A brief description of PHP variables and definitions of constants, define, ordinary variables, static variables, assignment by address (simple reference), PHP super global variable $GLOBALS and other usages.

Variables are used to store values, such as numbers, text strings, or arrays.

Once a variable is set, we can use it repeatedly in the script.

All variables in PHP start with the $ symbol.

The correct way to set variables in PHP is:

$var_name = value; Beginners to PHP often forget the $ sign in front of the variable. If you do that, the variable will be invalid.

Let’s try to create a variable that holds a string, and a variable that holds a numeric value:

Example 1

The code is as follows Copy code
 代码如下 复制代码

$txt = "Hello World!";
$number = 16;
?>

$txt = "Hello World!";
$number = 16;
?>

Example 2
 代码如下 复制代码

$foo = 25;
$bar = &$foo; // 合法的赋值
$bar = &(24 * 7); // 非法; 引用没有名字的表达式
function test()
{
return 25;
}

$bar = &test(); // 非法
?>

The code is as follows Copy code
$foo = 25;
$bar = &$foo; // Legal assignment
$bar = &(24 * 7); // Illegal; refers to an expression without a name
function test()
{
return 25;
} $bar = &test(); // Illegal
?>

Predefined variables
PHP provides a large number of predefined variables. Detailed documentation is not available as many variables depend on the version and settings of the running server, among other factors. Some predefined variables do not take effect when PHP is run from the command line.


Variable scope
The scope of a variable is the context scope in which it is defined (that is, its effective scope). Most PHP variables have only a single scope. This single scope span also includes files introduced by include and require.

PHP’s global variables are a little different from C language. In C language, global variables automatically take effect in functions unless overridden by local variables. Local variables in PHP will not be overwritten by global variables. If used, they will be the default initial values ​​of the variables. This may cause some problems, someone may accidentally change a global variable. Global variables in PHP must be declared global when used in functions.

Use static variables
Another important feature of variable scope is static variables. Static variables only exist in the local function scope, but their values ​​are not lost when program execution leaves this scope.


Note:
Naming rules for variables
Variable names must start with a letter or underscore "_".
Variable names can contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores.
Variable names cannot contain spaces. If the variable name consists of multiple words, they should be separated by underscores (such as $my_string) or start with a capital letter (such as $myString).


php variable definition

1. Define constantsdefine("CONSTANT", "Hello world.");
Constants can only contain scalar data (boolean, integer, float and string).
When calling a constant, you only need to simply use the name to get the value of the constant, without adding the "$" symbol, such as: echo CONSTANT;
Note: Constants and (global) variables are in different namespaces. This means for example TRUE and $TRUE are different.
2. Ordinary variables$a = "hello";
3. Variable variable (use two dollar signs ($))
$$a = "world";
Both variables are defined:
The content of $a is "hello" and the content of $hello is "world".
Therefore, it can be expressed as:
echo "$a ${$a}"; or echo "$a $hello"; they will both output: hello world
To use mutable variables with arrays, an ambiguity must be resolved. This is when writing $$a[1], the parser needs to know whether it wants $a[1] as a variable, or whether it wants $$a as a variable and extracts the variable with index [1] value. The syntax to solve this problem is to use ${$a[1]} for the first case and ${$a}[1] for the second case.
4. Static variables
Inside the function static $a = 0;
Note: Assigning the result of an expression in the declaration will cause parsing errors such as static $a =3+3; (error)
Static variables only exist in the local function domain (inside the function). After the function is executed, the variable value will not be lost and can be used for recursive calls
5. Global variables
Global variables defined within the function body can be used outside the function body. Global variables defined outside the function body cannot be used within the function body. To access variables in the global scope, you can use the special PHP custom $GLOBALS array:
For example: $GLOBALS["b"] = $GLOBALS["a"] + $GLOBALS["b"];
A real global variable imported with the global statement within a function scope actually establishes a reference to the global variable
global $obj;
Note: The static and global definitions of variables are implemented in the form of application
6. Assign a value to a variable : Pass address assignment (simple reference):
$bar = &$foo; //Add & symbol before the variable to be assigned
Changing the new variable will affect the original variable, and this assignment operation is faster
Note: Only named variables can be assigned by address
NOTE: If
$bar = &$a;
$bar = &$foo;
Changing the value of $bar can only change the value of variable foo, but not the value of a (the reference has changed)
7.PHP superglobal variable $GLOBALS: Contains a reference to variables that are valid in the global scope of each current script. The keys of this array are labeled with the names of global variables. The $GLOBALS array exists since PHP 3.
$_SERVER: Variables are set by the web server or are directly associated with the execution environment of the current script. Similar to the old $HTTP_SERVER_VARS array (still valid, but deprecated).
$_GET: Variables submitted to the script via the HTTP GET method.
$_POST: Variables submitted to the script via the HTTP POST method.
$_COOKIE: Variable submitted to the script via the HTTP Cookies method.
$_FILES: Variables submitted to the script via HTTP POST file upload.
The file upload form must have enctype="multipart/form-data"
$_ENV: Variables submitted to the script by the execution environment.
$_REQUEST: Variables submitted to scripts via GET, POST and COOKIE mechanisms, so this array is not trustworthy. The presence, absence, and order of all variables contained in this array are defined according to the variables_order configuration directive in php.ini. This array does not directly emulate earlier versions of PHP 4.1.0. See import_request_variables().
NOTE: As of PHP 4.3.0, file information in $_FILES is no longer present in $_REQUEST.
$_SESSION: The variable currently registered for the script session.

