs double quotes)

In PHP, strings can be declared using either single or double quotes. Single quotes do not parse variables or escape sequences, while double quotes do.

  <!-- Single quotes -->
  <?php
    $singleQuoteString = 'Hello, $name'; // Variables won't be parsed
    echo $singleQuoteString; // Outputs: Hello, $name
  ?>

  <!-- Double quotes -->
  <?php
    $name = "John";
    $doubleQuoteString = "Hello, $name"; // Variables will be parsed
    echo $doubleQuoteString; // Outputs: Hello, John
  ?>
  
Hello, $name
Hello, John

Concatenation (. operator)

The dot (.) operator is used to concatenate two or more strings together in PHP.

  <?php
    $firstName = "John";
    $lastName = "Doe";
    $fullName = $firstName . " " . $lastName; // Concatenates strings
    echo $fullName; // Outputs: John Doe
  ?>
  
John Doe

String Interpolation

String interpolation allows you to directly include variables inside a string, but it works only with double-quoted strings.

  <?php
    $greeting = "Hello";
    $name = "Alice";
    echo "$greeting, $name!"; // Outputs: Hello, Alice!
  ?>
  
Hello, Alice!

Heredoc and Nowdoc

HeredocNowdoc is similar, but does not parse variables.

  <?php
    // Heredoc syntax
    $name = "Bob";
    $heredocString = <<<EOD
    Hello, $name!
    Welcome to Heredoc.
    EOD;
    echo $heredocString; // Outputs: Hello, Bob! Welcome to Heredoc.
  ?>

  <!-- Nowdoc syntax -->
  $nowdocString = <<<'EOD'
  Hello, $name!
  Welcome to Nowdoc.
  EOD;
  echo $nowdocString; // Outputs: Hello, $name! Welcome to Nowdoc.
  
Hello, Bob!
Welcome to Heredoc.
Hello, $name!
Welcome to Nowdoc.

Escaping Characters

To include special characters (like quotes) inside a string, use escape sequences (backslashes).

  <?php
    $escapedString = "He said, \"Hello, World!\""; // Escaping double quotes
    echo $escapedString; // Outputs: He said, "Hello, World!"
  ?>
  
He said, "Hello, World!"

String Length and Functions (strlen(), strpos())

PHP provides several built-in string functions. strlen() returns the length of a string, and strpos() finds the position of a substring.

  <?php
    $string = "Hello, World!";
    echo strlen($string); // Outputs: 13 (length of the string)

    $position = strpos($string, "World"); // Finds the position of "World"
    echo $position; // Outputs: 7
  ?>
  
13
7

Multibyte Strings (mb_* functions)

PHP provides the mb_* functions to handle multibyte encodings like UTF-8. Functions like mb_strlen() are used to calculate the length of multibyte strings.

  <?php
    $mbString = "こんにちは"; // Japanese for "Hello"
    echo mb_strlen($mbString); // Outputs: 5 (number of characters in the string)
  ?>
  
5

Chapter 6: Operators

Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used to perform common mathematical operations.

  <!-- Example of Arithmetic Operators -->
  <?php
    $a = 10;
    $b = 5;

    echo "Addition: " . ($a + $b); // Addition
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Subtraction: " . ($a - $b); // Subtraction
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Multiplication: " . ($a * $b); // Multiplication
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Division: " . ($a / $b); // Division
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Modulus: " . ($a % $b); // Modulus (remainder)
  ?>
  
Addition: 15
Subtraction: 5
Multiplication: 50
Division: 2
Modulus: 0

Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.

  <!-- Example of Assignment Operators -->
  <?php
    $a = 10; // Simple assignment
    $a += 5; // Adds 5 to $a (equivalent to $a = $a + 5)
    echo "Value of a after +=: " . $a; // 15
    echo "<br>";

    $a -= 3; // Subtracts 3 from $a (equivalent to $a = $a - 3)
    echo "Value of a after -=: " . $a; // 12
    echo "<br>";
  ?>
  
Value of a after +=: 15
Value of a after -=: 12

Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare two values and return a boolean result.

  <!-- Example of Comparison Operators -->
  <?php
    $a = 10;
    $b = 5;

    echo "Equal: " . ($a == $b); // Check if equal
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Identical: " . ($a === $b); // Check if identical (value and type)
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Not equal: " . ($a != $b); // Check if not equal
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Greater than: " . ($a > $b); // Check if greater than
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Less than: " . ($a < $b); // Check if less than
  ?>
  
Equal: 0
Identical: 0
Not equal: 1
Greater than: 1
Less than: 0

Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to perform logical operations on expressions.

  <!-- Example of Logical Operators -->
  <?php
    $a = true;
    $b = false;

    echo "AND: " . ($a && $b); // AND operation (true if both are true)
    echo "<br>";
    echo "OR: " . ($a || $b); // OR operation (true if either is true)
    echo "<br>";
    echo "NOT: " . (!$a); // NOT operation (true if $a is false)
  ?>
  
AND: 0
OR: 1
NOT: 0

Increment and Decrement

Increment and decrement operators are used to increase or decrease a variable by one.

  <!-- Example of Increment and Decrement -->
  <?php
    $a = 10;

    echo "Pre-increment: " . ++$a; // Increment before use
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Post-increment: " . $a++; // Increment after use
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Value after post-increment: " . $a; // Value after increment
    echo "<br>";
    
    $b = 5;
    echo "Pre-decrement: " . --$b; // Decrement before use
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Post-decrement: " . $b--; // Decrement after use
    echo "<br>";
    echo "Value after post-decrement: " . $b; // Value after decrement
  ?>
  
Pre-increment: 11
Post-increment: 11
Value after post-increment: 12
Pre-decrement: 4
Post-decrement: 4
Value after post-decrement: 3

Ternary and Null Coalescing (??)

The ternary operator is a shorthand for if-else statements. The null coalescing operator is used to return the value if it is not null.

  <!-- Example of Ternary and Null Coalescing -->
  <?php
    $a = 10;
    $result = ($a > 5) ? "Greater" : "Smaller"; // Ternary operator
    echo "Ternary result: " . $result; // "Greater"
    echo "<br>";

    $b = null;
    $value = $b ?? "Default value"; // Null Coalescing Operator
    echo "Null Coalescing result: " . $value; // "Default value"
  ?>
  
Ternary result: Greater
Null Coalescing result: Default value

Bitwise Operators

Bitwise operators are used to perform operations on the binary representations of numbers.

  <!-- Example of Bitwise Operators -->
  <?php
    $a = 6; // Binary: 110
    $b = 3; // Binary: 011

    echo "AND: " . ($a & $b); // Bitwise AND
    echo "<br>";
    echo "OR: " . ($a | $b); // Bitwise OR
    echo "<br>";
    echo "XOR: " . ($a ^ $b); // Bitwise XOR
    echo "<br>";
    echo "NOT: " . ~$a; // Bitwise NOT
  ?>
  
AND: 2
OR: 7
XOR: 5
NOT: -7

Chapter 7: Conditional Statements

if Statement

The if statement evaluates a condition and runs a block of code if the condition is true.

  <?php
    $age = 18;
    if ($age >= 18) {
      echo "You are an adult.";
    }
  ?>
  
You are an adult.

else and elseif

The else statement runs if the if condition is false, and the elseif statement allows for additional conditions.

  <?php
    $age = 16;
    if ($age >= 18) {
      echo "You are an adult.";
    } elseif ($age >= 13) {
      echo "You are a teenager.";
    } else {
      echo "You are a child.";
    }
  ?>
  
You are a teenager.

Nested Conditions

Conditions can be nested within other conditions for more complex decision-making.

  <?php
    $age = 25;
    $isStudent = true;

    if ($age >= 18) {
      if ($isStudent) {
        echo "You are an adult student.";
      } else {
        echo "You are an adult.";
      }
    } else {
      echo "You are a minor.";
    }
  ?>
  
You are an adult student.

switch Statement

The switch statement is an alternative to multiple if conditions. It compares a variable against multiple values.

  <?php
    $day = "Monday";

    switch ($day) {
      case "Monday":
        echo "Start of the week!";
        break;
      case "Friday":
        echo "Almost weekend!";
        break;
      default:
        echo "Midweek days.";
    }
  ?>
  
Start of the week!

match Expression (PHP 8+)

The match expression, introduced in PHP 8, provides a more powerful alternative to switch.

  <?php
    $day = "Monday";

    match ($day) {
      "Monday" => echo "Start of the week!",
      "Friday" => echo "Almost weekend!",
      default => echo "Midweek days."
    };
  ?>
  
Start of the week!

Best Practices

It's important to keep conditional statements clear, use else if for multiple conditions, and ensure that the conditions are logically ordered.

  <?php
    $age = 30;
    $income = 45000;

    // Best practice: Keep conditions readable
    if ($age >= 18) {
      if ($income > 30000) {
        echo "You qualify for the premium service.";
      } else {
        echo "You qualify for the standard service.";
      }
    } else {
      echo "You do not qualify for any service.";
    }
  ?>
  
You qualify for the premium service.

Chapter 8: Loops

while Loop

The while loop is used to execute a block of code as long as the specified condition evaluates to true.

  <!-- Example of while loop -->
  <?php
    $i = 1; // Initializing the variable
    while ($i <= 5) { // Condition to check
        echo $i . "<br>"; // Output the value of $i
        $i++; // Increment the value of $i
    }
  ?>

do...while Loop

The do...while loop will execute the block of code at least once before checking the condition.

  <!-- Example of do...while loop -->
  <?php
    $i = 1;
    do {
        echo $i . "<br>"; // Output the value of $i
        $i++; // Increment the value of $i
    } while ($i <= 5); // Condition to check
  ?>

for Loop

The for loop is used when you know beforehand how many times you want to execute a statement or a block of code.

  <!-- Example of for loop -->
  <?php
    for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) { // Initialize $i, check condition, increment
        echo $i . "<br>"; // Output the value of $i
    }
  ?>

foreach Loop

The foreach loop is used to iterate over arrays. It is specifically designed for working with arrays in PHP.

  <!-- Example of foreach loop -->
  <?php
    $arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // Declare an array
    foreach ($arr as $value) { // Iterate over each value in the array
        echo $value . "<br>"; // Output each value
    }
  ?>

Loop Control: break and continue

Both break and continue are used to control the flow of a loop:

  • break: Exits the loop immediately.
  • continue: Skips the current iteration and moves to the next iteration of the loop.

  <!-- Example of break and continue -->
  <?php
    for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) { 
        if ($i == 5) {
            break; // Break the loop when $i is 5
        }
        if ($i == 3) {
            continue; // Skip the iteration when $i is 3
        }
        echo $i . "<br>"; // Output $i
    }
  ?>

Nested Loops

A nested loop is a loop inside another loop. The inner loop will be executed one time for each iteration of the outer loop.

