title: PHP Variables
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### PHP - Vaiables Types
|
||||
|
||||
Varibles are the main way to store information in the middle way of a PHP program.
|
||||
All variables in PHP are donated with a leading dollar sign like `$variable_name`.
|
||||
Variables are assigned with the `= operator` , with the variable on the left-hand side and the expression to be evaluated on the right.
|
||||
|
||||
### Variable Naming
|
||||
|
||||
Rules for naming a variable is listed below:
|
||||
1. Variables names must begin with a letter or underscores character.
|
||||
2. A variable name can consist of numbers, letters, underscores but you cannot use characters like `+ , - , % , ( , ) . &` in its name.
|
||||
3. Variable names are case-sensitive i.e. `($age and $AGE are two different variables)`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating (Declaring) PHP Variables
|
||||
|
||||
In PHP, a variable starts with the $ sign, followed by the name of the variable. The code snippet given below shows it.
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
$txt = "Hello world!";
|
||||
$x = 6;
|
||||
$y = 10.5;
|
||||
?>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Variable lifecycle: Before a variable is used, it has no existence. It is unset. So you can't use it by writing isset($variable) before using it.

|

|
||||
Variable lifecycle: In PHP variables have a default value. If a variable is not declared before you attempt to use it, its value will be NULL. It is unset. So you can't use it by writing `isset($variable)` before using it.