php怎么把负数转为正整数php怎么把负数转为正整数Apr 19, 2022 pm 08:59 PM

php把负数转为正整数的方法:1、使用abs()函数将负数转为正数,使用intval()函数对正数取整,转为正整数,语法“intval(abs($number))”;2、利用“~”位运算符将负数取反加一,语法“~$number + 1”。

php怎么实现几秒后执行一个函数php怎么实现几秒后执行一个函数Apr 24, 2022 pm 01:12 PM

实现方法:1、使用“sleep(延迟秒数)”语句,可延迟执行函数若干秒;2、使用“time_nanosleep(延迟秒数,延迟纳秒数)”语句,可延迟执行函数若干秒和纳秒;3、使用“time_sleep_until(time()+7)”语句。

php怎么除以100保留两位小数php怎么除以100保留两位小数Apr 22, 2022 pm 06:23 PM

php除以100保留两位小数的方法:1、利用“/”运算符进行除法运算,语法“数值 / 100”;2、使用“number_format(除法结果, 2)”或“sprintf("%.2f",除法结果)”语句进行四舍五入的处理值,并保留两位小数。

php怎么根据年月日判断是一年的第几天php怎么根据年月日判断是一年的第几天Apr 22, 2022 pm 05:02 PM

判断方法:1、使用“strtotime("年-月-日")”语句将给定的年月日转换为时间戳格式;2、用“date("z",时间戳)+1”语句计算指定时间戳是一年的第几天。date()返回的天数是从0开始计算的,因此真实天数需要在此基础上加1。

php怎么判断有没有小数点php怎么判断有没有小数点Apr 20, 2022 pm 08:12 PM

php判断有没有小数点的方法:1、使用“strpos(数字字符串,'.')”语法,如果返回小数点在字符串中第一次出现的位置,则有小数点;2、使用“strrpos(数字字符串,'.')”语句,如果返回小数点在字符串中最后一次出现的位置,则有。

php字符串有没有下标php字符串有没有下标Apr 24, 2022 am 11:49 AM

php字符串有下标。在PHP中,下标不仅可以应用于数组和对象,还可应用于字符串,利用字符串的下标和中括号“[]”可以访问指定索引位置的字符,并对该字符进行读写,语法“字符串名[下标值]”;字符串的下标值(索引值)只能是整数类型,起始值为0。

php怎么替换nbsp空格符php怎么替换nbsp空格符Apr 24, 2022 pm 02:55 PM

方法:1、用“str_replace(" ","其他字符",$str)”语句,可将nbsp符替换为其他字符;2、用“preg_replace("/(\s|\&nbsp\;||\xc2\xa0)/","其他字符",$str)”语句。

php怎么读取字符串后几个字符php怎么读取字符串后几个字符Apr 22, 2022 pm 08:31 PM

在php中,可以使用substr()函数来读取字符串后几个字符,只需要将该函数的第二个参数设置为负值,第三个参数省略即可;语法为“substr(字符串,-n)”,表示读取从字符串结尾处向前数第n个字符开始,直到字符串结尾的全部字符。