  <!-- Example of nested loops -->
  <?php
    for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++) { // Outer loop
        for ($j = 1; $j <= 3; $j++) { // Inner loop
            echo "($i, $j) "; // Output the values of $i and $j
        }
        echo "<br>"; // New line after each iteration of outer loop
    }
  ?>
  
(1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 3)
(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 3)
(3, 1) (3, 2) (3, 3)

Looping Arrays

You can use loops to iterate over array elements. The foreach loop is the most common for array iteration, but other loops like for and while can also be used.

  <!-- Loop through an associative array using foreach -->
  <?php
    $person = array("name" => "Alice", "age" => 25, "city" => "New York"); // Associative array
    foreach ($person as $key => $value) { // Iterate through key-value pairs
        echo $key . ": " . $value . "<br>"; // Output each key-value pair
    }
  ?>
  
name: Alice
age: 25
city: New York

Chapter 9: Arrays

Indexed Arrays

Indexed arrays are arrays that use numerical indexes starting from 0.

Example of Indexed Arrays:

  <?php
    // Declare an indexed array
    $fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
    
    // Accessing array elements using indexes
    echo $fruits[0]; // Output: apple
  ?>
  
apple

Associative Arrays

Associative arrays are arrays where each element is assigned a key, which can be a string or an integer.

Example of Associative Arrays:

  <?php
    // Declare an associative array
    $person = [
      "name" => "John",
      "age" => 25,
      "city" => "New York"
    ];
    
    // Accessing array elements using keys
    echo $person["name"]; // Output: John
  ?>
  
John

Multidimensional Arrays

Multidimensional arrays are arrays that contain other arrays as elements. These can be two-dimensional (like matrices) or more.

Example of Multidimensional Arrays:

  <?php
    // Declare a multidimensional array
    $students = [
      ["name" => "Alice", "age" => 22, "grade" => "A"],
      ["name" => "Bob", "age" => 23, "grade" => "B"],
      ["name" => "Charlie", "age" => 24, "grade" => "C"]
    ];
    
    // Accessing elements of the multidimensional array
    echo $students[0]["name"]; // Output: Alice
  ?>
  
Alice

Array Declaration and Access

Arrays can be declared using the array() function or shorthand syntax. Array elements can be accessed using their indexes or keys.

Example of Array Declaration and Access:

  <?php
    // Array declaration using the array() function
    $colors = array("red", "green", "blue");
    
    // Accessing array elements
    echo $colors[1]; // Output: green
  ?>
  
green

Modifying Arrays

Arrays can be modified by adding, updating, or removing elements.

Example of Modifying Arrays:

  <?php
    // Declare an indexed array
    $fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
    
    // Adding an element to the array
    $fruits[] = "orange";
    
    // Updating an element in the array
    $fruits[1] = "grape";
    
    // Removing an element from the array
    unset($fruits[0]);
    
    // Display the modified array
    print_r($fruits); // Output: Array ( [0] => grape [1] => cherry [2] => orange )
  ?>
  
Array ( [0] => grape [1] => cherry [2] => orange )

Iterating Arrays

Arrays can be iterated using loops like foreach, for, or while.

Example of Iterating Arrays:

  <?php
    // Declare an indexed array
    $fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
    
    // Iterating with foreach loop
    foreach ($fruits as $fruit) {
      echo $fruit . " "; // Output: apple banana cherry
    }
  ?>
  
apple banana cherry

Array Destructuring (PHP 7.1+)

PHP 7.1 introduced array destructuring, allowing you to extract elements from arrays directly into variables.

Example of Array Destructuring:

  <?php
    // Declare an indexed array
    $person = ["John", 25, "New York"];
    
    // Destructuring the array into variables
    list($name, $age, $city) = $person;
    
    echo $name . " is " . $age . " years old and lives in " . $city . "."; 
    // Output: John is 25 years old and lives in New York.
  ?>
  
John is 25 years old and lives in New York.

Chapter 10: Array Functions

count(), array_push(), array_pop()

count() returns the number of elements in an array. array_push() adds one or more elements to the end of an array. array_pop() removes the last element of an array.

  <?php
    // count() function
    $fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
    echo count($fruits); // Outputs: 3

    // array_push() function
    array_push($fruits, "orange"); // Adds "orange" to the array
    print_r($fruits); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => cherry [3] => orange )

    // array_pop() function
    array_pop($fruits); // Removes "orange" from the array
    print_r($fruits); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => cherry )
  ?>
  
3
Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => cherry [3] => orange )
Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => cherry )

array_merge() and array_combine()

array_merge() merges one or more arrays into a single array. array_combine() creates an array by using one array for keys and another for values.

  <?php
    // array_merge() function
    $array1 = ["apple", "banana"];
    $array2 = ["cherry", "date"];
    $mergedArray = array_merge($array1, $array2); // Merges both arrays
    print_r($mergedArray); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => cherry [3] => date )

    // array_combine() function
    $keys = ["name", "age"];
    $values = ["John", 30];
    $combinedArray = array_combine($keys, $values); // Combines keys and values into an associative array
    print_r($combinedArray); // Outputs: Array ( [name] => John [age] => 30 )
  ?>
  
Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => cherry [3] => date )
Array ( [name] => John [age] => 30 )

array_slice() and array_splice()

array_slice() extracts a portion of an array without affecting the original array. array_splice() removes and optionally replaces elements of an array.

  <?php
    // array_slice() function
    $array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    $slice = array_slice($array, 1, 3); // Extracts elements starting from index 1, length 3
    print_r($slice); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 3 [2] => 4 )

    // array_splice() function
    array_splice($array, 1, 2, ["a", "b"]); // Replaces 2 elements starting from index 1 with "a" and "b"
    print_r($array); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => a [2] => b [3] => 4 [4] => 5 )
  ?>
  
Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 3 [2] => 4 )
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => a [2] => b [3] => 4 [4] => 5 )

in_array() and array_search()

in_array() checks if a value exists in an array, and array_search() returns the key of the first occurrence of a value in an array.

  <?php
    // in_array() function
    $numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    echo in_array(3, $numbers) ? "Found" : "Not Found"; // Outputs: Found

    // array_search() function
    $key = array_search(4, $numbers); // Finds the index of value 4
    echo $key; // Outputs: 3
  ?>
  
Found
3

Sorting Functions

PHP provides a variety of sorting functions. For example, sort() sorts an array in ascending order, and rsort() sorts it in descending order.

  <?php
    $numbers = [5, 3, 8, 1, 2];
    sort($numbers); // Sorts the array in ascending order
    print_r($numbers); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 5 [4] => 8 )

    rsort($numbers); // Sorts the array in descending order
    print_r($numbers); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => 8 [1] => 5 [2] => 3 [3] => 2 [4] => 1 )
  ?>
  
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 5 [4] => 8 )
Array ( [0] => 8 [1] => 5 [2] => 3 [3] => 2 [4] => 1 )

Filtering and Mapping Arrays

array_filter() filters an array using a callback function, and array_map() applies a callback function to the elements of an array.

  <?php
    // array_filter() function
    $numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    $evenNumbers = array_filter($numbers, function($num) {
      return $num % 2 == 0;
    });
    print_r($evenNumbers); // Outputs: Array ( [1] => 2 [3] => 4 )

    // array_map() function
    $squaredNumbers = array_map(function($num) {
      return $num * $num;
    }, $numbers);
    print_r($squaredNumbers); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 4 [2] => 9 [3] => 16 [4] => 25 )
  ?>
  
Array ( [1] => 2 [3] => 4 )
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 4 [2] => 9 [3] => 16 [4] => 25 )

Array Keys and Values

array_keys() returns all the keys of an array, and array_values() returns all the values.

  <?php
    $array = ["a" => "apple", "b" => "banana", "c" => "cherry"];
    
    // array_keys() function
    print_r(array_keys($array)); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => a [1] => b [2] => c )

    // array_values() function
    print_r(array_values($array)); // Outputs: Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => cherry )
  ?>
  

Chapter 11: Functions

Declaring Functions

Functions are declared using the function keyword, followed by the function name and a pair of parentheses for parameters.

  <!-- Example of Declaring a Function -->
  <?php
    function greet() {
      echo "Hello, World!";
    }

    greet(); // Call the function
  ?>
  
Hello, World!

Parameters and Arguments

Functions can accept parameters, which are variables that hold values passed to the function. These values are known as arguments.

  <!-- Example of Parameters and Arguments -->
  <?php
    function greet($name) {
      echo "Hello, " . $name . "!";
    }

    greet("Alice"); // Pass the argument "Alice"
  ?>
  
Hello, Alice!

Return Values

Functions can return values using the return keyword. The returned value can be used in other parts of the code.

  <!-- Example of Return Values -->
  <?php
    function add($a, $b) {
      return $a + $b;
    }

    $result = add(3, 4); // Store the returned value in a variable
    echo "The sum is: " . $result;
  ?>
  
The sum is: 7

Default and Optional Parameters

Functions can have default parameter values. If the caller does not pass an argument for that parameter, the default value is used.

  <!-- Example of Default Parameters -->
  <?php
    function greet($name = "Guest") {
      echo "Hello, " . $name . "!";
    }

    greet(); // No argument, so the default is used
    echo "<br>";
    greet("Bob"); // Argument passed, default is ignored
  ?>
  
Hello, Guest!
Hello, Bob!

Variable-length Arguments (...)

PHP allows functions to accept an arbitrary number of arguments using the ... syntax. These arguments are passed as an array.

  <!-- Example of Variable-length Arguments -->
  <?php
    function sum(...$numbers) {
      return array_sum($numbers);
    }

    echo "The sum is: " . sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // Pass a variable number of arguments
  ?>
  
The sum is: 15

Anonymous Functions and Closures

Anonymous functions (also called closures) are functions that do not have a name. They are often used as arguments to other functions.

  <!-- Example of Anonymous Functions -->
  <?php
    $greet = function($name) {
      echo "Hello, " . $name . "!";
    };

    $greet("Charlie"); // Call the anonymous function
  ?>
  
Hello, Charlie!

Arrow Functions (PHP 7.4+)

Arrow functions, introduced in PHP 7.4, provide a shorter syntax for anonymous functions. They automatically capture variables from the surrounding scope.

  <!-- Example of Arrow Functions -->
  <?php
    $multiply = fn($a, $b) => $a * $b; // Short syntax for anonymous function

    echo "The product is: " . $multiply(3, 4);
  ?>
  
The product is: 12

Chapter 12: Superglobals

$_GET

The $_GET superglobal is used to collect form data after submitting an HTML form with method="get". It is also used to pass variables through URL parameters.

