Q1.

Explain PHP data types, variables, constants, comments, and super global variables with suitable
examples.

1. Data Types: PHP is a loosely typed language. It supports:

 String: "Hello World"

 Integer: 100

 Float: 10.5

 Boolean: true or false

 Array: array("A", "B")

2. Variables & Constants:

 Variables: Declared with a $ sign. (e.g., $name = "Ashmit";)

 Constants: Defined using define() or const. They cannot be changed once defined. (e.g.,
define("COLLEGE", "Tecnia");)

3. Comments:

 Single-line: // or #

 Multi-line: /* ... */

4. Super Global Variables: These are built-in variables available in all scopes:

 $_GET / $_POST: Collects form data.

 $_SESSION: Stores user information across pages.

 $_SERVER: Contains server and execution environment info.

Q2.

Write a PHP program demonstrating operators and expressions.

PHP

<?php

$a = 20; $b = 10;

// Arithmetic Operators

echo "Addition: " . ($a + $b);

// Relational Operators

if ($a > $b) { echo "A is greater than B"; }


// Logical Operators

if ($a == 20 && $b == 10) { echo "Both conditions are True"; }

?>

Q3.

Develop a PHP program using decision making statements.

PHP

<?php

$time = 10;

// If-Elseif-Else

if ($time < 12) { echo "Good Morning"; }

elseif ($time < 17) { echo "Good Afternoon"; }

else { echo "Good Evening"; }

// Switch Case

$color = "blue";

switch ($color) {

case "red": echo "Color is Red"; break;

case "blue": echo "Color is Blue"; break;

default: echo "Color not found";

?>

Q4.

Write PHP programs using loops (for, while, do-while, foreach).

PHP

<?php

// For Loop - Displaying numbers 1 to 5

for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) { echo $i . " "; }


// Foreach Loop - Iterating an array

$apps = array("VS Code", "XAMPP", "Browser");

foreach ($apps as $val) { echo $val . " "; }

?>

Q5.

Create and explain Indexed Arrays and Associative Arrays.

 Indexed Array: Uses a numeric index.

o Example: $subjects = array("C", "Java", "PHP");

 Associative Array: Uses named keys.

o Example: $student = array("Name"=>"Ashmit", "Age"=>19);

Q6.

Multi-dimensional Array and five predefined array functions.

PHP

<?php

$matrix = array(

array(1, 2),

array(3, 4)

);

// Predefined Functions:

// 1. count($matrix) - Returns length

// 2. array_push($arr, $val) - Adds to end

// 3. array_pop($arr) - Removes last element

// 4. sort($arr) - Sorts array

// 5. in_array("val", $arr) - Checks if value exists

?>

Q7.
Explain Regular Expressions in PHP and advantages of PHP.

Regular Expressions (RegEx): Patterns used for pattern-matching and string manipulation. Common
functions include preg_match() and preg_replace().

Advantages of PHP:

1. Open Source: Free to use and distribute.

2. Platform Independent: Runs on Windows, Linux, and Unix.

3. Easy Integration: Works seamlessly with MySQL and Apache.

4. Large Community: Extensive documentation and support for BCA students.
