We know a variable declared within a block will lose its value when the block is left.
Thus the lifetime of a variable is confirmed to its scope.
We know a variable declared within a block will lose its value when the block is left.
Thus the lifetime of a variable is confirmed to its scope.
Scope refers to the visibility of variables. In other words, which parts of your program can see or use it. Normally, every variable has a global scope.
this example shows that sending a function a parameter does not affect its value at the rest of the code outside the function
this example shows the concept of scope with a clear example to 3 types of scopes
1- local scope
2- global scope
3- static scope
this examples shows how to create and give variables values and the right PHP statement components
and it also shows how the types in php can be changed easily without casting
A class or object can have it's own variables. In Java, these are called instance variables.
Local variables can only be referenced and used locally in the method in which they are declared.
1. Local variable lifetime is from method entry to method return.
A final variable can only be initialized once, either via an initializer or an assignment statement. It does not need to be initialized at the point of declaration
This example demonstrates passing arguments by reference and by value to functions.
Pass By Reference :
