$a = 1234; // decimal number
$a = -123; // a negative number
$a = 0123; // octal number (equivalent to 83 decimal)
$a = 0x1A; // hexadecimal number (equivalent to 26 decimal)
$a = 0b11111111; // binary number (equivalent to 255 decimal)

Advanced String

Nowdoc

Official doc : Nowdoc
Nowdocs are to single-quoted strings what heredocs are to double-quoted strings. A nowdoc is specified similarly to a heredoc, but no parsing is done inside a nowdoc. The construct is ideal for embedding PHP code or other large blocks of text without the need for escaping. It shares some features in common with the SGML construct, in that it declares a block of text which is not for parsing.

Heredoc

Official doc : Heredoc
A third way to delimit strings is the heredoc syntax: <<<. After this operator, an identifier is provided, then a newline. The string itself follows, and then the same identifier again to close the quotation.

Double quoted

Official doc : Double quoted

Sequence	Meaning
\n	linefeed (LF or 0x0A (10) in ASCII)
\r	carriage return (CR or 0x0D (13) in ASCII)
\t	horizontal tab (HT or 0x09 (9) in ASCII)
\v	vertical tab (VT or 0x0B (11) in ASCII) (since PHP 5.2.5)
\e	escape (ESC or 0x1B (27) in ASCII) (since PHP 5.4.4)
\f	form feed (FF or 0x0C (12) in ASCII) (since PHP 5.2.5)
\\	backslash
\$	dollar sign
\"	double-quote
\[0-7]{1,3}	the sequence of characters matching the regular expression is a character in octal notation, which silently overflows to fit in a byte (e.g. "\400" === "\000")
\x[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,2}	the sequence of characters matching the regular expression is a character in hexadecimal notation
\u{[0-9A-Fa-f]+}	the sequence of characters matching the regular expression is a Unicode codepoint, which will be output to the string as that codepoint's UTF-8 representation (added in PHP 7.0.0)

Variables

Advanced Variables

copy to clipboard

#array declaration
$array = [];

#push to array
$array[] = 'new entry';

#secure variable in string
echo "${variable[0]}";

#dynamic variable name
echo ${'variable' . $i};

#special assign variable with numeric name 
${0} = 'test';

#dynamic variable
$$var;

Assignment by Reference

Official doc : Assignment by Reference
Assignment by reference is also supported, using the "$var = &$othervar;" syntax. Assignment by reference means that both variables end up pointing at the same data, and nothing is copied anywhere.

Superglobals Variables

Official doc : Superglobals Variables Superglobals are built-in variables that are always available in all scopes

• $GLOBALS
• $_SERVER
• $_GET
• $_POST
• $_FILES
• $_COOKIE
• $_SESSION
• $_REQUEST
• $_ENV