  <!-- Example using $_GET -->
  <?php
    // Retrieve the value passed via the URL
    $name = $_GET['name']; // The 'name' parameter from the URL
    echo "Hello, " . $name; // Output the value of the 'name' parameter
  ?>
  
If the URL is example.com?name=John, the output will be:
Hello, John

$_POST

The $_POST superglobal is used to collect form data after submitting a form with method="post". It is more secure than $_GET as the data is not visible in the URL.

  <!-- Example using $_POST -->
  <form method="post">
    Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>

  <?php
    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
      $name = $_POST['name']; // Collect form data from the 'name' input
      echo "Hello, " . $name; // Output the value of 'name'
    }
  ?>
  
If the form is filled with the name "Alice" and submitted, the output will be:
Hello, Alice

$_REQUEST

The $_REQUEST superglobal collects data from both $_GET and $_POST. It is a general-purpose variable for fetching user input.

  <!-- Example using $_REQUEST -->
  <form method="post">
    Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>

  <?php
    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
      $name = $_REQUEST['name']; // Collect data from POST request
      echo "Hello, " . $name; // Output the value of 'name'
    }
  ?>
  
If the form is filled with the name "Bob" and submitted, the output will be:
Hello, Bob

$_SERVER

The $_SERVER superglobal contains information about the server environment and the current request, such as the current script name, headers, and more.

  <!-- Example using $_SERVER -->
  <?php
    echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; // Displays the server's host name
    echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']; // Displays the request method (GET or POST)
  ?>
  
Example output (depends on server):
localhost
POST

$_SESSION and $_COOKIE

The $_SESSION superglobal is used to store session variables. $_COOKIE is used to store small pieces of data in the client's browser.

  <!-- Example using $_SESSION -->
  <?php
    session_start(); // Start a session
    $_SESSION['username'] = 'JohnDoe'; // Store session data
    echo $_SESSION['username']; // Retrieve session data
  ?>
  
The output will be:
JohnDoe
  <!-- Example using $_COOKIE -->
  <?php
    // Set a cookie (expires in 1 hour)
    setcookie('user', 'Alice', time() + 3600);
    
    // Retrieve the cookie
    if(isset($_COOKIE['user'])) {
      echo "Hello, " . $_COOKIE['user'];
    }
  ?>
  
If the cookie is set to "Alice", the output will be:
Hello, Alice

$_FILES

The $_FILES superglobal is used to upload files via a form. It contains information about the file uploaded.

  <!-- Example using $_FILES -->
  <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Choose a file to upload: <input type="file" name="file"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Upload">
  </form>

  <?php
    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
      if (isset($_FILES['file'])) {
        echo "File name: " . $_FILES['file']['name']; // Get file name
      }
    }
  ?>
  
If a file named "test.jpg" is uploaded, the output will be:
File name: test.jpg

$_ENV, $_GLOBALS

$_ENV contains environment variables, and $_GLOBALS contains all global variables, including those from the current script.

  <!-- Example using $_ENV -->
  <?php
    // Retrieve an environment variable (if set)
    echo getenv('PATH'); // Output system PATH variable
  ?>
  
Example output (depends on the system environment):
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
  <!-- Example using $_GLOBALS -->
  <?php
    $x = 10; // Global variable
    echo $GLOBALS['x']; // Access global variable using $_GLOBALS
  ?>
  
The output will be:
10

Chapter 13: Form Handling

Creating HTML Forms

HTML forms allow users to input data that can be sent to the server for processing. Here’s an example of a basic form:

  <!-- HTML form to submit user data -->
  <form action="process.php" method="POST">
    <label for="name">Name:</label>
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required><br>

    <label for="email">Email:</label>
    <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required><br>

    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>
  
This form will send data to "process.php" using the POST method.

Receiving Data via $_POST

Once the form is submitted, the data can be accessed using the $_POST superglobal array in PHP:

  <!-- PHP script to receive data via $_POST -->
  <?php
    // Access form data sent via POST
    $name = $_POST['name']; 
    $email = $_POST['email']; 
    
    echo "Name: " . $name . "<br>"; 
    echo "Email: " . $email;
  ?>
  
Name: (user input)
Email: (user input)

htmlspecialchars() for Security

To prevent security risks such as XSS (Cross-Site Scripting), it’s important to sanitize user input using htmlspecialchars():

  <!-- PHP script to sanitize user input -->
  <?php
    // Sanitize user input to prevent XSS attacks
    $name = htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']); 
    $email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']); 

    echo "Name: " . $name . "<br>";
    echo "Email: " . $email;
  ?>
  
Name: (sanitized user input)
Email: (sanitized user input)

Form Validation Techniques

Form validation ensures that the data submitted is correct. Basic validation checks can be done before sending data to the server:

  <!-- PHP script for form validation -->
  <?php
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
      // Check if name and email are empty
      if (empty($_POST["name"]) || empty($_POST["email"])) {
        echo "Both fields are required!"; 
      } else {
        echo "Form is valid";
      }
    }
  ?>
  
Both fields are required! (if inputs are empty)

Using filter_input()

The filter_input() function can be used to filter and validate user input, improving security:

  <!-- PHP script using filter_input() to validate email -->
  <?php
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
      // Validate email using filter_input()
      $email = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'email', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
      
      if ($email) {
        echo "Valid email: " . $email;
      } else {
        echo "Invalid email format!";
      }
    }
  ?>
  
Valid email: (valid email input)
Invalid email format! (if input is invalid)

Handling Required Fields

Required fields can be easily enforced in both HTML and PHP. Here’s an example:

  <!-- HTML form with required attribute -->
  <form action="process.php" method="POST">
    <label for="name">Name:</label>
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required><br>

    <label for="email">Email:</label>
    <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required><br>

    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>
  
If the fields are left empty, the browser will prevent form submission.

Displaying Errors

It’s important to display errors when validation fails. Here’s an example of error display:

  <!-- PHP script to display validation errors -->
  <?php
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
      if (empty($_POST["name"]) || empty($_POST["email"])) {
        echo "Both fields are required!<br>";
      } else {
        echo "Form is valid!<br>";
      }
    }
  ?>
  
Both fields are required! (if any field is empty)

Chapter 14: File Handling

Opening Files (fopen())

The fopen() function is used to open a file. It takes two parameters: the file name and the mode (e.g., read, write).

  <!-- Open a file in read mode -->
  <?php
    // Open the file for reading
    $file = fopen("example.txt", "r"); // 'r' is for read mode
    if ($file) {
      echo "File opened successfully!";
    } else {
      echo "Unable to open file.";
    }
    fclose($file); // Always close the file
  ?>
  
File opened successfully!

Reading Files (fread(), fgets())

You can read files using the fread() or fgets() functions. fread() reads the entire file, while fgets() reads one line at a time.

  <!-- Reading a file with fread() -->
  <?php
    $file = fopen("example.txt", "r");
    if ($file) {
      // Read the entire file
      $content = fread($file, filesize("example.txt"));
      echo $content;
      fclose($file);
    }
  ?>
  
(The content of example.txt will be displayed here)
  <!-- Reading a file line by line with fgets() -->
  <?php
    $file = fopen("example.txt", "r");
    if ($file) {
      while (($line = fgets($file)) !== false) {
        echo $line . "<br>";
      }
      fclose($file);
    }
  ?>
  
(The content of example.txt will be printed line by line)

Writing Files (fwrite())

The fwrite() function is used to write data to a file. If the file does not exist, it will be created (if the mode allows it).

  <!-- Writing to a file -->
  <?php
    $file = fopen("example.txt", "w"); // 'w' mode for writing
    if ($file) {
      fwrite($file, "This is some text written to the file.");
      fclose($file);
      echo "Data written successfully!";
    } else {
      echo "Unable to open file for writing.";
    }
  ?>
  
Data written successfully!

File Uploads

To handle file uploads in PHP, you need to use the $_FILES superglobal array. Below is an example of uploading a file via an HTML form.

  <!-- HTML Form for file upload -->
  <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Select file to upload: 
    <input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
    <input type="submit" value="Upload File" name="submit">
  </form>
  

PHP Script to handle file upload:

  <!-- PHP file upload script -->
  <?php
    if (isset($_FILES['fileToUpload'])) {
      $target_dir = "uploads/";
      $target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
      
      if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
        echo "The file ". htmlspecialchars( basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"])). " has been uploaded.";
      } else {
        echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
      }
    }
  ?>
  
(Upload message based on success or error)

Deleting Files (unlink())

The unlink() function is used to delete a file.

  <!-- Delete a file -->
  <?php
    if (unlink("example.txt")) {
      echo "File deleted successfully!";
    } else {
      echo "Error deleting file.";
    }
  ?>
  
File deleted successfully!

Checking Files (file_exists(), is_file())

The file_exists() function checks if a file or directory exists. The is_file() function checks if the path is a file.

  <!-- Check if a file exists -->
  <?php
    if (file_exists("example.txt")) {
      echo "File exists!";
    } else {
      echo "File does not exist.";
    }
  ?>
  
File exists!
  <!-- Check if path is a file -->
  <?php
    if (is_file("example.txt")) {
      echo "It is a file!";
    } else {
      echo "It is not a file.";
    }
  ?>
  
It is a file!

File Permissions

PHP allows you to check and change file permissions using functions like chmod() and fileperms().

  <!-- Changing file permissions -->
  <?php
    chmod("example.txt", 0755); // Set file permissions to rwxr-xr-x
    echo "Permissions changed successfully!";
  ?>
  
Permissions changed successfully!

Chapter 15: Sessions and Cookies

Starting Sessions (session_start())

In PHP, sessions are started using the session_start() function. This function must be called at the very beginning of your script, before any HTML output.

  <!-- Start a session at the beginning of the PHP script -->
  <?php
    // Start the session
    session_start();
  ?>
  
(No visible output; session is started)

Storing and Retrieving $_SESSION Values

After starting a session, you can store data in the $_SESSION superglobal array. To retrieve the data, you simply access the array by the key.

  <!-- Store and retrieve session variables -->
  <?php
    session_start(); // Start the session
    
    // Store a value in the session
    $_SESSION["username"] = "JohnDoe";
    
    // Retrieve and display the session value
    echo "Hello, " . $_SESSION["username"];
  ?>
  
Hello, JohnDoe

Destroying Sessions

To destroy a session, use session_destroy(). However, to fully remove all session variables, you should also unset them using unset().

