Comparison and Logical Operators

By
Comparison and Logical operators are used to test for true or false.

Comparison Operators

 Comparison operators are used in logical statements to determine equality or difference between variables or values. Given that x=5, the table below explains the comparison operators:

Operator		 Description Comparing Returns
== is equal to x==8 false
x==5 true
=== is exactly equal to (value and type) x==="5" false
x===5 true
!= is not equal x!=8 true
!== is not equal (neither value nor type) x!=="5" true
x!==5 false
> is greater than x>8 false
< is less than x<8 true
>= is greater than or equal to x>=8 false
<= is less than or equal to x<=8 true

Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to determine the logic between variables or values.
Given that x=6 and y=3, the table below explains the logical operators:
Operator Description Example
&& and (x < 10 && y > 1) is true
|| or (x==5 || y==5) is false
! not !(x==y) is true

To connect offline we use username “root”. password specifies the password to log in with. Default is “” Code : Creating connection to the database and selecting the required database <?php $con = mysql_connect(“localhost”,”root”,”"); if (!$con) { die(‘Could not connect: ‘ . mysql_error()); } else{ mysql_select_db(“test”, $con) }; ?> Here, we have store connection in a variable called $con and trap error using die function. Closing connection The connection will be closed automatically when the script ends. To close the connection before, use the mysql_close() function: <?php $con = mysql_conne...

Type Juggling and Type Casting

By
Type Juggling: PHP does not require (or support) explicit type definition in variable declaration; a variable's type is determined by the context in which the variable is used. That is to say, if a string value is assigned to variable $var, $var becomes a string. If an integer value is then assigned to $var, it becomes an integer.
