Section 2 - Getting Started with Variables
July 04, 2013 12:05PM
I've completed this section, and understand variables and constants, how to execute basic arithmetic, and incorporating HTML with PHP and vice-versa

Completed the section and did the exercises. Not sure when constants should be used. I'm sure the light will turn on sometime later!

Finished Section 2 and did all exercises. Love it when you write the code without looking at the tutorial code the hole time. The double quotes and single quotes got me a couple of times.

I have read and understood section 2: Getting Started With Variables and have done all the exercises.

However, an interesting note for (coming from a c++ background) is that variables in PHP seems to be a one-type fits all variables. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm so use to having to declare what type of variable something is such as a int variable or a char variable, where you are only allowed to store characters in char's and integers in int's.

This is definitely a mind set change for me grinning smiley

bring it on PHP smiling smiley I'll hopefully master you in the end. thumbs up smiley

have read and completed section2. And it was a bit of tricky for me cause i'm so used to the html variables so I kept on skipping the dollar sign only to see that my code crashes without them.

I'm ready for you PHP, bring it on.

I have gone back and re-studied this section. Programing is completly new to me, so I will still have to refer back to this section, but second time around I feel I have a better grasp of the parenthasis and operator precedence.

Hi all.

Got a full grasp of $mr_shoes and $mr_coats. Very straight forward. No for section 3 smiling smiley

i am actually done with this section and seemed like everything was just on point

thow concatenating was more interesting
print ($direct_text . $first_number);

Completed this section.

@Rushil - thank you for the additional material on variables. Will definitely take a closer look.

I actually downloaded app "PHP quick tutorial" on my tablet and keeping it next to me while working through the exercises. In some instances the app also gives some more insight to variables with regards to the four PHP variable scopes. (local, global, static and parameter)

I have completed this section and it was interesting.

Interesting read:

Hi, I've completed this section, and gained a good understanding in Variable definitions.

A comment I'd like to add is, from my experience on working with additions, subtracting, multiplications and divisions areto ALWAYS use brackets when making sums. This will make it a lot easier to see the logic and to clear out any confusions.