  <!-- Destroy a session and remove session variables -->
  <?php
    session_start(); // Start the session
    
    // Unset all session variables
    session_unset();
    
    // Destroy the session
    session_destroy();
    
    echo "Session destroyed.";
  ?>
  
Session destroyed.

Creating and Reading Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of data stored in the user's browser. You can set cookies using the setcookie() function, and you can access their values using the $_COOKIE superglobal.

  <!-- Create and read cookies in PHP -->
  <?php
    // Set a cookie that expires in 1 hour
    setcookie("user", "JaneDoe", time() + 3600, "/");
    
    // Check if the cookie exists and display it
    if(isset($_COOKIE["user"])) {
      echo "Welcome back, " . $_COOKIE["user"];
    } else {
      echo "Cookie not set.";
    }
  ?>

Setting Expiry for Cookies

When setting cookies, you can specify an expiration time. The time is set in Unix timestamp format (seconds since January 1, 1970). To make a cookie expire after a certain period, you adjust this time.

  <!-- Set a cookie that expires in 30 days -->
  <?php
    // Set cookie to expire in 30 days
    setcookie("userPreference", "darkMode", time() + (30 * 24 * 60 * 60), "/"); // 30 days
    
    echo "Cookie set for 30 days.";
  ?>
  
Cookie set for 30 days.

Deleting Cookies

To delete a cookie, you must set its expiration date to a time in the past.

  <!-- Delete a cookie by setting its expiration time to the past -->
  <?php
    // Delete the "user" cookie by setting its expiration time in the past
    setcookie("user", "", time() - 3600, "/");
    
    echo "Cookie deleted.";
  ?>
  
Cookie deleted.

Secure Session Practices

To enhance security, use secure and HttpOnly flags when working with cookies. Also, always use session_regenerate_id() to avoid session fixation attacks.

  <!-- Secure session practice example -->
  <?php
    session_start(); // Start the session
    
    // Regenerate session ID to prevent session fixation
    session_regenerate_id(true);
    
    // Set secure cookie with HttpOnly and Secure flags
    setcookie("secureCookie", "secureValue", time() + 3600, "/", "", true, true); // Secure and HttpOnly
    
    echo "Secure session practices applied.";
  ?>
  
Secure session practices applied.

Chapter 16: Introduction to OOP

Defining Classes

A class in PHP is a blueprint for creating objects. It defines the properties and methods that the objects created from the class will have.

  <!-- Define a simple class -->
  <?php
    class Car {
      // Property of the class
      public $make;
      public $model;

      // Constructor to initialize properties
      public function __construct($make, $model) {
        $this->make = $make;
        $this->model = $model;
      }

      // Method of the class
      public function displayInfo() {
        return "Make: " . $this->make . ", Model: " . $this->model;
      }
    }
  ?>
  
(No direct output, class definition only)

Creating Objects

Objects are instances of a class. You can create an object using the new keyword, which calls the constructor method of the class.

  <!-- Create an object from the Car class -->
  <?php
    // Create an object of the Car class
    $car1 = new Car("Toyota", "Corolla");

    // Accessing method to display info
    echo $car1->displayInfo();
  ?>
  
Make: Toyota, Model: Corolla

Constructors and Destructors

Constructors are special methods that run automatically when an object is created. They are used to initialize the object's properties. Destructors are called when an object is destroyed, typically when the script ends or the object goes out of scope.

  <!-- Class with constructor and destructor -->
  <?php
    class Book {
      public $title;

      // Constructor to initialize title
      public function __construct($title) {
        $this->title = $title;
        echo "Book '$title' created.
"; } // Destructor to indicate object destruction public function __destruct() { echo "Book '$this->title' is being destroyed.
"; } } // Create Book object $book1 = new Book("PHP for Beginners"); ?>
Book 'PHP for Beginners' created.
Book 'PHP for Beginners' is being destroyed.

Properties and Methods

Properties are variables that belong to a class, and methods are functions that belong to a class. These define the characteristics and behaviors of objects created from the class.

  <!-- Class with properties and methods -->
  <?php
    class Animal {
      // Property
      public $name;

      // Constructor
      public function __construct($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
      }

      // Method
      public function speak() {
        echo $this->name . " makes a sound.
"; } } // Create an object $dog = new Animal("Dog"); $dog->speak(); // Calling the method ?>
Dog makes a sound.

$this Keyword

The $this keyword refers to the current object in a class. It is used to access the object's properties and methods.

  <!-- Using $this keyword -->
  <?php
    class Person {
      public $name;

      public function __construct($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
      }

      // Method using $this to access the property
      public function greet() {
        echo "Hello, " . $this->name . "!";
      }
    }

    // Create object and call method
    $person1 = new Person("John");
    $person1->greet();
  ?>
  
Hello, John!

Visibility: Public, Private, Protected

In PHP, properties and methods can have different visibility levels:

  • public: Accessible from anywhere
  • private: Accessible only within the class
  • protected: Accessible within the class and derived classes

  <!-- Example with visibility levels -->
  <?php
    class Employee {
      // Public property
      public $name;

      // Private property
      private $salary;

      // Protected property
      protected $position;

      // Constructor
      public function __construct($name, $salary, $position) {
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->salary = $salary;
        $this->position = $position;
      }

      // Method to display public property
      public function displayInfo() {
        echo "Employee: " . $this->name . "
"; } // Method to access private property public function getSalary() { return $this->salary; } } // Create object $emp = new Employee("Alice", 50000, "Developer"); $emp->displayInfo(); // Accessing public method echo "Salary: " . $emp->getSalary(); ?>
Employee: Alice
Salary: 50000

Chapter 17: Advanced OOP

Inheritance

Inheritance allows a class to inherit methods and properties from another class.

  <?php
    class Animal {
      public $name;
      public function __construct($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
      }
      public function speak() {
        return $this->name . " makes a sound";
      }
    }

    class Dog extends Animal {
      public function speak() {
        return $this->name . " barks";
      }
    }

    $dog = new Dog("Buddy");
    echo $dog->speak(); // Output: Buddy barks
  ?>
  
Buddy barks

Method Overriding

Method overriding allows a subclass to provide its own implementation of a method defined in its parent class.

  <?php
    class Vehicle {
      public function start() {
        return "Vehicle started";
      }
    }

    class Car extends Vehicle {
      // Overriding the start method
      public function start() {
        return "Car started";
      }
    }

    $car = new Car();
    echo $car->start(); // Output: Car started
  ?>
  
Car started

Abstract Classes

Abstract classes cannot be instantiated directly and are used to define methods that must be implemented by subclasses.

  <?php
    abstract class Shape {
      abstract public function area(); // Abstract method
    }

    class Circle extends Shape {
      public $radius;
      public function __construct($radius) {
        $this->radius = $radius;
      }
      public function area() {
        return pi() * pow($this->radius, 2);
      }
    }

    $circle = new Circle(5);
    echo $circle->area(); // Output: 78.539816339744
  ?>
  
78.539816339744

Interfaces

Interfaces define methods that a class must implement but cannot provide the implementation.

  <?php
    interface Payable {
      public function pay($amount);
    }

    class Employee implements Payable {
      public function pay($amount) {
        return "Paid $" . $amount;
      }
    }

    $employee = new Employee();
    echo $employee->pay(100); // Output: Paid $100
  ?>
  
Paid $100

Traits

Traits are a way to reuse code in multiple classes without inheritance. They help avoid issues with multiple inheritance.

  <?php
    trait Logger {
      public function log($message) {
        return "Log: " . $message;
      }
    }

    class Application {
      use Logger; // Using the trait
    }

    $app = new Application();
    echo $app->log("System started"); // Output: Log: System started
  ?>
  
Log: System started

Namespaces

Namespaces are used to organize code into logical groups and avoid name collisions in larger applications.

  <?php
    namespace Vehicles;
    class Car {
      public function drive() {
        return "Car is driving";
      }
    }

    namespace Animals;
    class Dog {
      public function bark() {
        return "Dog barks";
      }
    }

    $car = new \Vehicles\Car();
    echo $car->drive(); // Output: Car is driving
  ?>
  
Car is driving

Autoloading

Autoloading allows PHP to automatically include classes when they are needed, avoiding the need for explicit include or require statements.

  <?php
    spl_autoload_register(function ($class_name) {
      include $class_name . '.class.php';
    });

    // Assuming the class "Car" is defined in "Car.class.php"
    $car = new Car();
    $car->drive(); // Output: Car is driving
  ?>
  
Car is driving

Chapter 18: Error & Exception Handling

Types of Errors

In PHP, errors can be categorized into four types:

  • Parse Errors: Syntax issues.
  • Fatal Errors: Critical issues causing script termination.
  • Warning Errors: Non-critical issues.
  • Notice Errors: Minor issues like undefined variables.

Using try, catch, finally

PHP provides a try-catch-finally block to handle exceptions:

  • try: Contains code that might throw an exception.
  • catch: Catches and handles the exception.
  • finally: Executes code regardless of an exception.

  <!-- Example using try, catch, and finally -->
  <?php
    try {
      // Code that might throw an exception
      $num = 5;
      if ($num > 0) {
        throw new Exception("This is an exception");
      }
    } catch (Exception $e) {
      // Exception handling code
      echo "Caught exception: " . $e->getMessage();
    } finally {
      // Code that runs regardless of an exception
      echo "<br>Finally block executed.";
    }
  ?>
  
Caught exception: This is an exception
Finally block executed.

Throwing Exceptions

In PHP, exceptions can be thrown using the throw keyword. An exception is an object that inherits from the Exception class.

  <!-- Example of throwing an exception -->
  <?php
    function checkNumber($num) {
      if ($num > 0) {
        throw new Exception("Number must be negative.");
      }
      return $num;
    }
    
    try {
      checkNumber(1);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
      echo "Caught exception: " . $e->getMessage();
    }
  ?>
  
Caught exception: Number must be negative.

Custom Exception Classes

You can create custom exception classes by extending the built-in Exception class. This allows for specialized exception handling.

  <!-- Example of custom exception class -->
  <?php
    class CustomException extends Exception {
      public function errorMessage() {
        return "Custom error: " . $this->getMessage();
      }
    }

    try {
      throw new CustomException("This is a custom exception.");
    } catch (CustomException $e) {
      echo $e->errorMessage();
    }
  ?>
  
Custom error: This is a custom exception.

error_reporting()

The error_reporting() function sets the level of error reporting in PHP. You can choose which types of errors to report by using predefined constants.

  <!-- Example of using error_reporting() -->
  <?php
    // Report all errors except notices
    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
    
    // Example of notice that won't be shown
    $var;
  ?>
  
(No output as notice errors are suppressed)

Error Logging

PHP provides error logging functionality, which can be enabled using ini_set() and error_log(). Logs can be written to a file or sent via email.

