I. PROGRAM OUTCOME/S (PO) ADDRESSED BY THE LABORATORY EXERCISE
• Design, implement and evaluate computer-based systems or applications to meet
desired needs and requirements.
II. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOME/S (CLO) ADDRESSED BY THE LABORATORY

EXERCISE
• Understand and apply best practices and standards in the development of website.
III. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME/S (ILO) OF THE LABORATORY EXERCISE
At the end of this exercise, students must be able to:
• To know how to include separate PHP code in the main page for code
enhancement.
• To be familiar with the use of common predefined function such as define, include,
and require.
• To use different available mathematical function for manipulating numbers.
IV. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PHP Constants
Constants are like variables except that once they are defined they cannot
be changed or undefined.
A constant is an identifier (name) for a simple value. The value cannot be

changed during the script.

Technologies 11
A valid constant name starts with a letter or underscore (no $ sign before the
constant name).
Note: Unlike variables, constants are automatically global across the entire
script.
Create a PHP Constant

To create a constant, use the define() function.
Syntax
define(name, value, case-insensitive)
Parameters:
• name: Specifies the name of the constant
• value: Specifies the value of the constant
• case-insensitive: Specifies whether the constant name should be case-
insensitive. Default is false
Example
Create a constant with a case-sensitive name:
<?php
define("GREETING", "Welcome to PHP Programming!");
echo GREETING;
?>
PHP Include Files

The include (or require) statement takes all the text/code/markup that
exists in the specified file and copies it into the file that uses the include
statement.
Including files is very useful when you want to include the same PHP, HTML,
or text on multiple pages of a website.
PHP include and require Statements

Technologies 11
It is possible to insert the content of one PHP file into another PHP file (before
the server executes it), with the include or require statement.
The include and require statements are identical, except upon failure:
• require will produce a fatal error (E_COMPILE_ERROR) and stop the script
• include will only produce a warning (E_WARNING) and the script will
continue
So, if you want the execution to go on and show users the output, even if the
include file is missing, use the include statement. Otherwise, in case of
FrameWork, CMS, or a complex PHP application coding, always use the require
statement to include a key file to the flow of execution. This will help avoid
compromising your application's security and integrity, just in-case one key file
is accidentally missing.
Including files saves a lot of work. This means that you can create a standard
header, footer, or menu file for all your web pages. Then, when the header
needs to be updated, you can only update the header include file.
Syntax
include 'filename';
or
require 'filename';
PHP include Examples

Example 1
Assume we have a standard footer file called "footer.php", that looks like this:
<?php
echo "<p>Copyright © 1999-" . date("Y") . " W3Schools.com</p>";
?>
To include the footer file in a page, use the include statement:

Technologies 11
Example
<html>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to my home page!</h1>

<p>Some text.</p>
<p>Some more text.</p>
<?php include 'footer.php';?>
</body>
</html>
Example 2
Assume we have a standard menu file called "menu.php":
<?php
echo '<a href="/default.asp">Home</a> -
<a href="/html/default.asp">HTML Tutorial</a> -
<a href="/css/default.asp">CSS Tutorial</a> -
<a href="/js/default.asp">JavaScript Tutorial</a> -
<a href="default.asp">PHP Tutorial</a>';
?>
All pages in the Web site should use this menu file. Here is how it can be done
(we are using a <div> element so that the menu easily can be styled with CSS
later):
Example
<html>
<body>
<div class="menu">
<?php include 'menu.php';?>
</div>

<p>Some text.</p>
<p>Some more text.</p>

Technologies 11
</body>
</html>
Example 3
Assume we have a file called "vars.php", with some variables defined:
<?php
$color='red';
$car='BMW';
?>
Then, if we include the "vars.php" file, the variables can be used in the calling
file:
Example
<html>
<body>

<?php include 'vars.php';
echo "I have a $color $car.";
?>
</body>
</html>
PHP include vs. require

The require statement is also used to include a file into the PHP code.
However, there is one big difference between include and require; when a file is
included with the include statement and PHP cannot find it, the script will
continue to execute:
Example
<html>
<body>

Technologies 11
<?php include 'noFileExists.php';
?>
</body>
</html>
If we do the same example using the require statement, the echo statement will
not be executed because the script execution dies after the require statement
returned a fatal error:
Example
<html>
<body>

<?php require 'noFileExists.php';
?>
</body>
</html>
PHP String Functions

In this chapter we will look at some commonly used functions to manipulate
strings.
strlen() - Return the Length of a String

The PHP strlen() function returns the length of a string.
Example
Return the length of the string "Hello world!":
<?php
echo strlen("Hello world!"); // outputs 12
?>

Technologies 11
str_word_count() - Count Words in a String
The PHP str_word_count() function counts the number of words in a string.
Example
Count the number of word in the string "Hello world!":
<?php
echo str_word_count("Hello world!"); // outputs 2
?>
strrev() - Reverse a String

The PHP strrev() function reverses a string.
Example
Reverse the string "Hello world!":
<?php
echo strrev("Hello world!"); // outputs !dlrow olleH
?>
strpos() - Search For a Text Within a String

The PHP strpos() function searches for a specific text within a string. If a match
is found, the function returns the character position of the first match. If no
match is found, it will return FALSE.
Example
Search for the text "world" in the string "Hello world!":
<?php
echo strpos("Hello world!", "world"); // outputs 6
?>

Technologies 11
Tip: The first character position in a string is 0 (not 1).
str_replace() - Replace Text Within a String

The PHP str_replace() function replaces some characters with some other
characters in a string.
Example
Replace the text "world" with "Dolly":
<?php
echo str_replace("world", "Dolly", "Hello world!"); // outputs Hello
Dolly!
?>

VI. LABORATORY ACTIVITY
1. Create 5 different short story webpages and Convert your stories into a web
based form, use include() and require() functions to connect all pages
integrate with HTML and CSS (Put images on the stories). See the format
below:

Technologies 11
2. Creation of String Function in PHP, create an array with 20 different names and
get the following:
• Number of characters of each name include spaces
• Change the first character of each name into upper case
• Replace all vowels with @ symbol
• Check the position of letter a
• Change the name into reverse formate
Please see the sample below
Snip and paste your source codes here. Snip it directly from the IDE so that colors
of the codes are preserved for readability. Include additional pages if necessary.

1. What is Constant in PHP

➢ It is an identifier that has a value that cannot be changed.
2. What is the difference between include and require? Explain
➢ Include will still run the script even if the file is not found. While require will

➢ strlen() – returns number of string
➢ strops() – returns position of first occurrence.
➢ strrev() – returns reverse of string
➢ strtolower() – returns string into lowercase
➢ strtoupper() – returns string into uppercase
➢ substr() – returns part of string
➢ unfirst() – capitalizes the first letter of a string
➢ ucwords() – capitalizes the first letter of every word in a string
➢ trim() – strips white spaces from a string
➢ ltrm() – strips white spaces from beginning of string
➢ rtrim() – strips white spaces from end of string
