I have completed this section. I found that working with variables in php is very similar to working with variables in algebrae! Instead of x's and y's you are using $variable smiling smiley

So I found this section very easy to grasp.

Hi,

I'm at the end of PHP two, floating point variations.
I've gotten myself quite confused with the print statements, it says that there shouldn't be numbers, just variable names, is there a way that I'm supposed to type out the statement so that you get your answer in words, or that you provide the answer in the equation?

Regards

I have completed this section. The concatenation of strings is very interesting when compared to other languages (Java, C#, ActionScript etc.) because they are joined by a period (.) where other languages use the plus (+) to join strings. In this tutorial they recommend the use of single quotations for direct text. This can become a problem when building query strings for mysql, because some surnames contain the single quote character (' winking smiley

such as O'Brien or O'Neill... Something to keep in mind when allowing the user to specify a search criteria for a query.

I think i am super behind, but this is my 1st time working with php or code like it
i find it interesting the way you can store variables and call them back
and the process is quickly starting to make sense for me.
my own personal calculator at the moment

Don't worry man, it is not a race, you should just complete the course in your own time.
It seems there are a few people on here that are trying to finish it before anyone else.

Rather take it slow and make sure you understand everything than rushing through it and by August you can't remember anything anymore.

I think the above advice is extremely good to keep in mind.

Making sure you understand and know how everything works is how you are going to be able to work with PHP at all.

You will continually need to use variables.

Also it helps to focus on the = and $ first just in order to identify all the variables in the first place - for me at least.

The ( . ) fullstop, period is also the one I had to focus on more because of its use and meanings outside of PHP.

Completed,

Really awesome PHP seems to handle variables the same way JavaScript does.
However I know we are going to get onto far more complicated and powerful handling of variables later!

Just curious

When you create a variable in php, what happens to memory?
Is that variable serves as a pointer to wherever it is?
When you change variable value, do you change the actual value or copy?