  <!-- Example of error logging -->
  <?php
    ini_set("log_errors", 1); // Enable error logging
    ini_set("error_log", "/path/to/php-error.log"); // Set log file
    
    // Generate an error
    trigger_error("This is a custom error message.", E_USER_NOTICE);
  ?>
  
(Check the log file for the error message)

Chapter 19: MySQLi

Connecting to Database

The first step in working with a MySQL database in PHP is to establish a connection using the MySQLi extension.

  <!-- PHP code to connect to the database -->
  <?php
    // Create connection
    $conn = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "database_name");

    // Check connection
    if ($conn->connect_error) {
      die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
    }
    echo "Connected successfully";
  ?>
  
Connected successfully

Creating Tables

Once connected to the database, you can create tables using SQL commands.

  <!-- PHP code to create a table -->
  <?php
    // SQL query to create a table
    $sql = "CREATE TABLE Users (
      id INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
      firstname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
      lastname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
      email VARCHAR(50),
      reg_date TIMESTAMP
    )";

    if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
      echo "Table Users created successfully";
    } else {
      echo "Error creating table: " . $conn->error;
    }
  ?>
  
Table Users created successfully

Inserting Data

You can insert data into a table using SQL INSERT INTO queries.

  <!-- PHP code to insert data into the table -->
  <?php
    $sql = "INSERT INTO Users (firstname, lastname, email)
    VALUES ('John', 'Doe', 'john.doe@example.com')";

    if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
      echo "New record created successfully";
    } else {
      echo "Error: " . $sql . "
" . $conn->error; } ?>
New record created successfully

Selecting Data

Data can be retrieved from the database using SELECT queries.

  <!-- PHP code to select data from the table -->
  <?php
    $sql = "SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM Users";
    $result = $conn->query($sql);

    if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
      // Output data of each row
      while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["firstname"]. " " . $row["lastname"]. "
"; } } else { echo "0 results"; } ?>
id: 1 - Name: John Doe

Updating and Deleting

You can update or delete data from the table using UPDATE and DELETE SQL commands.

  <!-- PHP code to update a record -->
  <?php
    $sql = "UPDATE Users SET email='newemail@example.com' WHERE id=1";

    if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
      echo "Record updated successfully";
    } else {
      echo "Error updating record: " . $conn->error;
    }
  ?>
  
Record updated successfully
  <!-- PHP code to delete a record -->
  <?php
    $sql = "DELETE FROM Users WHERE id=1";

    if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
      echo "Record deleted successfully";
    } else {
      echo "Error deleting record: " . $conn->error;
    }
  ?>
  
Record deleted successfully

Using mysqli_fetch_*()

The mysqli_fetch_assoc() function fetches a result row as an associative array.

  <!-- PHP code using mysqli_fetch_assoc() -->
  <?php
    $sql = "SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM Users";
    $result = $conn->query($sql);

    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
      echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["firstname"]. " " . $row["lastname"]. "
"; } ?>
id: 1 - Name: John Doe

Closing Connection

After performing all database operations, it's essential to close the database connection.

  <!-- PHP code to close the connection -->
  <?php
    $conn->close();
  ?>
  
(Connection is now closed)

Chapter 20: PDO (PHP Data Objects)

PDO Introduction

PDO (PHP Data Objects) is a database access layer providing a uniform method of access to multiple databases. It does not provide database abstraction but allows for a uniform and secure way of interacting with databases.

Connecting with PDO

To connect to a database using PDO, use the new PDO() constructor. The connection string format is "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test" for MySQL.

  <?php
    try {
      // Connect to MySQL database
      $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'root', 'password');
      
      // Set PDO error mode to exception
      $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
      echo "Connected successfully!";
    } catch (PDOException $e) {
      echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
    }
  ?>
  
Connected successfully!

Prepared Statements

Prepared statements are used to execute SQL queries securely and efficiently. They help prevent SQL injection by separating SQL logic from data.

  <?php
    // Prepare a query to insert data
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (:name, :email)");

    // Bind parameters
    $stmt->bindParam(':name', $name);
    $stmt->bindParam(':email', $email);

    // Assign values to the parameters
    $name = 'John Doe';
    $email = 'johndoe@example.com';

    // Execute the statement
    $stmt->execute();
    echo "Record inserted successfully!";
  ?>
  
Record inserted successfully!

Binding Parameters

In PDO, parameters can be bound to placeholders in the SQL query. You can bind parameters by name or position.

  <?php
    // Prepare a query to select data
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = :email");

    // Bind the parameter
    $stmt->bindParam(':email', $email);

    // Assign value to parameter
    $email = 'johndoe@example.com';

    // Execute the query
    $stmt->execute();

    // Fetch the results
    $result = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    print_r($result);
  ?>
  
Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => John Doe [email] => johndoe@example.com )

Fetching Results

PDO supports various fetch methods to retrieve results from a query. Common methods include fetch() and fetchAll().

  <?php
    // Fetch all records from the users table
    $stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT * FROM users");

    // Fetch all results as an associative array
    $results = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

    // Display the results
    foreach ($results as $row) {
      echo $row['name'] . " - " . $row['email'] . "<br>";
    }
  ?>
  
John Doe - johndoe@example.com
Jane Smith - janesmith@example.com

Error Handling with PDO

Error handling in PDO is typically done using exceptions. The setAttribute() method is used to set the error mode to throw exceptions on error.

  <?php
    try {
      // Intentional error: incorrect table name
      $stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT * FROM non_existent_table");
    } catch (PDOException $e) {
      echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
    }
  ?>
  
Error: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'test.non_existent_table' doesn't exist

Transactions

PDO supports database transactions, allowing you to execute multiple queries as a single unit. This ensures data consistency. Use beginTransaction(), commit(), and rollBack().

  <?php
    try {
      // Begin transaction
      $pdo->beginTransaction();

      // Insert a record
      $stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (:name, :email)");
      $stmt->execute([':name' => 'Mark', ':email' => 'mark@example.com']);

      // Simulate a second insert
      $stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (:name, :email)");
      $stmt->execute([':name' => 'Anna', ':email' => 'anna@example.com']);

      // Commit the transaction
      $pdo->commit();
      echo "Transaction successful!";
    } catch (PDOException $e) {
      // Rollback if error occurs
      $pdo->rollBack();
      echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
    }
  ?>
  
Transaction successful!

Chapter 21: Working with APIs

What are APIs?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. It defines methods and data structures for requesting and exchanging information between systems.

JSON Encode/Decode

In PHP, we use json_encode() to convert PHP data into JSON format and json_decode() to convert JSON back to PHP data.

  <?php
    // PHP array
    $data = array("name" => "John", "age" => 30);

    // Convert array to JSON format
    $jsonData = json_encode($data);
    echo $jsonData;  // {"name":"John","age":30}

    // Convert JSON back to PHP array
    $decodedData = json_decode($jsonData, true);
    print_r($decodedData);  // Array ( [name] => John [age] => 30 )
  ?>
  
{"name":"John","age":30}
Array ( [name] => John [age] => 30 )

Using file_get_contents()

The file_get_contents() function in PHP allows you to read the contents of a file or URL into a string. It's often used to fetch data from APIs.

  <?php
    // Fetch data from an API
    $jsonData = file_get_contents("https://api.example.com/data");

    // Decode the JSON response
    $data = json_decode($jsonData, true);

    // Output the data
    print_r($data);
  ?>
  
Array ( [key1] => value1 [key2] => value2 )

Using cURL

cURL is a library in PHP that allows you to make HTTP requests. It's more powerful and flexible than file_get_contents() and is commonly used for interacting with APIs.

  <?php
    // Initialize cURL session
    $ch = curl_init();

    // Set cURL options
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.example.com/data");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    // Execute cURL request and get the response
    $response = curl_exec($ch);

    // Close the cURL session
    curl_close($ch);

    // Decode JSON response
    $data = json_decode($response, true);

    // Output the data
    print_r($data);
  ?>
  
Array ( [key1] => value1 [key2] => value2 )

Sending Data with cURL

You can send data (such as JSON) to an API using cURL by setting appropriate cURL options, such as CURLOPT_POST for POST requests.

  <?php
    // Initialize cURL session
    $ch = curl_init();

    // Set cURL options for sending data
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.example.com/submit");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode(["name" => "John", "age" => 30]));

    // Set the Content-Type header to application/json
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json"));

    // Execute cURL request and get the response
    $response = curl_exec($ch);

    // Close the cURL session
    curl_close($ch);

    // Output the response
    echo $response;
  ?>
  
{"status":"success"}

Consuming REST APIs

REST APIs allow you to interact with web services using standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. You can consume REST APIs by sending HTTP requests to the server and processing the responses.

  <?php
    // Initialize cURL session
    $ch = curl_init();

    // Set cURL options for a GET request
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.example.com/records");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    // Execute cURL request and get the response
    $response = curl_exec($ch);

    // Close the cURL session
    curl_close($ch);

    // Decode the JSON response
    $data = json_decode($response, true);

    // Output the data
    print_r($data);
  ?>
  
Array ( [record1] => value1 [record2] => value2 )

Building a Simple API Endpoint

You can create your own API endpoint by writing a PHP script that handles HTTP requests and returns a response in JSON format.

  <?php
    header('Content-Type: application/json');

    // Sample data
    $data = array("status" => "success", "message" => "API is working!");

    // Encode data as JSON and send response
    echo json_encode($data);
  ?>
  
{"status":"success","message":"API is working!"}

Chapter 22: File Uploads

HTML File Upload Form

This is the form used to upload files. It uses the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute to specify that the form can send files.

  <!-- HTML Form to upload a file -->
  <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <label for="file">Choose file to upload:

  

Handling $_FILES

The $_FILES array is used to access the uploaded files in PHP. Each element of the array holds information about the uploaded file, such as its name, type, temporary location, and size.

  <!-- PHP script to handle file upload -->
  <?php
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
        if (isset($_FILES["file"])) {
            $fileName = $_FILES["file"]["name"]; // Get file name
            $fileTmpName = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"]; // Get temp name
            echo "File Name: " . $fileName . "<br>"; // Display file name
        }
    }
  ?>
  
File Name: example.jpg

Moving Uploaded Files

Once a file is uploaded, it is stored in a temporary location. You can move it to a permanent location using move_uploaded_file().

  <!-- PHP script to move uploaded file -->
  <?php
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
        if (isset($_FILES["file"])) {
            $fileTmpName = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
            $fileName = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
            $uploadDirectory = "uploads/"; // Directory to move file
            if (move_uploaded_file($fileTmpName, $uploadDirectory . $fileName)) {
                echo "File has been uploaded successfully!<br>";
            } else {
                echo "Error uploading file.<br>";
            }
        }
    }
  ?>
  
File has been uploaded successfully!

