What is Function?
In most of the programming language, a block of segment in a program that performs a specific operation tasks such as
Insert
Execute
Delete
Calculate etc.
This segment is also known as Function.

What is Function? (Cont…)
A Function is a type of sub routine or procedure in a program.
A Function will be executed by a call to the Function and the Function returns any data type values or NULL value to called Function in the part of respective program

6. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Types of functions
The Function can be divided in to three types as follows
User defined Function
Pre-defined or System or built-in Function
Parameterized Function.

User defined Function

8. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

User Defined Function
User Defined Function (UDF) in PHP gives a privilege to user to write own specific operation inside of existing program module.
Two important steps the Programmer has to create for users define Functions are:
Function Declaration
Function Calling

9. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Function Declaration
A user-defined Function declaration begins with the keyword “function”.
User can write any custom logic inside the function block.
Syntax:
function functionName() {
Custom Logic code to be executed; }

10. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Function Calling
A function declaration part will be executed by a call to the function.
Programmer has to create Function Calling part inside the respective program.
Syntax:
functionName();

11. Example - Program <?php function insertMsg() {

Example - Program
<?php
function insertMsg() {
echo “Student Details Inserted Successfully!”; }
insertMsg(); // call the function
?>

12. Parameterized Function

Parameterized Function

13. Parameterized Function
MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN
7/7/2019
Parameterized Function
Required information can be shared between function declaration and function calling part inside the program.
The parameter is also called as arguments, it is like variables.
The arguments are mentioned after the function name and inside of the parenthesis.
There is no limit for sending arguments, just separate them with a comma notation.

14. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Example – Program 1
The following example has a function with one Argument ($sfname):
<?php function School_Name($sname) { echo $sname.”in Tamilnadu.<br>”; } School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Madurai”); School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Trichy”); School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Chennai”); School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Kanchipuram”); School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Tirunelveli”); ?>

15. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Example – Program 2
The following example has a function with two arguments ($sname and $Strength):
<?php function School_Name($sname,$Strength) { echo $sname.”in Tamilnadu and Student Strength is”.$Strength; } School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Madurai”,200); School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Trichy”,300); School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Chennai”,250); School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Kanchipuram”,100); School_Name (“Government Higher Secondary School Tirunelveli”,200); ?>

16. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Example - Program3
For a function to return a value, use the return statement
<?php function sum($x, $y) { $z = $x + $y; return $z; } echo “ = “ . sum(5, 10) . “<br>”; echo “ = “ . sum(7, 13) . “<br>”; echo “2 + 4 = “ . sum(2, 4); ?>

ARRAYS IN PHP

18. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

What are arrays?
Array is a concept that stores more than one value of same data type (homogeneous) in single array variable.
They are 3 types of array concepts in PHP.
Indexed Arrays,
Associative Array and
Multi-Dimensional Array.

19. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Indexed Arrays
Arrays with numeric index for the available values in array variable which contains key
value pair as user / developer can take the values using keys.

20. Indexed Arrays Array Syntax: Array defines with the keyword array()
MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Indexed Arrays
Array Syntax:
Array defines with the keyword array()

21. Example: <?php $teacher_name=array(“Iniyan”, “Kavin”, “Nilani”);
MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Example:
<?php
$teacher_name=array(“Iniyan”, “Kavin”, “Nilani”);
echo “The students name are “ . $teacher_name[0] . “, “ . $$teacher_name[1] . “ and “ .
$teacher_name[2] . “.”;
?>

22. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Associative Arrays
Associative arrays are a key-value pair data structure. Instead of having storing data in a
linear array, with associative arrays you can store your data in a collection and assign it a
unique key which you may use for referencing your data.

23. Syntax array(key=>value,key=>value,key=>value,etc.);
MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN
7/7/2019
Syntax
array(key=>value,key=>value,key=>value,etc.);
key = Specifies the key (numeric or string)
value = Specifies the value

24. MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Example:
<?php
$Marks=array(“Student1”=>“35”,“Student2”=>“1 7”,“Student3”=>“43”);
echo “Student1 mark is” . $Marks[‘Student1’] . “ is eligible for qualification”;
echo “Student2 mark is” . $Marks[‘Student2’] . “ is not eligible for qualification”;
?>

25. Multidimensional Arrays
MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

Multidimensional Arrays
A multidimensional array is an array containing one or more arrays.
PHP understands multidimensional arrays that are two, three, four, five, or more levels deep.
However, arrays more than three levels deep are hard to manage for most people.

26. <?php// A two-dimensional array $student=array (
MOHAMED FAKRUDEEN

<?php// A two-dimensional array
$student=array (
array(“Iniyan”,100,96),
array(“Kavin”,60,59),
array(“Nilani”,1313,139) );
echo $$student[0][0].”: Tamil Mark: “.$student [0][1].”. English mark: “.$student [0]
[2].”<br>”;
echo $$student[1][0].”: Tamil Mark: “.$student [1][1].”. English mark: “.$student [1]
echo $$student[2][0].”: Tamil Mark: “.$student [2][1].”. English mark: “.$student [2]
?>