File Size Validation

File size can be validated using the $_FILES array's size property. It's a good idea to limit the maximum allowed file size to avoid uploading very large files.

  <!-- PHP script to validate file size -->
  <?php
    $maxSize = 2000000; // Maximum file size (2MB)
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
        if (isset($_FILES["file"])) {
            $fileSize = $_FILES["file"]["size"];
            if ($fileSize > $maxSize) {
                echo "File is too large. Maximum allowed size is 2MB.<br>";
            } else {
                echo "File size is acceptable.<br>";
            }
        }
    }
  ?>
  
File size is acceptable.

Allowed File Types

You can restrict the types of files that can be uploaded by checking the $_FILES array's type property. For example, you may only allow image files.

  <!-- PHP script to check allowed file types -->
  <?php
    $allowedTypes = ["image/jpeg", "image/png", "image/gif"];
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
        if (isset($_FILES["file"])) {
            $fileType = $_FILES["file"]["type"];
            if (in_array($fileType, $allowedTypes)) {
                echo "File type is allowed.<br>";
            } else {
                echo "Invalid file type. Only JPG, PNG, and GIF are allowed.<br>";
            }
        }
    }
  ?>
  
File type is allowed.

Display Uploaded Files

Once files are uploaded, you can display them on the page using HTML and PHP.

  <!-- PHP script to display uploaded image -->
  <?php
    $uploadDirectory = "uploads/";
    $fileName = "example.jpg"; // Assume file was uploaded
    if (file_exists($uploadDirectory . $fileName)) {
        echo "<img src='" . $uploadDirectory . $fileName . "' alt='Uploaded File' /><br>";
    }
  ?>
  
<img src="uploads/example.jpg" alt="Uploaded File" />

Securing File Uploads

It's important to secure file uploads to avoid security risks. Always validate the file type, size, and use proper file names to prevent overwriting files or executing malicious code.

  <!-- PHP script to secure file upload -->
  <?php
    $allowedTypes = ["image/jpeg", "image/png", "image/gif"];
    $maxSize = 2000000; // Max size 2MB
    $uploadDirectory = "uploads/";
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
        if (isset($_FILES["file"])) {
            $fileTmpName = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
            $fileName = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
            $fileType = $_FILES["file"]["type"];
            $fileSize = $_FILES["file"]["size"];

            // Check if the file type is allowed
            if (!in_array($fileType, $allowedTypes)) {
                echo "Invalid file type.<br>";
            } 
            // Check file size
            elseif ($fileSize > $maxSize) {
                echo "File is too large.<br>";
            } 
            // Generate a safe unique file name
            else {
                $safeFileName = uniqid("upload_", true) . "." . pathinfo($fileName, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
                if (move_uploaded_file($fileTmpName, $uploadDirectory . $safeFileName)) {
                    echo "File uploaded successfully!<br>";
                } else {
                    echo "Error uploading file.<br>";
                }
            }
        }
    }
  ?>
  
File uploaded successfully!

Chapter 23: Sending Emails

Using the mail() Function

The mail() function in PHP is used to send simple emails.

Example of Sending an Email using mail()

  <?php
    // Define recipient, subject, and message
    $to = "recipient@example.com";
    $subject = "Test Email";
    $message = "Hello, this is a test email!";
    
    // Send email
    if(mail($to, $subject, $message)) {
      echo "Email sent successfully!";
    } else {
      echo "Email sending failed!";
    }
  ?>
  
Email sent successfully!

Email Headers

Headers are used to specify the sender, content type, and other details for an email.

Example of Sending Email with Headers

  <?php
    // Define recipient, subject, and message
    $to = "recipient@example.com";
    $subject = "Test Email with Headers";
    $message = "This is a test email with headers!";
    
    // Define headers
    $headers = "From: sender@example.com" . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: sender@example.com" . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
    
    // Send email with headers
    if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
      echo "Email with headers sent successfully!";
    } else {
      echo "Email with headers sending failed!";
    }
  ?>
  
Email with headers sent successfully!

Sending HTML Emails

To send an HTML email, you need to set the content type to text/html in the headers.

Example of Sending HTML Email

  <?php
    // Define recipient, subject, and HTML message
    $to = "recipient@example.com";
    $subject = "Test HTML Email";
    $message = "

Hello!

This is a test HTML email.

"; // Define headers for HTML email $headers = "From: sender@example.com" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: sender@example.com" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n"; // Send HTML email if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) { echo "HTML Email sent successfully!"; } else { echo "HTML Email sending failed!"; } ?>
HTML Email sent successfully!

Sending Attachments

Sending attachments requires encoding the file content and including it in the email body with the appropriate headers.

Example of Sending Email with Attachment

  <?php
    // Define recipient, subject, and message
    $to = "recipient@example.com";
    $subject = "Test Email with Attachment";
    $message = "This email contains an attachment.";
    
    // Define attachment
    $file = "path/to/file.txt";
    $file_content = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($file)));
    $file_name = basename($file);
    
    // Define boundary
    $boundary = md5(time());
    
    // Define headers for attachment
    $headers = "From: sender@example.com" . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: sender@example.com" . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\"" . "\r\n";
    
    // Define email body with attachment
    $body = "--$boundary\r\n";
    $body .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
    $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
    $body .= $message . "\r\n\r\n";
    $body .= "--$boundary\r\n";
    $body .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"$file_name\"\r\n";
    $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
    $body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file_name\"\r\n\r\n";
    $body .= $file_content . "\r\n";
    $body .= "--$boundary--";
    
    // Send email with attachment
    if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
      echo "Email with attachment sent successfully!";
    } else {
      echo "Email with attachment sending failed!";
    }
  ?>
  
Email with attachment sent successfully!

Common Issues

Some common issues when sending emails include incorrect SMTP configuration, email being marked as spam, or missing headers.

Common Solution for SMTP Issues:

  <?php
    // Ensure SMTP configuration is correct in php.ini
    // Uncomment and configure the following lines in php.ini
    // SMTP = smtp.example.com
    // smtp_port = 25
  ?>
  
(Make sure your SMTP settings are correct in php.ini)

Using External Libraries (PHPMailer)

PHPMailer is a popular library for sending emails using SMTP and supports many features such as attachments, HTML emails, and more.

Example of Sending Email with PHPMailer

  <?php
    // Include PHPMailer files
    require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
    
    // Create instance of PHPMailer
    $mail = new PHPMailer;
    
    // Set mail parameters
    $mail->isSMTP();
    $mail->Host = 'smtp.example.com';
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
    $mail->Username = 'user@example.com';
    $mail->Password = 'password';
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
    $mail->Port = 587;
    
    // Set sender and recipient
    $mail->setFrom('sender@example.com', 'Sender Name');
    $mail->addAddress('recipient@example.com');
    
    // Set subject and body
    $mail->Subject = 'Test PHPMailer Email';
    $mail->Body    = 'This is a test email using PHPMailer!';
    
    // Send email
    if($mail->send()) {
      echo 'Email sent successfully!';
    } else {
      echo 'Email sending failed: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    }
  ?>
  
Email sent successfully!

SMTP Setup

When using SMTP for sending emails, make sure to configure the SMTP server correctly and authenticate using proper credentials.

Example of SMTP Setup in PHP

  <?php
    // Configure SMTP in PHP settings or use PHPMailer for better flexibility.
    // Ensure correct SMTP server and authentication details are set.
  ?>
  
(Ensure correct SMTP settings are configured in your mail server)

Chapter 24: Modern PHP Features (PHP 7/8/8.1/8.2)

Scalar Type Declarations

Scalar type declarations allow you to define the types of function arguments and return values for scalar types like int, float, string, and bool.

  <?php
    // Scalar type declarations in PHP 7 and above
    function add(int $a, int $b): int {
      return $a + $b; // Function expects two integers and returns an integer
    }
    
    echo add(2, 3); // Outputs: 5
  ?>
  
5

Return Type Declarations

Return type declarations specify the type of the value that a function will return. This helps ensure that the return value matches the expected type.

  <?php
    // Return type declarations in PHP 7 and above
    function multiply(float $a, float $b): float {
      return $a * $b; // Function expects two floats and returns a float
    }
    
    echo multiply(2.5, 4); // Outputs: 10
  ?>
  
10

Null Coalescing Operator

The null coalescing operator (??) is used to check if a value is null, and if it is, it returns a default value instead.

  <?php
    // Null Coalescing Operator (PHP 7 and above)
    $username = $_GET['username'] ?? 'guest'; // If 'username' is not set or null, use 'guest'
    
    echo $username; // Outputs: guest if 'username' is not set
  ?>
  
guest

Match Expression

The match expression (match) is a more flexible and safer version of the switch statement, introduced in PHP 8. It supports strict comparison and does not require a break statement.

  <?php
    // Match Expression (PHP 8 and above)
    $status = 200;

    $message = match ($status) {
      200 => 'OK',
      404 => 'Not Found',
      500 => 'Server Error',
      default => 'Unknown Status',
    };

    echo $message; // Outputs: OK
  ?>
  
OK

Constructor Property Promotion

Constructor property promotion simplifies the syntax for declaring and initializing properties directly in the constructor, introduced in PHP 8.

  <?php
    // Constructor Property Promotion (PHP 8 and above)
    class User {
      public function __construct(
        public string $name,
        public int $age
      ) {}
    }

    $user = new User('John', 30);
    echo $user->name . ' is ' . $user->age . ' years old.'; // Outputs: John is 30 years old.
  ?>
  
John is 30 years old.

Named Arguments

Named arguments allow you to pass arguments to a function based on the parameter name, rather than their position. This was introduced in PHP 8.

  <?php
    // Named Arguments (PHP 8 and above)
    function createUser(string $name, int $age, string $role = 'guest') {
      return "$name, $age years old, role: $role";
    }

    echo createUser(age: 25, name: 'Alice'); // Outputs: Alice, 25 years old, role: guest
  ?>
  
Alice, 25 years old, role: guest

Fibers and Enumerations (PHP 8.1+)

Fibers and enumerations were introduced in PHP 8.1. Fibers allow you to suspend and resume functions, while enumerations provide a way to define a set of named constants in a more robust way than simple class constants.

  <?php
    // Fibers (PHP 8.1 and above)
    $fiber = new Fiber(function (): void {
      echo "Fiber started\n";
      Fiber::suspend();
      echo "Fiber resumed\n";
    });

    $fiber->start(); // Outputs: Fiber started
    $fiber->resume(); // Outputs: Fiber resumed

    // Enumerations (PHP 8.1 and above)
    enum Status {
      case Pending;
      case Completed;
      case Failed;
    }

    $status = Status::Pending;
    echo $status->name; // Outputs: Pending
  ?>
  
Fiber started
Fiber resumed
Pending

Chapter 25: Best Practices & Security

SQL Injection Prevention

SQL Injection is a security vulnerability that allows an attacker to interfere with the queries your application makes to its database. The best way to prevent SQL injection is by using prepared statements with bound parameters.

  <!-- Example of SQL Injection Prevention -->
  <?php
    $pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydatabase", "username", "password");
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = :username");
    $stmt->bindParam(':username', $_POST['username']);
    $stmt->execute();
    $user = $stmt->fetch();
    echo "User: " . $user['username'];
  ?>
  
User: john_doe

Cross-site Scripting (XSS)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks occur when an attacker injects malicious scripts into content that other users view. To prevent XSS, always sanitize and escape user input before displaying it on the page.

  <!-- Example of XSS Prevention -->
  <?php
    // Sanitizing user input
    $user_input = htmlspecialchars($_POST['user_input'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
    echo "User input: " . $user_input;
  ?>
  
User input: <script>alert('XSS')</script>

CSRF Protection Basics

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks trick the user into executing unwanted actions on a web application where they are authenticated. To prevent CSRF, include a token in every form, and validate the token server-side.

  <!-- Example of CSRF Protection -->
  <?php
    session_start();
    // Generate CSRF token
    if (empty($_SESSION['csrf_token'])) {
      $_SESSION['csrf_token'] = bin2hex(random_bytes(32));
    }
  ?>

  <!-- HTML Form with CSRF Token -->
  <form method="POST" action="submit.php">
    
    <!-- Other form fields here -->
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>
  
CSRF token embedded in the form.

Input Sanitization

Input sanitization ensures that user input is safe to use in your application, preventing attacks such as SQL injection or XSS. Functions like filter_var() and htmlspecialchars() are used to sanitize input.

  <!-- Example of Input Sanitization -->
  <?php
    $email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
    $url = filter_var($_POST['url'], FILTER_SANITIZE_URL);
    echo "Sanitized Email: " . $email;
  ?>
  
Sanitized Email: user@example.com

Folder Structure & MVC Concept

The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is a design pattern that separates an application into three interconnected components:

  • Model: Handles the data and business logic.
  • View: Handles the user interface.
  • Controller: Handles input and updates the view based on the model.
A clean folder structure can enhance the maintainability of the codebase, such as:
    /app
      /controllers
      /models
      /views
    /public
      /index.php
    

Composer & Autoloading

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP, and autoloading allows classes to be automatically loaded when needed. To enable autoloading in Composer, define an autoload section in your composer.json file.

  <!-- Example of Composer Autoloading -->
  <?php
    // Run composer dump-autoload to generate the autoloader
    require 'vendor/autoload.php';

    use App\Models\User;
    $user = new User();
  ?>
  
Autoloading works, and the User class is loaded automatically.

Unit Testing with PHPUnit

Unit testing is a critical part of the development process. PHPUnit is a framework for writing unit tests in PHP. Here's how you can write a simple test case:

  <!-- Example of PHPUnit Test -->
  <?php
    use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

    class MathTest extends TestCase {
      public function testAdd() {
        $this->assertEquals(4, 2 + 2);
      }
    }
  ?>
  
PHPUnit test passed successfully.

Chapter 26: Dependency Injection & Service Containers

What is Dependency Injection?

Dependency Injection (DI) is a design pattern where an object receives other objects it depends on (its dependencies) from an external source rather than creating them internally.

<?php
// Example class with dependency injection
class Logger {
    public function log($message) {
        echo "Log: $message";
    }
}

class UserService {
    private $logger;

    // Inject Logger dependency via constructor
    public function __construct(Logger $logger) {
        $this->logger = $logger;
    }

    public function register($user) {
        $this->logger->log("User $user registered");
    }
}

$logger = new Logger();                // Create Logger instance
$service = new UserService($logger);   // Inject logger into UserService
$service->register('Alice');          // Use service
?>
Log: User Alice registered

Manual Dependency Injection vs. Containers

Manual DI means creating and injecting dependencies manually, while containers automate this process using mappings and bindings.

<?php
// Manual DI example (shown above)
// Containers automatically resolve dependencies based on configuration
?>

Creating a Simple Service Container

A service container manages object creation and dependency resolution.

<?php
class Container {
    protected $bindings = [];

    // Bind a service to a resolver (closure)
    public function bind($name, $resolver) {
        $this->bindings[$name] = $resolver;
    }

    // Resolve a service
    public function make($name) {
        if (isset($this->bindings[$name])) {
            return $this->bindings[$name]($this);  // Call resolver
        }
        throw new Exception("Service not found");
    }
}

// Bind services
$container = new Container();

$container->bind('logger', function () {
    return new Logger();
});

$container->bind('userService', function ($c) {
    return new UserService($c->make('logger'));  // Inject logger
});

$service = $container->make('userService');       // Resolve UserService
$service->register('Bob');                        // Use service
?>
Log: User Bob registered

Binding and Resolving Services

Services are bound to the container and later resolved when needed. This supports loose coupling and better testability.

<?php
// See binding above with bind() and make()
?>

Singleton vs. Factory Bindings

- **Factory**: Each call to `make()` creates a new instance.
- **Singleton**: Same instance is reused for every call.

<?php
class SingletonContainer {
    protected $bindings = [];
    protected $instances = [];

    public function singleton($name, $resolver) {
        $this->bindings[$name] = $resolver;
    }

    public function make($name) {
        if (!isset($this->instances[$name])) {
            $this->instances[$name] = $this->bindings[$name]($this);
        }
        return $this->instances[$name];
    }
}

// Singleton usage
$container = new SingletonContainer();

$container->singleton('logger', function () {
    return new Logger();
});

$logger1 = $container->make('logger');
$logger2 = $container->make('logger');

echo ($logger1 === $logger2) ? "Same instance" : "Different instances";
?>
Same instance

Real-world DI in Frameworks (Laravel example)

Laravel's service container automatically resolves dependencies via type hinting.

// Laravel Controller Example
class UserController extends Controller {
    protected $service;

    // Laravel injects UserService automatically
    public function __construct(UserService $service) {
        $this->service = $service;
    }

    public function register(Request $request) {
        $this->service->register($request->name);
    }
}

// Laravel handles container binding automatically
app()->make(UserController::class);
Laravel resolves UserService and injects it into UserController automatically.

Chapter 27: PHP and Asynchronous Processing

Understanding Sync vs Async in PHP

In traditional synchronous (sync) PHP, tasks are executed one after the other. In asynchronous (async) PHP, tasks can be initiated and allowed to complete while continuing with other logic.

<?php
// Simulating synchronous behavior
echo "Start processing\n";                // Output start
sleep(3);                                 // Wait for 3 seconds
echo "Finished processing\n";             // Output end
?>
Start processing
(wait 3 seconds)
Finished processing

Using pcntl_fork() and exec()

pcntl_fork() allows you to fork processes (Linux only). exec() can run shell commands asynchronously.

<?php
// Check if pcntl is available
if (function_exists('pcntl_fork')) {
    $pid = pcntl_fork();                    // Fork the current process

    if ($pid == -1) {
        die("Could not fork process");      // Handle failure
    } elseif ($pid) {
        echo "Parent process continues\n";  // Parent continues
    } else {
        sleep(2);                           // Simulate child doing something
        echo "Child process done\n";        // Output from child
        exit();                             // End child
    }
} else {
    echo "pcntl is not available on this system.\n";
}
?>
Parent process continues
(wait 2 seconds)
Child process done

Introduction to ReactPHP

ReactPHP is an event-driven, non-blocking I/O library for PHP. It allows building async applications like Node.js.

// Example: Basic ReactPHP HTTP server
// Run with: php server.php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';                       // Load Composer packages

$loop = React\EventLoop\Factory::create();           // Create an event loop
$server = new React\Http\Server(function ($request) {
    return React\Http\Message\Response::plaintext(200, [], "Hello from ReactPHP!");
});

$socket = new React\Socket\SocketServer('127.0.0.1:8080', [], $loop);  // Bind to port
$server->listen($socket);                                              // Start listening

echo "Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8080\n";
$loop->run();                                                          // Run the loop
Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 to see "Hello from ReactPHP!"

Promises and Event Loops

ReactPHP uses Promises (like JavaScript) to handle future results. This enables you to run tasks asynchronously without blocking the script.

use React\Promise\Promise;

function asyncOperation() {
    return new Promise(function ($resolve) {
        // Simulate async delay
        echo "Working...\n";
        sleep(1);
        $resolve("Done!");
    });
}

asyncOperation()->then(function ($value) {
    echo $value . "\n";
});
Working...
(wait 1 second)
Done!

Async HTTP Calls with Guzzle

Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that supports async requests using Promises. You must install it via Composer.

// Run: composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$client = new Client();

$promise = $client->getAsync('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1');

$promise->then(
    function ($response) {
        echo $response->getBody();
    },
    function ($error) {
        echo "Error: " . $error->getMessage();
    }
);

// Prevent script from exiting before the response
$promise->wait();
{"userId":1,"id":1,"title":"delectus aut autem","completed":false}

Asynchronous Queues and Jobs

You can handle background tasks in PHP using queues such as RabbitMQ, Beanstalkd, or Redis queues. Laravel uses queues to process jobs asynchronously.

// Laravel Example: Dispatching a job
MyJob::dispatch($data);        // Will be handled by a queue worker in background

// Worker command:
php artisan queue:work
Job dispatched.
Processing in background...

Chapter 28: Working with APIs

Creating RESTful APIs in PHP

<?php
// This simple RESTful API returns a JSON response based on a query string.

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'GET') {
    $data = ["message" => "Hello API"];
    header('Content-Type: application/json');
    echo json_encode($data);
}
?>
  
{"message":"Hello API"}

Routing and Request Handling

<?php
// Basic routing simulation using query string (?route=about)
$route = $_GET['route'] ?? 'home';

switch ($route) {
    case 'about':
        echo "About Page";
        break;
    case 'contact':
        echo "Contact Page";
        break;
    default:
        echo "Home Page";
}
?>
  
Home Page (or depends on ?route=...)

JSON Encoding/Decoding

<?php
// Encoding PHP array to JSON
$array = ["name" => "Alice", "age" => 30];
echo json_encode($array);

// Decoding JSON string to PHP array
$json = '{"name":"Bob","age":25}';
$phpArray = json_decode($json, true);
print_r($phpArray);
?>
  
{"name":"Alice","age":30} Array ( [name] => Bob [age] => 25 )

Using cURL and Guzzle for API Consumption

cURL

<?php
$ch = curl_init("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $response;
?>
  
{...JSON from API...}

Guzzle (via Composer)

// composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$client = new Client();
$response = $client->get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1');
echo $response->getBody();
?>
  
{...JSON from API...}

OAuth2 Integration (e.g., Google, GitHub)

// Outline using Google OAuth2
// Steps: 1. Redirect to Google, 2. Receive code, 3. Exchange for token

// Redirect user
header('Location: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=YOUR_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URI&response_type=code&scope=email');
exit();

// Exchange code for token with POST request
// Use Guzzle or cURL to send to https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
  

Securing APIs with Tokens (JWT)

// Use firebase/php-jwt
// composer require firebase/php-jwt

<?php
use Firebase\JWT\JWT;
use Firebase\JWT\Key;

$key = 'secretkey';
$payload = ["user" => "admin"];
$jwt = JWT::encode($payload, $key, 'HS256');
echo $jwt;

// Decode example:
$decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, new Key($key, 'HS256'));
print_r($decoded);
?>
  
JWT Token and Decoded Payload

Chapter 29: Advanced OOP and Design Patterns

SOLID Principles in PHP

SOLID stands for five key design principles:

  • S: Single Responsibility Principle
  • O: Open/Closed Principle
  • L: Liskov Substitution Principle
  • I: Interface Segregation Principle
  • D: Dependency Inversion Principle

Example: Single Responsibility Principle

<?php
class Invoice {
    public function calculateTotal() {
        return 100;
    }
}

class InvoicePrinter {
    public function print(Invoice $invoice) {
        echo "Total: " . $invoice->calculateTotal();
    }
}

$invoice = new Invoice();
$printer = new InvoicePrinter();
$printer->print($invoice);
?>
  
Total: 100

Strategy, Factory, and Observer Patterns

Strategy Pattern

<?php
interface PaymentStrategy {
    public function pay($amount);
}

class Paypal implements PaymentStrategy {
    public function pay($amount) {
        echo "Paying $amount using PayPal.";
    }
}

class CreditCard implements PaymentStrategy {
    public function pay($amount) {
        echo "Paying $amount using Credit Card.";
    }
}

class PaymentProcessor {
    private $method;

    public function __construct(PaymentStrategy $method) {
        $this->method = $method;
    }

    public function process($amount) {
        $this->method->pay($amount);
    }
}

$processor = new PaymentProcessor(new Paypal());
$processor->process(50);
?>
  
Paying 50 using PayPal.

Factory Pattern

<?php
interface Animal {
    public function speak();
}

class Dog implements Animal {
    public function speak() {
        return "Woof!";
    }
}

class Cat implements Animal {
    public function speak() {
        return "Meow!";
    }
}

class AnimalFactory {
    public static function create($type) {
        if ($type == 'dog') return new Dog();
        if ($type == 'cat') return new Cat();
        throw new Exception("Animal not found.");
    }
}

$animal = AnimalFactory::create('dog');
echo $animal->speak();
?>
  
Woof!

Observer Pattern

<?php
interface Observer {
    public function update($message);
}

class EmailNotifier implements Observer {
    public function update($message) {
        echo "Email: $message";
    }
}

class Logger implements Observer {
    public function update($message) {
        echo "Log: $message";
    }
}

class Subject {
    private $observers = [];

    public function attach(Observer $observer) {
        $this->observers[] = $observer;
    }

    public function notify($message) {
        foreach ($this->observers as $observer) {
            $observer->update($message);
        }
    }
}

$subject = new Subject();
$subject->attach(new EmailNotifier());
$subject->attach(new Logger());
$subject->notify("Order placed!");
?>
  
Email: Order placed!Log: Order placed!

Traits vs Inheritance

<?php
trait LoggerTrait {
    public function log($msg) {
        echo "Logging: $msg";
    }
}

class Product {
    use LoggerTrait;

    public function create() {
        $this->log("Product created");
    }
}

$product = new Product();
$product->create();
?>
  
Logging: Product created

Static Classes vs Dependency Injection

Static

<?php
class StaticLogger {
    public static function log($msg) {
        echo "Static log: $msg";
    }
}

StaticLogger::log("Hello");
?>
  
Static log: Hello

Dependency Injection

<?php
class ServiceLogger {
    public function log($msg) {
        echo "Injected log: $msg";
    }
}

class Service {
    private $logger;

    public function __construct(ServiceLogger $logger) {
        $this->logger = $logger;
    }

    public function run() {
        $this->logger->log("Running service");
    }
}

$service = new Service(new ServiceLogger());
$service->run();
?>
  
Injected log: Running service

Using Interfaces and Abstract Classes Effectively

Interface

<?php
interface Shape {
    public function area();
}

class Square implements Shape {
    private $side = 5;

    public function area() {
        return $this->side * $this->side;
    }
}

$square = new Square();
echo $square->area();
?>
  
25

Abstract Class

<?php
abstract class Vehicle {
    abstract public function move();
}

class Car extends Vehicle {
    public function move() {
        return "Car moves";
    }
}

$car = new Car();
echo $car->move();
?>
  
Car moves

PSR Standards and Best Practices

  • PSR-1: Basic Coding Standard
  • PSR-2: Coding Style Guide (replaced by PSR-12)
  • PSR-4: Autoloading Standard
  • PSR-12: Extended Coding Style Guide
  • Use Composer for autoloading and package management
  • Use namespaces to avoid class name collisions
  • Follow separation of concerns: each class has one purpose

Chapter 30: Real-time Features & WebSockets

Introduction to WebSockets

WebSockets provide a persistent, full-duplex communication channel between the client and server, enabling real-time data exchange without the overhead of traditional HTTP requests.

:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Using Ratchet for WebSocket Servers

Ratchet is a PHP library for implementing WebSocket servers. Below is an example of setting up a basic WebSocket server using Ratchet.

:contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Server-side: Ratchet WebSocket Server

  <?php
  // Include Ratchet library classes
  use Ratchet\MessageComponentInterface;
  use Ratchet\ConnectionInterface;

  // Define Chat class implementing MessageComponentInterface
  class Chat implements MessageComponentInterface {
      protected $clients;

      public function __construct() {
          // Create a storage for connected clients
          $this->clients = new \SplObjectStorage;
      }

      public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
          // Store the new connection
          $this->clients->attach($conn);
          echo "New connection! ({$conn->resourceId})\n";
      }

      public function onMessage(ConnectionInterface $from, $msg) {
          // Broadcast the received message to all connected clients
          foreach ($this->clients as $client) {
              if ($from !== $client) {
                  $client->send($msg);
              }
          }
      }

      public function onClose(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
          // Remove the connection from the storage
          $this->clients->detach($conn);
          echo "Connection {$conn->resourceId} has disconnected\n";
      }

      public function onError(ConnectionInterface $conn, \Exception $e) {
          echo "An error has occurred: {$e->getMessage()}\n";
          $conn->close();
      }
  }

  // Run the server
  use Ratchet\Server\IoServer;
  use Ratchet\Http\HttpServer;
  use Ratchet\WebSocket\WsServer;

  require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

  $server = IoServer::factory(
      new HttpServer(
          new WsServer(
              new Chat()
          )
      ),
      8080
  );

  $server->run();
  ?>
  
WebSocket server running on port 8080

Broadcasting Real-Time Data (Chat, Notifications)

With the WebSocket server running, clients can connect and exchange messages in real-time. Below is an example of a simple HTML client that connects to the server and sends messages.

:contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

Client-side: HTML and JavaScript

  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head>
      <title>WebSocket Chat Client</title>
  </head>
  <body>
      <h2>WebSocket Chat</h2>
      <input type="text" id="message" placeholder="Enter message" />
      <button onclick="sendMessage()">Send</button>
      <ul id="chat"></ul>

      <script>
          // Create a new WebSocket connection
          const socket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080');

          // Event handler for receiving messages
          socket.onmessage = function(event) {
              const chat = document.getElementById('chat');
              const message = document.createElement('li');
              message.textContent = event.data;
              chat.appendChild(message);
          };

          // Function to send messages
          function sendMessage() {
              const input = document.getElementById('message');
              const message = input.value;
              socket.send(message);
              input.value = '';
          }
      </script>
  </body>
  </html>
  
Chat client connected to WebSocket server

Integrating PHP WebSockets with JavaScript Frontend

The above example demonstrates how to integrate a PHP WebSocket server with a JavaScript frontend, enabling real-time communication between clients.

:contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

Real-time Laravel Events (Broadcasting with Pusher)

Laravel provides built-in support for broadcasting events using drivers like Pusher. Below is an example of setting up broadcasting in Laravel.

:contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}

Server-side: Laravel Event Broadcasting

  // .env configuration
  BROADCAST_DRIVER=pusher
  PUSHER_APP_ID=your-app-id
  PUSHER_APP_KEY=your-app-key
  PUSHER_APP_SECRET=your-app-secret
  PUSHER_HOST=
  PUSHER_PORT=443
  PUSHER_SCHEME=https

  // Event class
  namespace App\Events;

  use Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel;
  use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
  use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PrivateChannel;
  use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PresenceChannel;
  use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
  use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
  use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;

  class MessageSent implements ShouldBroadcast
  {
      use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;

      public $message;

      public function __construct($message)
      {
          $this->message = $message;
      }

      public function broadcastOn()
      {
          return new Channel('chat');
      }
  }
  
Laravel event broadcasting setup complete

Client-side: JavaScript with Laravel Echo and Pusher

  <script src="https://js.pusher.com/7.0/pusher.min.js"></script>
  <script src="/js/app.js"></script>
  <script>
      // Initialize Laravel Echo with Pusher
      import Echo from 'laravel-echo';

      window.Pusher = require('pusher-js');

      window.Echo = new Echo({
          broadcaster: 'pusher',
          key: 'your-app-key',
          cluster: 'mt1',
          encrypted: true
      });

      // Listen for the MessageSent event
      window.Echo.channel('chat')
          .listen('MessageSent', (e) => {
              console.log('Message received:', e.message);
          });
  </script>
  
Client listening for Laravel broadcasted events

Performance and Security Considerations

  • Use secure WebSocket connections (wss://) in production environments.
  • Implement authentication and authorization to restrict access to WebSocket channels.
  • Validate and sanitize all incoming messages to prevent injection attacks.
  • Monitor and limit the number of concurrent connections to prevent resource exhaustion.
  • Use SSL/TLS certificates to encrypt data transmitted over WebSocket connections.
